Invisible Monster

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 Invisible monster --- Invisible Monster - Dream Theater
