There's a madness I can't fight
And it calls to me at night
Where it whispers of the things I could be

You have nightmares, I have mine
Do yours keep you up at night?
'Cause mine sing me off to sleep

I was a mistake so you cast me off aside
Like that's all I’d ever be, like it's all I'd ever be
But I'm back to take everything that's rightly mine
And we all have you to thank
Yeah, we all have you to thank

So when you next hear my name
Know I'm the monster that you made
That you made, that you, that you made
Know I'm the monster that you made, that you made
Maybe I, maybe I, I like it this way (I'm a monster)

Why be good that doesn't sound as fun
Yeah, I tried it once and then the high was done
But lemme tell you there is something 'bout the dark that really makes me feel alive

It's so addicting, I do all I can
To have that feeling crawling back again
It's like you're falling but you rise, makes you wanna spread your wings and fly

You think you're special, but you're not
You and your ego can go rot
'Cause I'm the only thing you've done right, and that’s sayin' a lot

But don’t let that get to you head
'Cause babe, you’re just as good as dead
I paid the price, but thanks to you this darker side is all mine

Know I'm the monster that you made
That you made, that you, that you made
Know I'm the monster that you made, that you made
Maybe I, maybe I, I like it this way
Know I'm the monster that you made (I'm the monster)
That you made, that you, that you made
Know I'm the monster that you made, that you made
Maybe I, maybe I, I like it this way
