lyrics

Why should I cut it when I can jerk it?
Because that hurts me just as much
With all my friends I'm so alone
It was me who never learned it right
Unless I'm wrong and they're all wrong
Then being right is just as good
Because I just try to be one of them
Because me is never right

I'm not big but I'm awkward like a giant
I'm not small but I can never seem to reach
I'm a monster
I'm a monster
And no one ever looks like me

I don't care about this world's treasures
I just want to be able to live my life
No one wants to see who I could turn to be
Please just let me sleep through the night
I just want to write
I just want to play
I just don't want to be disturbed
By all the work that I don't want to do
I already know who I want to be

I'm not big but I'm awkward like a giant
I'm not small but I can never seem to reach
I'm a monster
I'm a monster
And no one ever looks like me

I can see over all their and still so easily look down on me
Every feat is easy
And no one will ever sing with you
But still to have sung
It stung
We swung over the top
We came back around the other side
It broke
Wrap up the chain that used to hold us
See the picture that breaks apart
It's a space for the mind to flow
Only I speak like a king
And I'm talking to us for

I'm not big but I'm awkward like a giant
I'm not small but I can never seem to reach
I'm a monster
I'm a monster
And no one ever looks like me
