all the things they've heard
 all my deeds, all the blood, all the drugs

 what i did to those pretty little girls
 pieces that were missing in the puzzle i created

 children in the streets
 lying decapitated
 inviscerated, with their tongues cut out

 "what demon could do this?"
 people like to ask
 i read the tabloids
 i like to laugh

 i am a monster from their dreams
 i am what they'd like to be

 i can get away with this
 i can be free
 i can walk down your street
 and you wouldn't even notice me

 i am the malcontent
 that slips through the cracks
 i am the nightmare
 that always comes back

 i can't be caught
 i am above the law
 the blood of millions rampant in my mind
 no reparation from this crime

 i am a criminal only in thought
 i'll plunge this knife into your heart
 trust in you was a lost cause
 faith in god was a lost cause

 a darkened corridor slick with the bloodshed
 a hand that is mine, spattered in red
 trust in this was a lost cause
 faith in this was a lost cause

 screams that are muffled
 drowned out, drowned out
 out of breath

 screams that are muffled
 drowned out, drowned out
 out of breath

 run, run, you can't hide
 hide, hide, but you'll die
 run, run, you can't hide
 run, run, you can't hide

 i am the monster from your dreams
 i am what you'd like to be

 i am the malcontent
 that slips through the cracks
 i am the nightmare that always comes back

 i cannot be caught
 i am above the law
 i cannot be caught
 i am above the law

 no law, not gods, no faith
 humanity is not what i suffer from
 humanity is not what i suffer from
