I know how dark the night can get

I know how tight my skin can fit

I know how deep the cut can go

I know how much the hate can grow

I know how heavy my chest can seem

I know how loudly I can scream

I know how thick my blood can drip

I know how quick the coin can flip

I know it waits 'til I'm alone

I know it waits to cast a stone

I know it wants to come back in

I know it may one day win

I know it hides 'til the dark of night

It knows I'm weak in the pale moon light

It knows I fear its quick sharp claws

It knows I fear how it once was

I know the monster all too well

I know it will take me back to hell
