Under the knife I surrendered The innocence's yours to consume You cut it away And you filled me up with hate Into the silence you sent me Into the fire consumed You thought I'd forget But it's always in my head You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? You're the love that I hate You're the drug that I take Will you cage me? Will you cage me? You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? From the monster you made me From the monster you made me This is the world you've created The product of what I've become My soul and my youth Since it's all for you to use If I could take back the moment I let you get under my skin Relent or resist? Seems the monster always wins You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? You're the love that I hate You're the drug that I take Will you cage me? Will you cage me? You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? From the monster you made me From the monster you made me My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul I’ll lift you up and then I’ll let you go I've made an art of digging shallow holes I drop the darkness in and watch it grow My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul Who knew the emptiness could be so cold I've lost the parts of me that make me whole I am the darkness I'm the monster
