  • When you face the creature
    That waits beneath your bed
    Will you stare into its eyes or look away?

    Running toward the fire
    Or fleeing from the flame
    The choice to seek or hide is yours to make

    The serpent inside
    Wrapping its tail around my neck
    I'm buried alive
    Dying to take another breath

    Invisible monster
    Always felt but never seen
    Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
    Invisible monster

    Hiding, never showing its face
    Feeding on irrational fear
    Thoughts race at a feverish pace
    Soaring on a flight of ideas

    Perched on its victim's shoulder
    Whispering in its ear
    Things that may never happen
    Worries too much to bear

    Invisible monster
    Always felt but never seen
    Unwelcome presence refusing to leave
    Invisible monster

    Invisible monster
    Always felt but never seen
    Unwelcome presence refusing to leave

    Invisible monster
    Beast that dwells inside my mind
    Give up your hold let me take back control
    Invisible monster
