They Know I Am a Monster

It's like looking in a mirror
seeing their faces
fear and distrust
unsolved cases

they know what I did
they know everything
they know why I hid
they know every sin

I know they're afraid
when they see my face.

They know,
they know the truth.

I am monster!
I have lied,
about the pain I caused,
about the crime.

I am a monster!
It is true,
The face you see
is not the face you knew.

I am a monster!
I hurt my friends,
I hurt the world
because I hated to pretend

That I was happy!
to be alive,
to be judged for all
that I have ever tried.

They know who I am,
they know I am crazy,
they know I'm dangerous,
and so they went and left me.

They know what I am,
they know I'll never change.
They know why I'm here,
they know I can't be saved.
