1. THE MONSTER WITHIN

Fixated on the black
The path to self-destruction
You administer the drug that keeps the demons at bay
Small comfort is the remedy that courses through your veins
Self-medicated, heart rate elevated
You are ready to face the abyss

Desensitised and hypnotised
Seduced by dreamers and their lies
The chemical solution to the fears and wasted years

Poison is pleasure, and death is the saviour
The permanent escape is your release
And vice is a virtue
Making sense of the chaos we're all in
But your pain is your gain
You embrace the darkness
No longer afraid, all doubt is allayed
And you can face the monster within

Looking through the cracks
You see the world beyond
In this violent haze, your clouded gaze finds what you're searching for
The injection is the stream of consciousness that now sustains you
A moment's relief, a fatal deceit
The end is now guaranteed

Desensitised and hypnotised
Seduced by dreamers and their lies
The chemical solution to the fears and wasted years

Poison is pleasure, and death is the saviour
The permanent escape is your release
And vice is a virtue
Making sense of the chaos we're all in
But your pain is your gain
You embrace the darkness
No longer afraid, all doubt is allayed
And you can face the monster within

Face your demons
Dare to free them
Face your demons
Dare to free them
Addiction prevails when life fails us
So eager to succumb
Another day ends the same way
Forever enslaved

Desensitised and hypnotised
Seduced by dreamers and their lies
The chemical solution to the fears and wasted years

Poison is pleasure, and death is the saviour
The permanent escape is your release
And vice is a virtue
Making sense of the chaos we're all in
But your pain is your gain
You embrace the darkness
No longer afraid, all doubt is allayed
And you can face the monster within
