What kind of monster have I let myself become?
In the light of day I lead a normal life, but when it becomes night, I become some one else
I have killed an immense unbelievable sum
The other one, I have no memory of this someone else.

From what I know I have a sadistic taste for men
Even though I am married and a well respected gent
After my sexual acts, I get so enraged with myself, I kill to totally wipe it away, and maybe I won't do this again
To my knowledge so many to hell I have sent.

I dispose of the bodies under my house
These two people live in one body, a struggle always within my mind
I never meant to become an awful insane louse
I try to be careful, so me they will never find.

In my normal life, I even host parties as a happy clown
But listen to what I say, for your own good stay away from me
Go with me, my son, and your body will never be found
I will try and make sure me they will never find.

A perfectionist I am, so I use a crawl space to hide my awful secret
All memories of what I do remain kind of hazy
But men, don't fall prey to me, because I don't hesitate to kill, not one little bit
So watch out, all men, don't cross the path of John Wayne Gacy.

This is very dark.

You might try to remove this inversion though:

"I try to be careful, so me they will never find."

It sounds a little like Yoda from Star Wars.

How about:

"I try to be careful, so they will never find me."


and also this one:

"To my knowledge so many to hell I have sent."

becomes:

"To my knowledge I have sent so many to hell."

Incidentally how do you know they went to hell?

Just asking.
