Monster

Lyrics by NƐØSHØ Music and Vocals by AI Lyrics: [Intro] don’t pick at it… don’t pick at it… don’t it’s not your skin… it’s not your skin… [Verse 1] Something’s scratching on the inside of my skull Clawing at the bone like it’s trying to get out I bit my tongue just to make sure I’m real But the blood tastes wrong when I spit it out My teeth feel loose like they don’t belong Like I borrowed this mouth from a corpse Every word I say comes out rearranged Like it’s twisting itself mid-course I keep seeing movement out the corner of my eyes But it freezes every time that I stare Then it smiles when I’m not looking straight I can feel it breathing in my hair [Pre-Chorus] It keeps saying I’m the problem here That I’m the thing it needs to peel If I just let it wear me once… Then maybe I’ll know how it feels [Chorus] My skin don’t fit right anymore It’s pulling tight, it’s fucking torn There’s something underneath it's clawing Trying to be reborn I hear it screaming through my veins It’s learning how to say my name If I don’t cut it out right now I won’t be me again [Verse 2] I found my face drawn on the wall Over and over with hollow eyes Every version looks a little off Like it’s practicing my disguise I don’t remember making them But the pen’s still warm in my hand And the last one’s smiling way too wide Like it finally understands The lights keep buzzing in a pattern Like they’re spelling something out to me I smashed them all but now it’s darker And it’s easier for it to see [Pre-Chorus] It laughs when I start to break Says, “Go ahead, just separate…” If I just open up my chest It promises to replicate [Chorus] My skin don’t fit right anymore It’s pulling tight, it’s fucking torn There’s something underneath it's clawing Trying to be reborn I feel it crawling up my spine Rewriting what I think is mine If it reaches up behind my eyes Then I’m out of time [Bridge] peel it back NO. peel it back STOP it’s not yours IT IS we can share GET OUT you asked for this you begged for peace you begged for silence I am the silence. [Breakdown] I tried to rip it out my throat But it laughed when I began to choke Said, “You can’t kill what you created” Then it forced my jaw back closed My reflection moved before I did And mouthed the words I couldn’t say “I’ve been waiting way too long…” Then it slowly turned away [Final Chorus] This skin is splitting, I can’t stay It’s pushing me further away There’s something wearing me like clothing And it’s here to fucking stay My thoughts are not my own anymore It’s locking every hidden door If you see me walking past you That’s not me for sure [Outro] don’t fight it… it feels better when you let go…
