I keep a creature inside
It comes alive when I speak
So I keep the tip of my tongue
Against the back of my teeth
I'd like to say that I know
I've got it under control
But it just keeps pushing and pulling
And pressuring me

And clawing at the walls of my insides
This animosity
I try to hide
That I'm afraid for you to see
The thought just haunts me in my sleep
And I can feel it taking over me
I close my eyes, embrace defeat
As it reminds me the truth at hand
Is what I know for sure
You made the man and I made the monster

I live the life of a wolf
The masquerade is a sheep
But I sewed my heart to my sleeve
To make me easy to read
Now that you know you're my prey
I pray you just stay away
Now that you know that this is a warning

And clawing at the walls of my insides
This animosity
I try to hide
That I'm afraid for you to see
The thought just haunts me in my sleep
And I can feel it taking over me
I close my eyes, embrace defeat
As it reminds me the truth at hand
Is what I know for sure
You made the man and I made the monster

So tell me which man to be
Because I can't decide
Jekyl with his sanity
Or the creature that he keeps inside
A friend to my enemies is not a friend of mine
The only choice that I have is to burry it deep to hyde

And clawing at the walls of my insides
This animosity
I try to hide
That I'm afraid for you to see
The thought just haunts me in my sleep
And I can feel it taking over me
I close my eyes, embrace defeat
As it reminds me the truth at hand
Is what I know for sure
You made the man and I made the monster
