Open The Box

I close my eyes and I'm there
Blood on my hands and a lifeless stare
Opening the box a thousand times
Knowing what's coming, but still looking inside

I don't remember doing it, but I know what I did
Like my body take over while my mind went and hid
The ghost of what happened are haunting me still
Won't leave me alone and they never will

Opening the box to see what's inside
Is it me or my monsters that I can't seem to hide?
They're climbing out, can't hold them in
The monsters are raging, the monsters within
(The monsters within)

I hear your voice and I'm there
Blood on my hands and a lifeless stare
I can't explain it or make you understand
It's buried beneath the surface, just under the sand

That I remember doing it, but I know what I did
Like the monsters take over while my mind went and hid
The ghost of what happened are haunting me still
Won't leave me alone and they never will

Opening the box to see what's inside
Is it me or my monsters that I can't seem to hide?
They're climbing out, can't hold them in
The monsters are raging, the monsters within

I smell that smell, I'm back there
Blood on my hands and a lifeless stare
I can't stand the memories or the sounds of the screams
Dreading the darkness because I can't stop the dreams

I don't remember doing it, but I know what I did
I let the monsters take over while my mind went and hid
The ghost of what happened are haunting me still
Won't leave me alone and they never will

Opening the box to see what's inside
Is it me or my monsters that I can't seem to hide?
They're climbing out, can't hold them in
The monsters are raging, the monsters within

The hardest part is being alone
Knowing the strange me and this isn't my home
I don't deserve justice, I don't deserve peace
My skin always crawling with the monsters beneath

I close my eyes and I'm there
Blood on my hands and a lifeless stare
Opening that box a thousand times
Knowing what's coming, but still looking inside
