ever since i could remember
everything inside of me
just wanted to fit in oh oh oh
i was never one for pretenders
everything i tried to be
just wouldn’t settle in oh oh oh
pre
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
pre
