Verse 1 You hide in the dark like it loves you back Preyin’ on the weak, wearin’ lies like facts Hands that should’ve guarded learned to break Now every breath you take is a debt you make I don’t scream I don’t warn I don’t need applause I just show up When the rules don’t work And the law gets lost ⸻ Pre-Chorus You should’ve prayed harder You should’ve stayed clean You mistook silence For never bein’ seen ⸻ Chorus They call me a monster — Good, I won’t disagree You made me when you crossed that line And woke what lives in me I don’t swing wild I may lose control but i'll end things That feed on souls Call me a monster If that’s what it takes To make sure monsters Don’t walk away ⸻ Verse 2 You laugh behind doors, think no one knows Countin’ secrets like trophies you stole But the earth remembers what men forget And rot don’t vanish — it just collects You ain’t a man You’re a mold in the walls And I’m the fire That fixes it all ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 Every excuse Every disguise Dies real fast When it meets my eyes ⸻ Chorus They call me a monster — Good, I won’t disagree You made me when you crossed that line And woke what lives in me I don’t hunt the innocent I hunt the lie I’m the shadow Predators can’t outrun ⸻ Verse 3 I don’t drink it away I don’t pray it gone I carry names Like loaded guns I’ve seen what fear does That look in the eyes, lost hope How the mighty fold When the truth gets cold You thought strength meant takin’ Thought power was pain But real power’s standin’ When there’s nothin’ to gain ⸻ Verse 4 There’s a knock in the night That ain’t hope, ain’t fate It’s the sum of your choices Comin’ home real late No crowd No mercy No flag to wave Just the weight of the harm You thought you escaped You don’t get remembered You don’t get a name You get silence And the sound of shame ⸻ Bridge (Strip it down — almost spoken) No chains No speeches No crowd to see Just the sound of your soul Leavin’ quietly You don’t fall proud You don’t fight clean You fade out Like you never been ⸻ Final Chorus (Bigger / Slower / Heavier) They’ll say I’m evil Say I crossed a line But sleep comes easy On nights like mine I don’t chase chaos I don’t crave pain I’m the reason Predators feel afraid Call me a monster I’ll wear it proud Some things only end When some monsters come out ⸻ Outro (Optional — whispered or spoken) You should’ve stayed human.
