  i cant escape myself
i cant get rid
of this anger inside
and it is reaching the surface now
no matter what i do
i cannot keep the monster hidden

it's like the monster
is inside of me, growing
it comes alive and rages at everything
and i'm so angry, and it all hurts-
i'm so stressed out
i can hardly breathe

i cant even scream it all out
like i really want to
it is impossible
because i want to scream so loud
the the monster and the whole world is forced to listen
and then explodes like a balloon

the scream i need to scream
would be a sound
much too long and high to make
and then the monster and the world wouldnt explode
but instead my voice box
would shut down and break
and i refuse to be broken

all i want is to escape
to get a refuge
i want to not be angry anymore
but i cant help it
i cant even scream it all out

the monster wont leave
