I've been livin' my life in a cage, freedom spits in my face   It was such a disgrace and I was lonely   And feelin' empty, desperate      I had my head in a noose, I had nothing to loose   Had enough of abuse and now, I?m dangerous   Hateful, contagious, it haunts us      I?m angry, I?m ragin', I?m breakin' through the pain      The monster is loose and now, you know the truth   Tell me can you feel it as you hit the wall   The monster is loose and now, you have to choose   And prove that you can take it to the top before you fall      I've walked a slippery road, felt a twitch in my soul   Through the wind and the cold with no protection   Just one direction, destruction      I've paid for all my mistakes, takin' all I can take   'Til I?m ready to break, I?m feeling vicious   And so, outrageous, it breaks us      I?m bleedin', still breathin', I?m tearin' through these chains      The monster is loose and now, you know the truth   Tell me can you feel it as you hit the wall   The monster is loose and now, you have to choose   And prove that you can take it to the top and never fall      I've lived a thousand years in darkness   Banished all alone   Inside my mind with just my madness   Behind these walls of stone      I was falling apart at the seams   Holding my breath just to breathe   Tasted the sting of my tears      I was wakin' up stuck in a dream   Ran out of air, couldn't scream   Wasted away by my fears      The monster is loose and now, you know the truth   Tell me can you feel it as you hit the wall   The monster is loose and now, you have to choose   And prove that you can take it to the top and never fall      The monster is loose, you've lost your last excuse   Now, show me that you got it even when you crawl   The monster is loose, this game is win or loose   Sometimes you gotta do it and show the world you want it all      Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
