• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Intro:

Dm


Verse 1:
    Dm
Look, to you, I'm different
Dm
 It's 'cause I refuse to listen
Dm
 To all the stupid shit that you include in your opinion
Dm
 I got enough issues trying to be a human living in a ruined system
                          Dm
While I'm running from a crucifixion
Dm
 You'll never get it, I put myself in this position
Dm
 And nothing you could do could ever worsen my condition
Dm
 So while you try to play the villain
                Dm
Understand that I'm the monster in my blood
Dm
Looking for a way to spill it

Verse 2:
Dm
 I can't wait till you see what I make
       Dm
When I paint the walls red with a gun to my brain
     Dm
And I can't wait to see the look on your face
       Dm
When I lay in my own grave, I was never afraid to die
Dm
 Now, I'm playing, I'd never follow through
        Dm
And I'm never gon' do what you want me to, I'm staying
Dm
My mind's racing, you think it's 'cause of you
        Dm
But my thoughts are like a room, you ain't even in my basement

Verse 3:
      Dm                 Em
Not a day passes I don't ask myself, who am I?
F                      Gm
And I have a habit of imagining my suicide
Dm                              Em
 The thoughts I'm having got me battling my stupid mind
F                        Gm
Why does every situation have to be a do or die?
Dm
I have to be a foolish lie
Em                        F                                Gm
 Something that I used to tell myself that always seems to make me lose my cool inside
Dm
Makes me think I'm cool with dying
Em                     F
But really all I wanna do is spit the truth
               Gm
And watch my dreams and points of view align


Pre -chorus:
Dm
I think there's something wrong inside my head, I'm getting anxious
Dm
I've lost all hope I had of staying calm, I cannot stand this
Dm
So bite your tongue and walk away because I need a minute
Dm
I feel the blood run through my veins and there's a monster in it


Chorus:
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
          Dm
You don't wanna see the monster in my blood
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
          Dm
You don't wanna see the monster I've become


Bridge:
N.C.
My mind's a prison, confinement living
N.C.
The lights are dimmed and no one tries to visit
N.C.
Time is ticking to find the missing
N.C.
Keys to the cell I'm in or die within it


Verse 4:
  Dm
I wish I had a minute, I would make amends
         Em
With the demons that are moving in my vacant head
F
Maybe I'd convince 'em we'd be great as friends
      Gm                                  A
Maybe then they would listen, it's you we hate instead
        Dm
I could take my meds or I could pray it ends
          Em
Or make a deal with the devil, maybe pay him rent
   F
My only other choice is fill my brain with lead
           Gm                              A
Or keep on living with the voices till the day I'm dead


Verse 5:
Dm                             Em
Now you know that I'm the only person that can dig my grave
    F                             Gm
But didn't pay attention 'cause I went and did it yesterday
Dm                                 Em
 It's got me thinking that there's gotta be a better way
      F                               A
I'll start by laying you to sleep and tuck you in the bed I made
       Dm
You'll never get the best of me
Em                           F                         Gm
 I'll bury you with all my skeletons that always had a negative effect on me
Dm                     Em
You won't ever get away, I never hesitate
     F                                    Dm
I'll close the lid and fill the hole then throw a rose and celebrate


Pre-chorus:
Dm
I think there's something wrong inside my head, I'm getting anxious
Dm
I've lost all hope I had of staying calm, I cannot stand this
Dm
So bite your tongue and walk away because I need a minute
Dm
I feel the blood run through my veins and there's a monster in it


Chorus:
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
          Dm
You don't wanna see the monster in my blood
Dm
 You don't wanna see the monster
          Dm
You don't wanna see the monster I've become
