A darkness inside, lurking deep in my heart
A terrible heat that I wish would depart
The joy I once held has all but flown away
Perhaps to return come judgment day.

And I don't understand what's happening
When did I lose control?
When, I wonder, was this monster set free?
When did I give up my soul?

The darkness that hides deep within my heart
That anger ripped my only friend apart
And with blood on my hands that only I can see
The world remains blind to the evil in me.

And I don't understand what's happening
When did I lose control?
When, I wonder, was this monster set free?
When did I give up my soul?

The looks on their faces when I came back alone
When I told them, softly, that he wasn't coming home
The way that she looked at me, with such pain
And I knew she would never smile at me again

And I don't understand what's happening
When did I lose control?
When, I wonder, was this monster set free?
When did I give up my soul?

The years have gone past, not healing my soul
Keeping me from ever becoming whole
A darkness inside, lurking deep in my heart
Is the terrible thing that now rips me apart

And I don't understand what's happening
When did I lose control?
When, I wonder, was this monster set free?
When did I give up my soul?
