SONG FACTS: Singer Randy V was cutting his vocals at Bass-Mint Studios in New Jersey when THN co-producer and bassist John 'JD' DeServio told him the lyrics were out-of-place within the context of the whole album. The entire band (including Randy) agreed. The following morning Randy wrote the title track 'Monster', which he describes as a life-long battle with codependency, born out of growing up in an appalling alcoholic environment. Regarding the lyrics, Randy states, "Sometimes the issue is not the addiction you were subjected to, but rather the unconscious need to be validated through hedonism and debauchery. It's a losing battle trying to fill an endless void right through the center of your being. That's what the monster is, blind, never-ending hunger, either trying to feel alive and known, or completely annihilated. There is no in between. The battle is fought with vigilance, everyday. It creeps up on you when you're not watching and destroys the people who actually love you. It's a beast to be reckoned with."

The witches fly and always cry when I fail them
To hit a wall and fall was never my intention
All tied up in knots, waitin' for the fury
But the beast inside is tellin' me not to worry

You are the earthy woman I’ve been waiting for
Locked in my prison cell, I gotta have some more
Thought I was good to go when I left the horror
But I’m not allowed to love; here comes the monster

Wide awake in the void of validation
The hero-self exposes my destruction
Guilt ridden, love killer, biting as you weep
All my thoughts are lost in you so deep

You are the earthy woman I’ve been waiting for
Locked in my prison cell, I gotta have some more
Thought I was good to go when I left the horror
But I’m not allowed to love; here comes the monster

The witches fly and always cry when I fail them
