[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] It is my understanding that I am a Peculiar case An outlier A creep of sorts And yet It seems that I get to have A peace of mind The type of bliss you spend your whole life wishing for [Verse 2] And I do not know what it is to care Or how it feels The state of love eludes me Though I have come to learn that I don't need To feel as much In order to survive and be [Chorus] So I'll be the monster, I'll be the freak While you're playing for keeps, I'll be winning in my sleep 'Cause I cut the wires, I killed the noise Oh, being the villain was always the choice It's just so much easier. So much easier. [Verse 3] But it seems like a lot of work Being alive When you have the burden of a soul That must be why so many of you are So sick inside So maybe it's a blessing after all [Chorus] So I'll be the monster, I'll be the freak While you're playing for keeps, I'll be winning in my sleep 'Cause I cut the wires, I killed the noise Oh, being the villain was always the choice It's just so much easier. So much easier. [Bridge] It's a simple equation of profit and loss And "caring" is always too high of a cost Why would I volunteer for the pain? Why would I stand in the rain? There's nothing to gain There's nothing to gain... [Chorus] So I'll be the monster, I'll be the freak While you're playing for keeps, I'll be winning in my sleep 'Cause I cut the wires, I killed the noise Oh, being the villain was always the choice It's just so much easier. So much easier. It's just so much easier. So much easier. So much easier. It's much easier.
