Monster (Remix)
[eL2Bee / Verse 1]
Ever since I was little I've been on a mission
To become a beast, treat every song like a victim.
Hit a beat like a kick drum, and chicks think I'm
So cool and so hot, almost like a contradiction.
I'm back with a chip on my shoulder, so keep your distance,
Thinking it's fun and games until I pull out the big guns.
We are not the same, you better stick to the script son,
I've begun to change, so I suggest that you just RUN.
Clear the vicinity or leave in critical condition,
No restrictions, this is Vive la Résistance,
This is me sticking up for every kid who got picked on,
Find a bully and it's on, whoopin' their ass to this song,
And thats another victory for us,
Success is within reach and achieving it is a must.
I've become a monster, there's no way to adjust,
I'm just being myself, but being a beast is a plus,
'Cause the feeling is such a rush
When you're seeing nothing but red,
And your adrenalines pumping
And talking it out just aint gonna cut it,
Like nah, I've had enough, now I'm destroying somethin'
Better duck and take cover or get hit with a flying oven 'cause..
[Dan Reynolds / Hook]
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
[Verse 2]
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
[Hook]
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
[eL2Bee / Verse 3]
Put me in a group of people and I always seem to stick out,
Been an outcast, just stopped caring how I fit in now.
And got treated like a boss 'cause of the reputation I have,
I'm kick-ass, betray me and wind up getting attacked,
Make it look like an accident, like you suffered a little mishap,
Like its sheer coincidence that
You just happened to fall on to same exact
Knife that you stabbed me in the back with,
And I could've got more graphic and explicit if I switched to a
Pick-axe, but I figured I'd keep it simple and consider this as
Practice, yes, I guess this is proof that I'm that sick,
'Cause this aint theatrics, I'm bat-shit crazy, a maniac,
It's safe to assume that my rooms padded,
And its cold at night, but I stay warm in this straitjacket,
But the bad news for you is I've escaped and I'm back at it!
[Hook]
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
