Monster

Ever since I could remember, 
Everything inside of me, 
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh) 
I was never one for pretenders, 
Everything I tried to be, 
Just wouldn't settle in (oh oh oh oh) 

If I told you what I was, 
Would you turn your back on me? 
And if I seem dangerous, 
Would you be scared? 
I get the feeling just because 
Everything I touch isn't dark enough 
If this problem lies in me 

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me, 
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me. 
monster, a monster, 
I've turned into a monster, 
monster, a monster, 
And it keeps getting stronger. 

Can I clear my conscience, 
If I'm different from the rest, 
Do I have [bad word] and hide? (oh oh oh oh) 
I never said that I want this, 
This burden came to me, 
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh) 

If I told you what I was, 
Would you turn your back on me? 
And if I seem dangerous, 
Would you be scared? 
I get the feeling just because, 
Everything I touch isn't dark enough 
If this problem lies in me 

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me, 
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me. 
monster, a monster, 
I've turned into a monster, 
monster, a monster, 
And it keeps getting stronger. 

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me, 
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me. 
monster, a monster, 
I've turned into a monster, 
monster, a monster, 
And it keeps getting stronger.
