Monster (Dmike Radio Edit)

Six Cents, c’mon

There's a monster

I ain’t playin’ games, too far from the cradle

And way too smart to just stay and enable

She be thinkin’ I ain’t seeing the signs

She been somewhere else, you can see it in her eyes

Lost in the shadows, don’t know left from right

All alone in the darkness, not a friend in sight

Should I give in to my weakness, or fight for my life

With demons closing in on every side

How can love survive

In a world of smoke and mirrors

Where your heart can’t hide

From the lies they’re getting clear to see

I'm so terrified

I keep calling for a hero to come

But no one hear when I scream

There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark)

There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart)

I can’t run from this feeling

I can’t run from this pain

I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again

There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark)

There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart)

I can’t run from this feeling

I can’t run from this pain

I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again

My heartbeat racing, body cold with sweat

Trying to find safe shelter, from the fears in my head

But I can hear heavy footsteps, creeping up from behind

Is it real or is it in my mind

How can love survive

In a world of smoke and mirrors

Where your heart can’t hide

From the lies they’re getting clear to see

I'm so terrified

I keep calling for a hero to come

But no one hear when I scream

There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark)

There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart)

I can’t run from this feeling

I can’t run from this pain

I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again

There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark)

There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart)

I can’t run from this feeling

I can’t run from this pain

I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again

What you thinkin’, how’d it come to this

Runnin’ game after you been fumbled with

Dropped the ball, caught red handed

Discarded my heart, damn near I can’t stand it

Stayed alive for your love, all I had was your touch

Felt changin’ my life for the better

But now I know that’s a bluff, turned my pain into drugs

Where my scars on my chest like a sweater

I'm better without you

Why in the hell I kept thinkin’ about you (why)

I be on the prowl who’s for the taking

Now look at the monster that you created, girl

There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark)

There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart)

I can’t run from this feeling

I can’t run from this pain

I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again

There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark)

There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart)

I can’t run from this feeling

I can’t run from this pain

I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again
