Monster

Footsteps echo on an empty street

Full moon grin, can you feel that heat

Cold wind howls through the crooked trees

Whispered sins carried on the breeze

I'm not bad, I'm just misunderstood

Born from the dark, but I'd change if I could

You see my fangs and you run from sight

But I'm lonely here beneath this light

I'm just a monster in the middle of the night

Crawlin' through the silence, hidin' from the light

Don't need your pity, don't need your fright

I'm just a monster, and I'm tryin' to get it right

Cemetery moon with a ghostly hue

Every shadow looks a lot like you

Heart still beats in this borrowed skin

But the hunger keeps pullin' me in

Can't you hear me behind the scream

Once had a soul, now I live in between

Caught in the curse, can't make it right

So I dance alone through this endless night

I'm just a monster in the middle of the night

Crawlin' through the silence, hidin' from the light

Don't need your pity, don't need your fright

I'm just a monster, and I'm tryin' to get it right

You think you're safe when the dawn draws near

But the daylight won't erase your fear

Look a little closer, and you might see

The monster's just a piece of me

I'm just a monster in the middle of the night

Lost in the dark, still chasin' the light

Don't need salvation, don't need your fight

I'm just a monster, and I'm tryin' to get it right
