The Monster needed me to be

(Verse 1)

He wares the scars of battles fought,

In a world where love was hard to find,

With dreams, he built it all,

Thought he left the darkness behind.

But whispers of betrayal cut so deep,

A tender heart now lost in the fray,

His sons laughter turned to shadows,

As his world began to fray.

(Chorus)

“Don’t leave me, Daddy, please,”

The cries echo in his mind,

His little boy’s grip like a barbed-wire noose around his neck,

His nails leaving new scars as his mother pulls harder to rip him from his father.

In the chaos, love entwined.

Fighting demons from the past,

In a broken home, he stands,

With a heart so heavy,

(Verse 2)

Promises shattered, a love turned cold,

As she pulls their son away,

He feels the emptiness consume him whole,

In the silence, he starts to sway.

The screams of his child, they haunt his soul, the face of his frightened sons tears

“Why are you leaving me daddy?”,

Feeling Caught in the crossfire of a battle unseen,

His heart aches, longing to free his son of this pain.

(Chorus)

“Don’t leave me, Daddy, please,”

The cries echo in his mind,

His little boy’s grip like a barbed-wire noose around his neck,

His nails digging deeper leaving new scars around his neck as his mother pulls harder to rip him from his father.

In the chaos, love entwined.

Fighting demons from the past,

In a broken home, he stands,

With a heart so heavy.

(Bridge)

In the shadows of despair, he drops a hollow point in, he feels the darkness wrapping him up settling all around,

he cocks that hammer back,

pulls the trigger,

the hammer slam down, CLICK that was louder then the crack of thunder at night,

feeling the barrel against his forehead,

flicker of hope in the dark, as feels it all around..

He laid his burdens down into that pool, as he hit his knees..

He hears his sons laughter in the dark lighting his way,

(Verse 3)

He threw the gun against that wall,

hearing sound of freedom echoing all around him, tears run down his face, holding the led in his hands, crying

“I’ll never give up For you, my son, I’ll fight for you.”

A protective monster emerged that night,

love as his armor, he’ll make the pain go away,

For every tear and every scar, the battles he ever fought, he’ll make it right.

He’ll be the father his son needs,

(Outro)

Hearing his sons cries,

“Daddy please Don’t leave me, Daddy, please don’t leave me”.

His cries echo in his mind,

His little boy’s grip like a noose around his neck,

In the chaos, love entwined.

Fighting demons from the past,

In a broken home, broken heart he stands,

With a heart so heavy,

He’ll fight with all he has.

He feels that monster coming back, As his daughter needs her father as her brother did.

Catena... Non... Marcum...
