The secret side of me I never let you see I keep it caged…
“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 And 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”
