the beast

曲:per se

詞:Stephen Mok @ 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 (Take a look inside)

The stranger that they yell to stay away (preciously create)

The one they hide their children from

A blemish in the white(beauty from the blight)

ha..

The song that no one ever wants to play (song that I would sing)

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 (song that I would sing)

They say that I’m the villain but

Who gets to decide (one of a kind)

I’m the beast within your eyes

See that flower in the vase

It patiently awaits

For another like me to arrive
