They never tell you that pleasure is pain
That death conquers life and life is a game
I found out the hard way that time never stops
Who knew that my sanity was such a high cost
I see how they stare and stay at arm’s length
They thing I’m a monster enveloped in strength
But what they don’t notice, the thing they don’t see
I’m sad and pathetic, I’ll never be free
So don’t underestimate me
I could be a savior, an angel
I could be a traitor, a killer
I’m dangerous, A thief in the night
I steal what you prize most, Your smile and your life
Don’t trust me
Cause I’m dangerous
I don’t want to cripple, I don’t want to kill
I just want to hold you, but time won’t stand still
You’d think that a monster would need someone else
A kind of companion as cruel as itself
I know he’s all wrong and I don’t want to care
But he makes so much sense and he’s always been there
I guess it just fits that he’s a poisonous seed
Deep in my heart I can see he’s like me
Don’t underestimate me
I could be a savior, an angel
I could be a traitor, a killer
I’m dangerous, A thief in the night
I steal what you prize most, Your smile and your life
Don’t trust me
Cause I’m dangerous
Loneliness is an old friend
He creeps up still and silent
He sits by your side, he squeezes you tight
But deep down in side you know he’s not right
Who I am is a monster
He says that I could have power
He says I can rule, he says I can kill
But deep down inside I know I never will
