lyrics

There's a monster crawling underneath my skin; it lives in the back of your mind. What are values when it's only you and me fighting for the rest of our lives? Don't be afraid of all the fiction in what I do. When no one answers, you're moving on and moving out. The games we play are set up only so you lose. When all the cancer ate up his body, it broke me down. There's a place where we all go when the light is taken away from the white of our eyes. It's not heaven, it's the flatlands; there's a field there where we spend most of our lives. Do you ever really learn? All your problems are self induced with easy solutions. All true men are monsters. A man can't help himself. We can hide all we want. We are shackled by diplomacy and moral police. Soon enough the skin will break and let all our demons out. They will take our inhibitions hostage and if the demands are not met, we become who we are. We will fall apart.
