lyrics

This whole town is on fire
There’s been a killing spree
I’m scared for my life
And my family
A cold collected darkness
Is running in the streets
Come with me child
To safety and relief

It came in like a wave
Driven from the sea
Bringing with it heartache
The likes you've never seen
Now walk with me, sister
To our dead friends
This whole town is burning
And its bitter end

Under the street lights there’s evidence
To a scene of a crime which I'm innocent
And it holds me down
There’s a monster up in these hills
He shatters, he scars, and he kills
There’s monster inside of me...
My enemy

It’s a call of the void
Lacking empathy
Destroying all your morals
A plague, a disease
Deranged and empathic
Controls what you see
Now run with me sister
It’s time we fucking leave

Better run, run, run
Have yourself a decent escape plan
It watches as you sleep
Locked doors, tucked away
So damn methodic
You better run, grab a gun
It doesn’t matter now. This town is a wasteland
And now the monster in me becomes the monster in you
