​the beast Lyrics by per se

character / character

2021

[Verse 1: Stephen]
See that hero on the stage
You know it isn’t me
Hidden in the dark is where I lie
See that lover so adored
I’m quite the opposite
That’s not to say that I don’t dream of what it’s like

[Verse 2: Stephen]
See the children full of cheer
I wasn’t one of them
Growing up I never figured why
Still I’ll be searching, still I’ll be searching
For one who feels the same
But I don’t know if there will ever be the day

[Chorus: Stephen]
I’m the monster from the storybooks of age
The stranger that they yell to stay away
The one they hide their children from
A blemish in the white, ha
The song that no one ever wants to play
They say that I’m the villain but
I just don’t know why
I’m the beast within your eyes

[Verse 3: Sandy, per se]
See that daughter being raised
I wish it wasn’t me
Gentle, kind, expected to behave
Still I’ll be searching, still I’ll be searching
For one who feels the same
That’s when I looked outside the walls and heard you sing

[Chorus: Stephen, Sandy, per se]
I’m the monster from the storybooks of age
(Take a look inside)
The stranger that they yell to stay away
(Preciously create)
The one they hide their children from
A blemish in the white
(Beauty from the blight) Ha
The song that no one ever wants to play
(Song that I would sing)
They say that I’m the villain but
I just don’t know why
I’m the beast within your eyes

[Chorus: Stephen, Sandy]
I’m the monster from the storybooks of age
But to somebody else we’re just the same
The one to hide the children from
The fear inside their minds, ha
The song that no one ever wants to play
(Song that I would sing)
They say that I’m the villain but
Who gets to decide (One of a kind)
I’m the beast within your eyes

[Outro: Stephen]
See that flower in the vase
It patiently awaits
For another like me to arrive
