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
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 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
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
