Good died youngWicked got the throneStopped fighting what I am, now the dark feel like homeWickedAnd I sleep just fineMade peace with the monster, now the monster keep timeWickedQuit apologizing for the teeth that I was bornStopped trimming down the shadow just to make you less forlornQuit praying for a better halfLooked the devil in the face and split the difference, took the pathYou can't scare a thing that chose the nightI'm not afraid of the dark, I'm the reason it don't need a lightSpent too long pretending that the soft was who I amThen I let the wolf out grinning and it never gave a damnWickedAnd I sleep just fineMade peace with the monster, now the monster keep timeWickedThey want a villain they can pity, want a monster they can fixI'm the kind that likes the basement, I'm the kind that learned the tricksNot evil for the evil, just done playing it politeThe meek inherit nothing but the leftovers of spiteSo I took my crown of bramble and I wore it like a grinAnd the peace I never found in good, I found it in the sinWickedAnd I sleep just fineMade peace with the monster, now the monster keep timeWickedYou spend your whole life running from the shadow on the wallThen you turn and really see it and it isn't there to maulIt's just every part of you that you were told you had to hideThe anger and the hunger and the hardness and the prideI stopped trying to kill it, started letting it run freeTurns out the thing I feared the most was just the rest of meEmbrace it, embrace it, the part you tried to drownThe dark you kept on swallowing is what becomes the crownI'm not the thing that's haunted, I'm the thing that hauntsI stopped running from the monster and I gave it what it wantsNow I move through the midnight like it owes me a debtThe things that used to scare me are the things that I forgetYou can keep your halo polished, you can keep your gentle nameI'll be down here in the shadow where the warmth is just the sameWicked ain't a sentence, wicked's just a coat I choseThe night belongs to anyone who isn't scared of thoseWickedAnd I sleep just fineMade peace with the monster, now the monster keep timeWicked
