insanity, just a word used to sum up
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
