askana-im monster

Chorus

Don't get too close to the edge

I am a monster

Don't look into my eyes

I'll show you a monster

Now that you know the truth

Will you still call my name

Or leave me in this empty hall

Because I am a monster

Verse 1

You saw the cracks

I tried so hard to hide beneath the paint

Looking for a hero

But you only found a saint that fell

Shadows start to crawl

My skin feels tight like iron wire

Heavy is the ghost

Drowning in a quiet forest of desire

Pre-Chorus

Everything we built

Turned to sand within my shaking grip

Look at what I made

Watch the steady silver lifeline slip

Chorus

Don't get too close to the edge

I am a monster

Don't look into my eyes

I'll show you a monster

Now that you know the truth

Will you still call my name

Or leave me in this empty hall

Because I am a monster

Verse 2

Hold your breath now

Silence is a weapon I don't know how to use

Stumble in the dark

Winner of a game I was born to lose

Tearing at the walls

Wishing I could be someone you trust

Broken and afraid

Building up a tower out of pride and rust

Pre-Chorus

Everything we built

Turned to sand within my shaking grip

Look at what I made

Watch the steady silver lifeline slip

Chorus

Don't get too close to the edge

I am a monster

Don't look into my eyes

I'll show you a monster

Now that you know the truth

Will you still call my name

Or leave me in this empty hall

Because I am a monster

Bridge

Maybe I'm the problem

Maybe I'm the one to blame

Maybe I'm the spark

Feeding every single flicker of the flame

Chorus

Don't get too close to the edge

I am a monster

Don't look into my eyes

I'll show you a monster

Now that you know the truth

Will you still call my name

Or leave me in this empty hall

Because I am a monster
