Monster

Skillet · Awake And Remixed EP [2011]

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



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, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster



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



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, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster



Its 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 its just a dream

Or maybe its inside of me

Stop this monster



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've gotta lose control

Here's something, let it go

I must confess that I feel like a monster



I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster
