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
Patience’s only gets you so far Blood will get you further Pain will only make your heart hard, tossed in fury’s weather Innocence is beautiful to see Won’t you box it up for me? For me
Oh, give me strength and give me peace Does any body out there want to you hear me?
It’s just another downpour, don’t let it get the best of you It’s only up from the floor, light everything inside of you Don’t burn out, don’t burn out on me Don’t burn out, don’t burn out on me
Sadness is my enemy I fear time will age him gently Walking by my side for all these years Seems that we’ve grown friendly Happiness is beautiful to see Won’t you box it up for me? For me
Oh, give me strength and give me peace Does any body out there want to you hear me?
It’s just another downpour, don’t let it get the best of you It’s only up from the floor, light everything inside of you
