Monster Lyrics

Ever since I could remember, everything inside of me
Just wanted to fit in (oh, oh, oh)
I was never one for pretenders, and everything I tried to be
Just wouldn′t settle in (oh, oh, oh)

If I told you what I was, would you turn your back on me?
And if I seemed dangerous, would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because everything I touch isn't dark enough
That 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)
I never said that I want this, this burden came to me
And it's made its home inside (oh, oh, oh)

If I told you what I was, would you turn your back on me?
And if I seemed dangerous, would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because everything I touch isn′t dark enough
That 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
