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. If this problem lies in me.
[Chorus:] 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. If this problem lies in me.
[Chorus: 2x] 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.
