I Became the Monster Video (MV)

A boy with a tender heart
A little Mommy's boy
I love to draw Mom pictures
I know they brought her joy
I saw my Daddy punch my Mommy
Real hard in her mouth
And her lip split wide open
And her front tooth fell right out
I swore to God that I would
Never be like my dad
We held on to the little bit
Of sanity that we had

I became the Monster
The thing that I despise
Isn't it a cruel fate
That I made the whole world cry
I became the Monster
Or the Monster became me
Father like son isn't
That the way it's suppose to be

Growing up with violence
Wont do my heart no good
I best do everything that
My Dad says I should
Now my Mom hits me quite often
I know shes not the Mom that she was
A broken heart has problems
Showing you any love
I shield my little brother
From my parents wrath
I'll take the blame
I'll take the whacks
From the barbers strap

I became the Monster
The thing that I despise
Isn't it a cruel fate
That I made the whole world cry
I became the Monster
Or the Monster became me
Father like son isn't
That the way it's suppose to be

You can only beat somebody
Down for so long
They'll either roll over and die
Or rise up and bite someone

I'm a saber rattling, Tasmanian devil, teenage boy
I don't mean to be so hurtful
I'm a natural killjoy
A prophet of doom
I seethed and I fumed
Incensed and I just snapped
I think I hurt some people
It all went down so fast
The pain I've caused is the kind of pain
That you can't take back
Flowers and I'm sorry
Can't bring nobody back

I became the Monster
The thing that I despise
Isn't it a cruel fate
That I made the whole world cry
I became the Monster
Or the Monster became me
Father like son isn't
That the way it's suppose to be
Can you see a Monster in me

I became the Monster
The thing that I despise
Isn't it a cruel fate
That I made the whole world cry
I became the Monster
Or the Monster became me
Father like son isn't
That the way it's suppose to be
