Ever since I could remember

Everything inside of me

Just wanted to fit inOh, whoa, oh-oh

I was never one for pretenders

Everything I tried to be

Just wouldn′t settle in

Oh, whoa, 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, whoa, oh-oh

I never said that I want this

This burden came to me

And it's made its home inside

Oh, whoa, 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
