I Am A Monster

Time is dead and gone
Show must go on
Its time for our act
They all scream at me

They cannot see
This curtain hides me
An amazing gift
So quick and swift

You were amazing
By myself I can't
They start to chant
Why are you not here?

Grinning at me
I lay on my knees
They want to hear me
Why can't 'he' see?

I want to see you
I need to see you
I have to see you
What happened to you?

We get up on stage
They jump to enrage
Why are you not here?
Why is 'he' so near?

'He' wants me to sing
I just can not bring-
I say 'he's' not you
What else can I do?

Singing its silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant
It lets out a plea

Why did she have to leave it all alone?
Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us
It despises us

Lying so useless, we start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"

I lay all alone
I should have known you would have left me
'He' smiles at me
I can not see

Why 'he's' in your place
They can't tell me why you said good-bye
Right before our act
Those two young lions

Were always fun Why did they leave, too?
Roaring at me
I lay on my knees

What is happening?
I can hear you sing
They will not obey
They've been lead astray

Will I still see you?
I have to see you
I panic and flee
They both pounce on me

I fell to the ground
I can't hear a sound
I look up and see
You are not with me

Am I all alone?
Where could you have gone?

Singing its silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant
It lets out a plea

Why did she have to leave it all alone?
Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us
It despises us

Lying so useless, We start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"

Ahh...

Singing its silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant
It lets out a plea

Why did she have to leave it all alone?
Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us
It despises us

Lying so useless, we start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"
Singing my silent song of misery
This monster lies trapped in my own Nightmare

'He' is a tyrant
I let out a plea
Why did you have to leave me all alone?
Bound to sing for them, a worthless monster

I never see them
I despise them so
Lying so useless, they start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"
