When Good Men Fall

This isn't who I meant to be
I didn't want to be this monster
Oppressed and sold to slavery
Living in a nightmare

I see you across the table
And I can't let you leave
My life is not stable
And I cannot be alone

But I can't stop
The monster has me
And the more I struggle
The less I'm free
Don't you see
You couldn't leave
Cause I'd be all alone
Waiting by the phone
When no one's gonna call
This is what happens
When bad men strike
And the good men fall

The pain insides to great
I need you to stay
I am the monster
That evil create

So I make sure you stay
With a tie around your neck
You won't leave today
And the monster wins

Lay me down to sleep
Resting next to you
Caressing my Bleep
Monster reborn anew

Please make me stop
The monster has me
I've struggled for these years
And I'm not free
Don't you see
You have to leave
I'll be all alone
Fighting the monster on my own
Knowing that I'll lose
This is what happens
When bad men strike
And the good men fall

Now I'm fighting
But I'm slowly dying
The monster's slowly winning
I'm helpless

Please run away
Please save me from myself
If you don't leave
You'll have to pay

Oooh...

Police men at the door
Are you here to save me?
Look under the floor
And I'll free my demons

Yes, I killed them all
I admit to everything
So this time
The monster will fall

Filling with remorse
And the monster's still inside
An uncompromising force
He will never die

Please make me stop
The monster still has me
I'm struggling forever
And I'll never be free
Don't you see
I can't leave
Surrounded by people
I'm still all alone
Fighting him on my own
This is what happens
When bad men strike
And the good men fall

Description

Ok, I wrote this about, and in honor, or maybe pity, of Dennis Nilsen. It's about the monster Nilsen had to fight and stuff. you need to read a bit about him to get the true affect of the poem, but you can understand it if you don't read about him, too.
This was written to be a song, which is why the rhythm and ryme is al lscrewed up. *shrugs* it sounds perfect with the music, but I don't feel like singing it

Brief Summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Nilsen

Detailed: http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/predators/nilsen/stranger_1.html

REALLY brief summary: Guy with a dog named Bleep goes around and kills people. (so the line that says 'resting with my Bleep' is not vulgar, it's talking about his dog, you sickos!!).

AWESOME! I love it. It's kind of like Secret window. Someone else takes over and becomes the moster that you are. It'a slike drinking I guess.
