[Verse 1: Archer]

Yeah, surviving the fall

Hard keeping it together when you fighting 'em all

Find a piece of mind hid within these walls

But the Light is Dying and I'm falling off

Wanna make it stop, but it won't stop (won't stop)

Head on a swivel, could make the blood drop (blood drop)

There's always a choice to be made

Don't wanna know what I see from the rooftops, yeah

Engulfed in the flame, know I'm human in the brain, but now it's hard to feel the pain

Part of me going insane, the other part of me the same

Doing what I gotta do to be safe, be a villain just to feel like I'm sane

Come to realize sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

[Chorus: Archer]

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

[Verse 2: Omega Sparx & Archer]

Hard to stay human in the midst of these ruins

Live soft or lift off avoiding pitfalls

While fighting off monsters with ripped jaws

I'm pissed off, maybe I'm the monster and big dawg

I veer off into insanity

Forget this humanity, it's just calamity

There is no man in me, virtue or vanity

I demand you stop handing me hope!

No family or friends

I'm burning within

With permanent sins

I'm changing, I'm turning again

I'm hardcore!

Watch me go parkour!

I lost all my sight, show me the way

Or sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

[Chorus: Archer & Omega Sparx]

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

[Verse 3: Ninethie]

This city ain't the same, streets are filled with pain

They say time heals all wounds, yet the scars remain

The world is volatile, it'll never be the same

But all this heavy lifting, I could have used a Craine

Human, stay moving

Don't want to live in seclusion

Losing, I'm consuming

These demons jumping to conclusion

When I fight

For my life

And I lose the light

Losing the grip on my human side

[Chorus: Archer]

Sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay

Human, human, sometimes you gotta be a monster if you wanna stay
