Lyrics

Monster
by Tom and Mary Erangey, copyright 2009

Verse 1: Can't escape the mess I'm in
I'm to blame that's who I am
I feel like a tuna in a tin
Can't hold back the restless wind

Chorus: Rage....Rage...
There's a monster in my head

Verse 2: Every night I walk these streets
Heavy steps to leave behind
Crazy voices, raving mind
Vivid red please wash me clean

Chorus: Rage....Rage...
There's a monster in my head

Bridge: Won't let me sleep
Won't let me breathe
Won't let me weep

Won't let me scream
Won't let me feel
Won't let me dream

Won't let me sleep
Won't let me breathe
Won't let me weep

Won't let me scream
Won't let me...

Verse 3: I'll call you out and face you down
Bring the heat the show is on
War paint haka let me bleed
Deliverance is what I need

Chorus: Rage....Rage...
There's a monster in my head

Rage...Rage...
There's a monster in my head
There's a monster in my head
There's a monster in my head
There's a monster in my head
There's a monster in my head
There's a monster in my head
