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 A monster, a monster I've turned into a monster A monster, a monster And it keeps getting stronger Can I clear my conscience, If I'm different from the rest Do I have to run 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 A monster, a monster I've turned into a monster A 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 A monster, a monster I've turned into a monster A monster, a monster And it keeps getting stronger
