Monster in the Mirror

Monster in the Mirror

I bleed the pain away
Just a small puddle on the floor
A few dark passengers
That I didn't really care for anymore
The ghost that haunt my mind
I put them in a jar
So they will be there when I need them
They're not going very far
The monster under my bed
Well that there is my chum
And anyone who would attack me in my sleep
Find out they were dumb
But the skeletons in my closet
They are a constant reminder
They have all my deep and darkest
Filed up in a binder
The worst nightmare creature 
In the mirror it resides
It shows I'm a monster here
And the real me, he just hides
