Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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)

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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)

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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
