Monster
Hands Like Houses Lyrics

Digging down, digging down, digging down in the dirt
Continuously searching deep within oneself, uncovering past experiences and buried emotions

Sweat it out, sweat it out till it doesn't burn
Persistently working through the pain and discomfort until it no longer hurts

In the dark, in the dark it can hear when I breathe
Even in the darkest moments, when I am alone and vulnerable, it senses my existence

Now it's closing in on me
The internal struggle or fear is getting closer, becoming increasingly overwhelming

It's getting louder now, it's getting louder now
The intensity and significance of this struggle is amplifying

Don't make another sound (I can feel it coming to life)
Suppressing any outward expression or signal of distress, as it awakens and gains power

It's getting closer now, it's getting closer now
The threat or turmoil I face is approaching rapidly

It's gonna run me down (I can feel it coming to life)
It will chase after me relentlessly, taking control and causing harm

I can feel it coming to life
I am aware of this force within me rising and becoming active

Take me to my grave, save me
Bring me to a place of final rest and peace, free me from this torment

Chain me to my cage, save me
Confine me within my own limitations or restrictions, providing a sense of safety and protection

Trying to feel, trying to heal, trying to kill the disease
Engaging in a constant struggle to experience emotions, find healing, and eradicate the internal affliction

Picking flesh, picking bone from between my teeth
Removing remnants of pain and suffering from the depths of my being, confronting the remnants of past struggles

No sleep, no sleep when you run with the beasts
There is no rest or peace when one is entangled with their inner demons or dark thoughts

Now they're closing in on me
These inner demons or afflictions are drawing nearer, encroaching on my sanity

Don't let it take me out (I can feel it coming to life)
Do not allow it to overpower or destroy me, as I can sense its growing strength

It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me
This internal struggle or torment is slowly draining the life and vitality out of me

It's killing me slow, killing me slow
The destructive force is gradually eroding my spirit and well-being

From the inside out
The source of this destruction is within me, permeating through every aspect of my existence

Yeah, I can feel it coming to life
Indeed, I am fully aware of this force growing in strength and influence
