From the recording Monster
“Monster” is a modern hard rock anthem about confronting manipulation, misinformation, and the people who thrive on control and deception. Driven by heavy guitars, explosive dynamics, and an anthemic chorus, the song transforms frustration into resilience, culminating in the repeated declaration, “I’m alive.”
Lyrics
Verse 1:
You, stopped making sense about an hour ago - I want my hour back
You and your intentions are useless - where are the facts?
Now we got Toxic positivity - more and more complexity - stop the insanity
Can you just tell me what you want from me - who do you want me to be - Let’s keep it easy
Pre Chorus:
And the beast slowly creeps into view
But will you ever realize it’s you?
Chorus:
You’re a monster
How is it you sleep at night
You won’t take me alive
You’re a monster
You feed off of flesh, bone and lies
But I will never die …
I’m alive / I’m alive / I’m alive
Verse 2:
Tell me - How did you get here - and from where did you come?
Can’t you see the damage done
I will expose you for all that you are -
I wont be devoured - no, I won’t be devoured
Pre-Chorus:
Your the beast that awaits in the dark
Ready to feed on the heart
Chorus:
You’re a monster
How is it you sleep at night
You won’t take me alive
You’re a monster
You feed off of flesh, bone and lies
But I will never die …
I’m alive / I’m alive / I’m alive
Bridge:
Shut up - and let me speak
You got - nothing for me
We had built greatness here
Then you came around
scorching our creation to the ground
-musical break-
I don’t care what you say, all you speak are just lies anyway …
I feel so alive
Chorus:
You’re a monster
How is it you sleep at night
You won’t take me alive
You’re a monster
You feed off of flesh, bone and lies
But I will never die …
You’re a monster
How is it you sleep at night
You won’t take me alive
You’re a monster
You feed off of flesh, bone and lies
But I will never die …
I’m alive / I’m alive / I’m alive
