M IS FOR

[INTRO — FEMALE AND MALE SECTIONS] [FEMALE LEAD] Everybody warns you not to become a monster. [MALE FEATURE] Nobody asks what you had to survive to become one. (become one, become one, become one) [VERSE 1 — FEMALE AND MALE SECTIONS] [FEMALE LEAD RAP] Forged from frozen bones So I built a diamond spine (BRR) Expect me to be cold? Yeah—okay, okay—that’s fine (Yuh) It’s not far from the truth My faith’s a whiteout, but I climb blind Wait, this feels like Déjà Vu Run it back, replay that line [MALE FEATURE] “My faith’s a whiteout, but I climb blind” (Climb blind, climb blind, climb blind) [MALE FEATURE RAP] I learned young, mercy comes with a price Had to grow teeth just to make it through the night They saw the fangs, never asked who made me bite Now they call me the monster— Yeah, yeah, they might be right. (might be right, might be right, might be right) [MALE SCREAM] AHHHHHHHHH [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE AND MALE SECTIONS] [FEMALE LEAD — melodic, eerie] You only see the creature Never what it cost You only fear the shadow Never what it lost [MALE FEATURE — low melodic response] If surviving made us wicked Tell me who’s to blame [BOTH] You can call us monsters— [PAUSE] But you made us this way. (GRRR) [CHORUS] M is for monster, like the ones that stand before you M is for mercy, opposite of what we’ll show you M is for machine, you infected our C.P.U.s M is for matter—as in, do we matter too? Or are we beasts to you? [EDM TRAP DROP] You created this You wanted this You asked for this Now deal with it [FEMALE LEAD RAP] I got monsters under the bed I got monsters in the closet That’s a king-size and a walk-in Yet you still make us your target? I got monsters in my head And you’re telling me to pause them Like my life is just a game to you And even if I could, I wouldn’t stop them (stop them, stop them, stop them) [MALE FEATURE RAP] You built the maze, then blamed me when I learned the route Put a target on my back, then asked what rage was about You made survival feel like levels I was forced to clear Now I know every boss by name, I don’t run from fear You called me damaged when I finally learned the code Tried to patch me up, but I just broke the overload If this whole life is a game and I’m the one you choose Then don’t act shocked when I become the thing you lose (lose, lose, lose) [MALE SCREAM] AHHHHHHHHH [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE AND MALE SECTIONS] [FEMALE LEAD — melodic, eerie] You only see the creature Never what it cost You only fear the shadow Never what it lost [MALE FEATURE — low melodic response] If surviving made us wicked Tell me who’s to blame [BOTH] You can call us monsters— [PAUSE] But you made us this way. (GRRR) [CHORUS] M is for monster, like the ones that stand before you M is for mercy, opposite of what we’ll show you M is for machine, you infected our C.P.U.s M is for matter—as in, do we matter too? Or are we beasts to you? [EDM TRAP DROP] You created this You wanted this You asked for this Now deal with it [BRIDGE — FEMALE AND MALE SECTIONS] [FEMALE LEAD] If I’m the monster, say it loud. [MALE FEATURE] If I’m the problem, bring the crowd. [FEMALE LEAD] You gave me fear, I gave it teeth. [MALE FEATURE] You buried rage, I made it breathe. [FEMALE LEAD] You wanted silence— [MALE FEATURE] We became the sound. [FEMALE LEAD] You wanted weakness— [MALE FEATURE] Look at us now. [FEMALE LEAD] If surviving made us beasts— [MALE FEATURE] Then let the whole cage shake. [BOTH] YOU MADE THE MONSTERS. [PAUSE] [BOTH — LOW / DEADLY] Now watch them wake. [BOTH SCREAM] AHHHHHHHHHH [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE AND MALE SECTIONS] [FEMALE LEAD — melodic, eerie] You only see the creature Never what it cost You only fear the shadow Never what it lost [MALE FEATURE — low melodic response] If surviving made us wicked Tell me who’s to blame [BOTH] You can call us monsters— [PAUSE] But you made us this way.
