Popular Monster by Falling In Reverse

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I wake up every morning with my head up in a daze
I'm not sure if I should say this, fuck, I'll say it anyway
Everybody tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase
I don't know if it's a phase, I just wanna feel okay, yeah
I battle with depression, but the question still remains
Is this post-traumatic stressing or am I suppressing rage?
And my doctor tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase
Yeah, it's not a fucking phase, I just wanna feel okay, okay
Yeah, I struggle with this bullshit every day
And it's probably 'cause my demons simultaneously rage
And it obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm about to break down, searching for a way out
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer, I'm a popular, popular monster
I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
I'm a popular, popular monster
[Verse 2]
I think I'm going nowhere like a rat trapped in a maze
Every wall that I knocked down is just a wall that I replace
I'm in a race against myself, I try to keep a steady pace
How the fuck will I escape if I never close my case?
Oh my God, I keep on stressing, every second that I waste
Is another second sooner to a blessing I won't take
But my therapist will tell me that I'm going through a stage
Yeah, it's not a fucking stage, I just wanna feel okay, okay
Motherfucker, now you got my attention
I need to change a couple things 'cause something is missing
And what if I were to lie? Tell you everything is fine
Every single fucking day I get closer to the grave, I am terrified
I fell asleep at the wheel again
Crashed my car just to feel again
It obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm about to break down, searching for a way out
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer, I'm a popular, popular monster
I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
I'm a popular, popular fucking monster
[Breakdown]
Yeah, here we go again, motherfucker, oh
We're sick and tired of wondering
Praying to a god that you don't believe
We're searching for the truth in the lost and found
So the question I ask is, oh, where the fuck is your god now?
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm about to break down, searching for a way out
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer, I'm a popular, popular monster
I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
I'm a popular, popular monster
[Outro]
I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer, I'm a popular, popular monster.


This song literally brought me to tears of joy when I actually sat down and listened to it for the first time.  Everything I had been feeling was right there in the words of Ronnie Radke.  I can honestly say this song changed me.  Ronnie Radke you are an amazing artist and an amazing writer.  You words hit home with so many people right to the core of our beings.  This is by far one of the best songs I have heard in a long time.
