Call me a monster, I can't be justified.
Take me down to the forest, and leave me there to die.
Tie my hands behind my back, and make me walk the line.
Everything it sickens me, you strain to force a smile…
Reach into my body, and pull on out my soul.
All i want is a bottle, my body's far too cold…
And I don't know these people, the stares they give me hurt…
And so I try escaping, but I fall right in the dirt.
These floors are creaking now, my knees are getting weak.
And I can't find the right words, to the answers that I seek…
And so my heart keeps bleeding, as I write my tale down...
I won't let them catch me, bury me 'to the ground.
Call me a monster, I can't be justified.
Take me down to the forest, and leave me there to die.
Tie my hands behind my back, and make me walk the line.
Everything it sickens me, you strain to force a smile…
Roaches scatter before me, scared of the chains around my feet.
So I hang my head below my shoulders, let me go, I admit defeat,
And he hears the bang so he goes fair well to his last breath...
And that's the last of this monster now, cause the man you knew fell to his death.
