Frankenstein's Ghost

(Intro) ("What did you make?") They didn't build me to live.... (Verse 1) Look... at the stitches... look at the seams. Look at the wreckage of all of my dreams. I’m a body of work that the world threw away. A collection of debts that I’m forced to repay. I was born in a lab of my own making... Heart full of holes and a spirit that’s aching. And every time I try to move or to breathe... The ghost of the needle starts tugging my sleeve. You called me a creature. You called me a beast. While you sat at the table and called it a feast. Now I’m looking in mirrors and what do I see? The version of "monster" you forced me to be. (Chorus) I’m not the monster you made in your head! I’m just a man who was left for dead! You see the wreckage, you see the mistake But you never see how much a spirit can take! Stitch me together or tear me apart You’ll never find malice inside of this heart! I’m Frankenstein’s ghost in a world full of stone Just a human who’s tired of being alone! (Verse 2) It wasn’t the bottle. It wasn’t the glass. It was the way... that you’d look when you’d pass. The judgment in silence. The fear in your eyes. The way that you painted me into my lies. The shadows are heavy. The ceiling is low. I’m trapped in a cycle with nowhere to go. You look at the scarring. You look at the track. And you wonder why I’m never coming back? But I’m right here... screaming under the skin... While you’re locking the doors to keep me within. (Bridge 1) I’m not a demon. I’m just out of breath. Trying to outrun a living death. I’m tired of the labels. I’m tired of the shame. I’ll rip out the stitches. I’ll burn every page. I AM MY OWN CREATOR! (Chorus) I’m not the monster you made in your head! I’m just a man who was left for dead! You see the wreckage, you see the mistake But you never see how much a spirit can take! Stitch me together or tear me apart You’ll never find malice inside of this heart! I’m Frankenstein’s ghost in a world full of stone Just a human who’s tired of being alone! (Verse 3) So take back the labels. And take back the shame. I’m finally stepping outside of the frame. The stitches aren't failures... they're maps of the fight. I’m dragging my soul from the depth of the night. You thought I was finished. You thought I was through. But I’m more than the nightmare created by you. I’m standing up straight and I’m breaking the wall. Yeah, I'm the one who decides who I am... And I’m not the monster. I’m just a man. (Bridge 2) STOP... LOOK ME IN THE EYES! I AM NOT... YOUR DISGUISE! You created the monster. You fueled the fire. You fed the addiction. You called me a liar. BUT I’M STILL HUMAN! (Chorus) I’m not the monster you made in your head! I’m just a man who was left for dead! You see the wreckage, you see the mistake But you never see how much a spirit can take! Stitch me together or tear me apart You’ll never find malice inside of this heart! I’m Frankenstein’s ghost in a world full of stone Just a human who’s tired of being alone! (Outro) I'm not your monster. Just a human who’s tired of being alone... Just a human who’s tired of being alone... Just a human who’s tired of being alone...
