Lyrics: The Monster Is Loose

(Desmond Child/Nikki Sixx/John '5' Lowery)

I've been living my life in a cage
Freedom spits in my face
It was such a disgrace
And I was lonely
And feeling empty
Desperate

I had my head in a noose
I had nothing to loose
Had enough of abuse
And now I'm dangerous
Hateful, contagious
It haunts us

I'm angry (I'm angry)
I'm raging (I'm raging)
I'm breaking through the pain

The monster's loose
And now you know the truth
Tell me can you feel it
As you hit the wall

The monsters loose
And now you have to choose
And prove you can take it
To the top before you fall

I've walked a slippery road
Felt a twitch in my soul
Through the wind and the cold
With no protection
Just one direction
Destruction

I've paid for all my mistakes
Taking all I can take
Until I'm ready to break
I'm feeling vicious
And so outrageous
It breaks us

I'm leaving
Still breathing
I'm tearing through these chains

The monster's loose
And as you know the truth
Tell me can you feel it
As you hit the wall

The monster's loose
And now you have to choose
And prove you can take it
To the top and never fall

[Musical interlude]

I've lived a thousand years in darkness
Banished all alone
Inside my mind with just my madness
Behind these walls of stone

I was falling apart at the seams
Holding my breath just to breathe
I tasted the sting of my tears

[Musical interlude]

I was waking up stuck in a dream
Ran out of air, couldn't screamed
Wasted away by my fears

OOOOOOO

[Musical interlude]

The monster's loose
And now you know the truth
Tell me can you feel it
As you hit the wall

The monster's loose
And now you have to choose
And prove that you can take it
To the top and never fall

The monster's loose
You've lost your last excuse
Now show me that you got it
Even when you fall

The monster's loose
This game is win or loose
Sometimes you gotta' do it
And show the world you want it all

Yeahhhhhhaw
Yeahhhhhhaw
Yeahhhhhhaw
Yeahhhhhhaw

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhaw
