about

Learning about narcissists has helped me to understand some of the abuse and to protect myself.

lyrics

MONSTERS © DJ Gosper

There’s monsters here in human form. They abuse our trust
Swallow us whole then regurgitate our ashes to feed their lust
Monsters say they love us but monsters don’t know how
They twist our truth, they subjugate, mock us,
make hollow vows, make hollow vows

Monster manipulators, masters of disguise
We surrender who we are and let them turn our truth to lies
Monsters feed off misery and kick us when we’re down
They tempt us to the water’s edge, another kick we hear them
laughing as we drown, laugh as we drown

Monsters, predators, parasites, feed off our empathy
We stay with them, they convince us, it’s not safe to leave
Monsters wear a charming mask to fulfil our fantasies
They reel us in they know we are naïve, we’re so naïve
We’re so naïve

Monsters are superior, they are unique! Unique! Unique!
Gaslight, project, deflect, attack the kind, attack the weak
Monsters, malignant monsters must be admired and desired
Overt, covert yeah it’s double the hurt. They’re all ugly from inside
Ugly on the inside

Mirror mirror on the wall, is that the smell of rotting rage?
Minimise, trivialise, they clip our wings and keep us confused in our cage
Monster’s got no sense of self, they don’t know who they are
Who are you? I don’t know who you are
Who are you? I don’t know who you are
