"Creature" lyrics - ASKING ALEXANDRIA

Deep in the shadows, I'm fighting a battle
The creature wants me screaming, screaming
I think I'm losing, tired of choosing, I'm slipping down
I can't stop screaming, screaming

[Chorus:]
I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me
Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too

I can't just turn to the menace I've clung to
The creature wants me screaming, screaming
I can't determine, I'm sure that it's hell-bent on breaking out
And hearing you screaming, screaming

[Chorus:]
I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me
Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too

[Breakdown:]
I can't hold back
I can't hold back
I can't hold back
Oh, yeah!

[Chorus:]
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from you
If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too!
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from you
If I let it out, I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too
