Monster Lyrics by Skillet

The Platinum Collection

2009

[Verse 1]
The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged, but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage, and I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls (In the closet, in the halls)
It comes awake, and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed (In my body, in my head)
Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end

[Chorus]
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

[Post-Chorus]
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

[Verse 2]
My secret side I keep, hid under lock and key
I keep it caged, but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out (He'll tear me up, break me down)
Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end

[Chorus]
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster

[Post-Chorus]
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

[Bridge]
It's hiding in the dark, its teeth are razor-sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me (Stop this monster)

[Chorus]
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I'm gonna lose control, it's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster

[Outro]
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
