Alien Quote by Thousand Foot Krutch
““I'm an alien 'cause I'm not of this world. I have a name but I've been changed and now I can't stay the same. And I'm a loser if that means I've been lost before... I'm a monster if that means I'm misunderstood. 'Cause it's alive and I can't hide it. The energy is rising. And I'm a traitor if that means I've turned on myself. I can't deny it, it's like a riot. I can't keep it quiet.””
