the beast - per se
See that hero on the stage
You know it isn't me
Hidden in the dark is where I lie
See that lover so adored
I'm quite the opposite
That's not to say that I don't dream of what it's like
See the children full of cheer
I wasn't one of them
Growing up I never figured why
Still I'll be searching still I'll be searching
For one who feels the same
But I don't know if there will ever be the day
I'm the monster from the story books of age
The stranger that they yell to stay away
The one they hide their children from
A blemish in the white ha
The song that no one ever wants to play
They say that I'm the villain but
I just don't know why
I'm the beast within your eyes
See that daughter being raised
I wish it wasn't me
Gentle kind expected to behave
Still I'll be searching still I'll be searching
For one who feels the same
That's when I looked outside
The walls and heard you sing
I'm the monster from the story books of age
The stranger that they yell to stay away
The one they hide their children from
A blemish in the white ha
The song that no one ever wants to play
They say that I'm the villain but
I just don't know why
I'm the beast within your eyes
I'm the monster from the story books of age
But to somebody else we're just the same
The one to hide the children from
The fear inside their minds ha
The song that no one ever wants to play
They say that I'm the villain but
Who gets to decide
I'm the beast within your eyes
See that flower in the vase
It patiently awaits
For another like me to arrive
