Monster’s Anthem

I wake up with the ceiling shaking

Another war beneath my skin

Every promise I was breaking

Comes crawling back to pull me in

There’s a siren in my head

I keep feeding something nameless Every time I taste regret

I tried to bury what I became

But the

dirt still knows my name

I feel like a monster

And everyone is reminded that I am When I walk into the

fire

They can see it in the shape of who I am

I feel like a monster

With a heartbeat pounding like a warning sign If you’re looking for

the danger

Look no further—there it is tonight

I’ve got lightning in my knuckles

And a graveyard in my chest

All the angels turned their faces

When they saw me at my worst

Now the walls are getting thinner

And the truth is getting loud

I can hear the whole world whisper

I tried to outrun what I

became

But

the

darkness knows my name

Maybe I was born from the thunder

Maybe I was made by the pain

Maybe every scar I carry

Is a link inside the chain

But I won’t kneel to the mirror

I won’t vanish in the flame If the beast is what they

fear now Then I’ll teach it how to change

I feel like a monster

And everyone is reminded that I am

But I’m more than all the damage

More than every accusation in their hands

I feel like a monster

But the monster’s finally seeing the light

If you’re looking for the danger

You’ll find me standing,

still alive

I feel like a monster Let the whole world know I am

I feel like a monster

But I’m not what they demand I feel like a monster

And I’m learning who I am
