They told me not to love
At least until I truly knew
The real face of people
So I decided to do that, and it's terrifying
I spent so much time thinking monsters
Lived under the bed or in door cracks
That they thrived in darkness, waiting for the right moment
But the truth isn't like that, not at all
They're everywhere
Even inside of us
Just waiting for a chance
To emerge
Terrified by this new face
That stares right at me
It makes me see the worst of myself
Terrified, petrified, terrified
Because everywhere
And every woman
Terrified
Like a dark song inside the mind
Each verse a piercing, shadowy melody
Tearing every part of us and sawing in half
Dividing the good from the bad, dismembering everything
A grotesque and bloody scene that somehow
Gets everyone excited with its slow, twisted torture
Terrifying, silencing, laughing at themselves
Bathed in blood, a face hidden behind makeup
Terrified by this new face
That stares right at me
It makes me see the worst of myself
Terrified, petrified, terrified
They're everywhere
Even inside of us
Just waiting for a chance
To emerge
Terrified by this new face
That stares right at me
It makes me see the worst of myself
Terrified, petrified, terrified
