Antero Lindgren - Mother lyrics

Mother, there's a monster living inside of me Somehow it got past you and now it wants to run free It seems to have my face, but it just can't be me Mother, there's a monster hidden in my dreams He seeks to do the business of all the evil deeds I know you raised me better, but he keeps his hold on me Mother, this monster, it speaks in to my ears I know you're looking out for me, but these whispers can't be seen I feel the goodness in me spreading way, way too thin Mother, you told me he'll never set you free All through your wretched days he will keep you company He always comes around and he never truly leaves Mother, I'm not the monster, it just lives inside of me Go about the days in perfect harmony and peace He lets me see the darkness and the pleasures that all I'm free One day I will show him the one who sets me free Someday I will show him the one who sets me free
