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
