[Verse 1]

Here, we turn the first chance that we can get

And we never look underneath the mess

Because what's told is what goes, believe the rest

You'll let them into your head

Just carve a smile and act like you mean them well

But always watch the hand that would seek to sell

Our cards are blank with no fortunes we can tell

With no more heroes to fell

[Pre-Chorus]

These streets, they take no confessions

When they see your lies and obsessions

When good deeds just don't go forgiven

And nothing's what it seems

(Everybody's a monster)

[Chorus]

They know I'm here

Do I give in?

I fought the fear

Do I start again? And I

Ain't thinking clear

Do I give in?

And follow you down the darkness deep within?

[Refrain]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Do I give in?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And start again?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Do I give in?

And follow you down the darkness deep within?

[Verse 2]

Where each master's a slave to a vice or whim

And each word is a gun waiting behind a sin

I wouldn't trust myself enough to drop the ruse

So tell me which one's for you

[Pre-Chorus]

These streets, they take no confessions

When they see your lies and obsessions

When good deeds just don't go forgiven

And nothing's what it seems

(Everybody's a monster)

[Chorus]

They know I'm here

Do I give in?

I fought the fear

Do I start again? And I

Ain't thinking clear

Do I give in?

And follow you down the darkness deep within?

[Refrain]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Do I give in?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And start again?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Do I give in?

And follow you down the darkness deep within?

[Bridge]

And my demise awaits me ahead

Who will save me if there's none left?

I have to run away, run away

Maybe there never was another way, another way

I wish you were made of something but the hate, but the hate

You could never change if I cut the pain, cut the pain

I know there's a part of you I wanna save, wanna save

You know your hand's the only one I'd take, one I'd take

But I'm buried in the middle of the flame, of the flame

And I know that I should get some of the blame, of the blame

For being blinded

[Chorus]

They know I'm here

Do I give in?

I fought the fear

Do I start again? And I

Ain't thinking clear

Do I give in?

And follow you down the darkness deep within?

[Refrain]

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (follow you down)

Do I give in?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And start again?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (follow you down)

Do I give in?

And follow you down the darkness deep within?
