(Speech - Pre-Monster) lyrics

"This is also a really great moment because less than a year ago, I wanted to give up completely - not just on music, just give up. it was a time of loss, confusion, second-guessing, third-guessing literally everything in my life.

Questioning myself - my heart, my sanity. It was a time when everybody turned their backs on me because it wasn't cool - to be my friend anymore, or because I wasn't helping their careers. it was when people were telling me I was a terrible writer, a terrible artist, a terrible singer, and a terrible person, and it was just a shame that nobody told me to give up yet, so-

It was a time of isolation, a time where was I made to feel like a Monster"
