I Am The Loch Ness Monster

Bottom feeder
Is that what I've become?
This life in darkness
Brief glimpses of the sun
I was once a mighty beast
Ruler of the land and of the sea
Now hiding here below
When can I come up to breathe?
Is this what they call living?
Here below the surface
Maybe I deserve this
Am I just watching time pass?
So I can die alone here
We've all got our own fears and mine is you
Weary sinner
What have I become?
Secrets with secrets
Living on the run
Is this what they call living?
Here below the surface
Maybe I deserve this
Am I just watching time pass?
So I can die alone here
We've all got our own fears, and mine is you
One step at a time, There's a reason we hide
We're all afraid of the monster inside
If I sink or I swim does it matter at all?
What will they think when they finally see
I'm not everything that they hoped I would be
I'll take my chances, I'm rising to the light
So this is living freely
Breaking through the surface
Knowing there's a purpose
Now I can walk in daylight
Free from all the shadows
We all have our heroes, and mine is you
