People see me and say he's degrading
It's something they keep saying
He's really not who he seems to be
I say how would you know, you’re not me
All this anger fuels my doubts
Open the cage the beast shouts
I try to fight it and keep it at bay
But it will come out and succeed one day
I am scared for what it is and what it will do
It taunts me and whispers that'll bring bliss and make anew
No more constant misery adorning on my shore
No more engulfing agony raging through this war
I yearn for that true happiness
To let go and stop the loneliness
But I know it's a lie
It'll make me say goodbye
It wants to destroy everything
and then I'll have nothing
I have given up from the pain
The one thing I've tried so hard to maintain
Is clawing at the walls inside my soul
It has finally achieved its goal
This is the end of my seal
I had hoped that this wouldn't become real
It begs for me to let it go
An I had always told it no
And now I say I will, but I don't know how to open the lock
It seems to me this isn’t much of a shock
Maybe I'll be happy with myself then
The problem is though, that that freedom will come when
I can't allow myself to give up this view for too long
Because then my soul will corrupt and go wrong
It scares me to think and feel these things
The monster has made it to the door and the bell he constantly rings
The mirror door won't unlock so I hope it shatters
Within this sight nothing matters
No getting held back or put down
This creature I will grant the crown
Because the lost key will never be found
When he is finally free all will be quiet and make no sound
Don't worry the real me is coming near
I just can't wait till he gets here
Believe me this isn't vapid
The death rate will become rapid
Enjoy the show, I know I will
Watch it all crumble and turn shrill
Now it seems the lock won't have to be broken
The world has already fallen ill
