Not long ago
Everybody treated me so cold
But I was not a monster, no
So alone
The only one I thought that I could trust
Thought I was a monster, so
That's when I began to embrace
The monster

Used to feel worthless
I used to feel nervous
Now its given me purpose
It sleeps on the surface

See it barricade me deep inside of its fortress
Ensue rigor mortis
The hatred it courses
Together remorseless
We'll never lose focus
No one can oppose us
They will call me a monster
'Cause they know that it's hopeless

(You're the only)
(You're the only one)
(You're the only)
(You're the only one)

Demons run within my veins
Promise to keep me safe
No one to cause me pain
Call me a monster
I will send you to your grave
The choice for you I've made
No blood is left to save
Call me a monster

Crying in dark, nothing but pain
As my company breaking my heart
I'm tearing apart
There's only so much I can take
The hate, I need it to stop
'Cause I am their mark
They call me the monster
Maybe I am, I think of their slaughter
Maybe the dam of the hate that I fostered
Broke and now I am claiming the moniker woke

You'll wallow and choke
'Cause I control the sands of time
Your life in smoke, my fire grows
And you'll begin to fear that you will die alone
I'll pierce your heart the way that mine was poked
The sand and iron spoke to die by me
Your life could not have ended on a higher note

It didn't have to be this way, no
It's the story of a boy with no hope
It's the story of a boy who was broken
And the story of a monster awoken

Demons run within my veins
Promise to keep me safe
No one to cause me pain
Call me a monster
I will send you to your grave
The choice for you I've made
No blood is left to save
Call me a monster

Call me a monster
Call me a monster

Not long ago
Everybody treated me so cold
But I was not a monster, no
So alone
The only one I thought that I could trust
Thought I was a monster, so
That's when I began to embrace
The monster
