[INTRO — dark / distant] monster... monster... they call me a monster... a monster... [VERSE 1] black clouds hanging over my head, every word they said still echoes. cold nights sleeping with my regret, trying to outrun all my shadows. every scar became a story, every loss became a chain. i kept carrying the weight, now it's running through my veins. i was never what they wanted, never fit inside their frame. so they pointed fingers at me, put a curse upon my name. [PRE-CHORUS] i hear them whisper when i walk by, like they've already made up their minds. they don't know what's behind these eyes, they only see the dark outside. [CHORUS] they call me a MONSTER, a MONSTER, every time i walk inside. a MONSTER, a MONSTER, like there's nowhere left to hide. if i'm the villain in their story, why am i the one who cried? they call me a MONSTER, a MONSTER, so i'll wear the crown tonight. [VERSE 2] moonlight shines across the pavement, while i'm dancing with my ghosts. all the people who betrayed me, say they knew me the most. but they never saw the battles, never felt the storms within. they just watched me lose myself, and blamed me for the wind. now my heart is turning colder, like the winter in my chest. i've been carrying this fire, while pretending i can rest. [PRE-CHORUS] i hear them whisper when i walk by, like they've already made up their minds. they don't know what's behind these eyes, they only see the dark outside. [CHORUS] they call me a MONSTER, a MONSTER, every time i walk inside. a MONSTER, a MONSTER, like there's nowhere left to hide. if i'm the villain in their story, why am i the one who cried? they call me a MONSTER, a MONSTER, so i'll wear the crown tonight. [BRIDGE — cinematic] monster... monster... maybe i was made this way. monster... monster... after all the pain they gave. if the world already fears me, if the world has closed its eyes, then i'll stand above the ashes, and survive another night. [FINAL CHORUS — biggest] they call me a MONSTER, a MONSTER, every time i walk inside. a MONSTER, a MONSTER, like there's nowhere left to hide. if i'm the villain in their story, why am i the one who cried? they call me a MONSTER, a MONSTER, so i'll wear the crown tonight. they call me a MONSTER, a MONSTER, but i'm still alive inside. [OUTRO] monster... a monster... they call me a monster... a monster...
