I touched the sky just for a moment
I hoped I could be free
And after all this time, and all the torment
I dreamed it still could be
But burned by the fire
The violence and fear
All my hopes turned to nightmares
Never meant to be
Dancing in the darkness
Dying for a dream
Do I have to be the monster
That's staring back at me?
I saw the light just for a moment
I stepped into the sun
But I was scorned and damned
They left me broken
To hide away and run
But burned by the fire
I hear the shadows call
Just a haunting reminder
Of solitude and scars
Dancing in the darkness
Dying for a dream
And I don't want to be the monster
Reflected back at me
A lonely song inside the silence
Searching for the stars
But maybe I'm an antihero
A broken vagabond
And I can try to rise again
Through all the sorrow, fear, and pain
And I can try to save what's lost
No matter what the cost
Diving in the darkness
I try to revive this dream
And though I know I'm still the monster
I own my destiny
I hear an echo in the silence
A star within my reach
And maybe I'm an antihero
But this won't be the end for me
