Under the knife I surrendered
The innocence 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
Seems it's all for you to use
If I could take back the moment
I'd let you get under my skin
But never resist
Cause 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 north is a decoy soul
I'll lift you up and then I let you go
I've made an art of being shadows
I tried to turn to see it and watch it grow
My heart's north is a decoy soul
Who knew the emptiness could be so cold
I lost the parts of me that make me whole
I am the darkness
I'm a monster
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
From the monster you made me
From the monster you made me
