Monster 04:32
I’m just so addicted to being right all the time I say the same old shit to win the fight every time It makes me feel so strong that my words can make you cry And I know, and I know, it’s not over ’til you tell me that you want to die So proud of the monster that I become I like to leave holes in the wall to remind you what I’ve done I’m always daydreaming of screaming in your face Push the blame it’s all your fault in the first place It’s all your fault, your fault, your fault It’s all your fault, your fault, your fault There’s nothing that I like more Than to leave you alone when you need me the most My last resort pick you up from the floor And admire how deep I’ve cut you So proud of the monster that I become I like to leave holes in the wall to remind you what I’ve done I’m always daydreaming of screaming in your face Push the blame it’s all your fault in the first place It’s all your fault, your fault, your fault It’s all your fault, your fault, your fault I’ll take a drive to clear my head And rehearse the apology you’ll be fed I find no sense in trying to make things work I only stick around so you continue to hurt I’ll take a drive to clear my head And rehearse the apology you’ll be fed I find no sense in trying to make things work I only stick around so you continue to hurt I live to make your heart bleed I live to make your heart bleed I live to make your heart bleed I live to make your heart bleed So proud of the monster that I become I like to leave holes in the wall to remind you what I’ve done I’m always daydreaming of screaming in your face Push the blame it’s all your fault in the first place It’s all your fault, your fault, your fault It’s all your fault, your fault, your fault

This isn’t like the last time I promise it’s the last time that I Raise my voice like a weapon You don’t really want to hurt me After all it was me that I Was mad at in the first place I guess you just got in the way Of this path of rage that I follow over and over I’m sorry for what I have done Don’t let me get there anymore I’m the moon and you’re the sun You should’ve known all along This is just a reflection and you and I share the blame It’s your turn to apologize It’s a cycle It’s a cycle You know I didn’t mean to hurt you This is the first time I saw that fear in your eyes I think you didn’t understand me (understand me) You must’ve misheard what I was trying to tell you (tell you) See what you make me do to myself With you is the only time that I lost my temper this way I think you didn’t understand me (understand me) You must’ve misheard what I was trying to tell you I’m sorry for what I have done Don’t let me get there anymore I’m the moon and you’re the sun You should’ve known all along This is just a reflection and you and I share the blame It’s your turn to apologize It’s a cycle It’s a cycle I will say what you want to hear, forget that I was the one who I will say what you want to hear, forget that I was the one who Broke you into pieces with my words and hands, they wrap around you I will say what you want to hear, forget that I was the one who Broke you into pieces with my words and hands, they wrap around you

All Tragedy 04:21
I felt so whole when you were with me Life has gone numb, something is missing I felt so whole when you were with me Life has gone numb, something is missing Can there be a return to order from this Cataclysmic interruption (tell me how to do it) Nowhere feels like home anymore Can there be a return to order from this I felt so whole when you were with me Life has gone numb, something is missing Sleeping to dream, nightmares are bleeding into day I felt so whole when you were with me Life has gone numb, something is missing Sleeping to dream, nightmares are bleeding into day Trapped in a cycle (and each day repeats) Wake up and I lost you (and each day repeats) How could I have stopped this (and each day repeats) And each day repeats Am I on the edge? Trapped in a cycle (and each day repeats) Wake up and I lost you (and each day repeats) How could I have stopped this (and each day repeats) And each day repeats Am I on the edge? Am I on the edge? Balance is history Nobody’s stopping me Insanity’s silhouette Is creeping over me Balance is history Nobody’s stopping me Insanity’s silhouette Is creeping over me

Pure exhaustion leads to the first sign of sleep in weeks Long overdue the first sight of you Slumber breeds an illusion It's an image of the first time I aimed my words at you with the intent of harm But somethings different this time A shadow betraying the source of light I don't recall this wolven figure hiding over your shoulder Could it have been this demon to take you from me Was it he, not I? Was it there this whole time?

Hello hallucinations, no excuse or explanation (No excuse, no excuse, no) Discovery of a way to change this Under a fear of sleep With shadows challenging What was so precious, escaping Now armed with insight No longer ignorant of Solution in sight (in sight) Return to the realm where the beast was first seen Hello hallucinations, the shadow cast by fault and blame (by fault and blame) Now threatened with retribution Under the guise of sleep The reaper’s finger beckoning Unknowingly awaiting recompense Now armed with insight No longer ignorant of Solution in sight (in sight) Return to the realm where the beast was first seen Now, now to return, return the chasm of dream sleep An empty out of body weightless feeling swallowing Now armed with insight No longer ignorant of Solution in sight (in sight) Return to the realm where the beast was first seen

I awake in the dream again, I hear the sound of a furious rapping at my door, could it be demon that took you from me As I open the door the dim light illuminates a curious prize, a dust veiled book resting lonely catches my eye. No title or author scrawled across the cover, questions arise. At further review the writing appears to be familiar, these markings are my own. Page after page of my darkest transgressions. Bound with the skin of the beasts of my burden The book slips from hand, as it crashes to the floor, the words spill out and begin to take form. A sight to behold as my sins and my lies, take shape as a wolven reflection of myself I stood still, mouth agape, as this shadow of self became ever more clear. it was me the whole time

Reprise 02:06
So proud of the monster that I become I sent myself over the edge to escape what I've done I left you there bleeding Now it's hell that I face Can't push the blame it's all my fault in the first place It's all my fault my fault my fault I thought I was whole when you were with me This sick in my head has taken you from me Now no more dreams, this nightmare is here to stay
