[Intro: L's speech about monsters from Death Note]

There are many types of monsters

In this world

Monsters that will not show themselves

& cause trouble

Monsters who abduct children

Monsters that devour dreams

Monsters that suck blood

& monsters who always tell lies

Lying monsters are a real nuisance

They are much more cunning than other monsters

They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of a human heart

They eat even though they nеver experiеnced hunger

They study even though they have no interest in academics

They seek friendship even though they have no idea how to love

If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten


[Chorus]

The inner self wants to

Claw their way out of this Suffocating skin

The pressure and expectation to be a man

Makes me feel like a disappointment


[Verse]

All I have is this craft to vent to

Never feel comfortable confiding with anyone

Breaking free of all the chains

That tie me down to hell

Cause my issues are so ugly

Truly despise anyone who acts above me

I know old friends had enough of me

That's why they all left


[Chorus]

The inner self wants to

Claw their way out of this Suffocating skin

The pressure and expectation to be a man

Makes me feel like a disappointment


[Bridge]

But did I make the right turn

Or did I take a shot at the shadow

& missed the critical despite my swift strike

Oh oh yeah


[Outro]

Waste the days away

Waiting for a change

That never comes my way

Sell a piece of me everytime I miss you

Is it okay to not be okay

Cause now you're gone

& your body is on the floor with blood pouring out

I just wish everything could just be the same

But it never will be cause you're now gone

FOREVER
