Johnston, Daniel - The Monster Inside Of Me Lyrics

I saw him perform in L.A. around 2012. The meds he took put a lot of weight on him, and gave him a tremor in one of his arms. He needed to read his lyrics off of a music stand, and he guzzled a lot of water between songs.


Honestly, musically, he was wobbly. But I have never been to a show like this before. The entire audience was rooting for him, ignoring any mistakes, encouraging him, pouring love out to him. It was amazing. I don't know how to explain it well, but I backed out of the audience and saw that not only were they all crowded toward the stage, like most shows. It was like the audience was leaning in towards, keeping him afloat. The songs were great, but he must have sung True Love Will Find You in The End a thousand times. The magic was in the love.

only DJ song i can think of that he swears in

there's another one where he says fuck. I forget the name.

Sometimes even Daniel had to pull that trigger.

dailyflash it’s called “And I wonder”

@Mei Clover i gotta check that out thanks!!!

Rip Daniel I hope you found some peace

Listening to this song today breaks my heart more than ever.

RIP DANIEL :’(

RIP Daniel

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This song will always break me down.

I feel you Danny

Every time you look at me
You see the monster in my eye
If you could only help me girl
We could be in paradise

Be happy every after
And there would be no more tears
Eternal peace is what I'm after
Maybe girl, you could help me understand
The monster inside of me

You know that I want you
You can see that I need you
But you hate the monster
Well honey, I do too.

I need your love to carry me
Out of the darkness of the pit
You know I feel just like shit
Maybe girl, you could help me fight
The monster inside of me

Maybe if someone had said to Vincent Van Gogh
"Keep punching, Joe!"
Maybe he'd be here today.
Maybe he'd be here today.

You inspire the strength within
And I can be conquerer
As my spirit rise above us
Maybe girl, you could help me destroy
The monster inside of me

And we could be happy
And we could be happy
And we could be happy
And we could be happy
