[Intro - low/whispered voice, scream at the final word at end of intro]
Smoke on the rise, blood in the air
Taste, smell, touch, sight
All these Memories fucking BITE!
[Verse 1, slow inhale leading to heavy start]
I've been quiet for so long, these emotions swelling, this darkness dwelling inside me.
Light's dimming, control slipping, stay away
"You're fine, you need to chill, take another pill, so over dramatic"
[Pre-Chorus]
Think they Know me,
Think they Love me,
Think they Own me,
SHUT UP!
[Chorus, slow melody at start, builds tempo to heavy finish]
Hands torn, Heart heavy, Spirit worn
Eyes watching, All of them Judging,
I can't see, I've built all these Walls surrounding me
Suffocating, Life Fading (Fading Fast!), Born to Die (Why!?), Afraid to Live! Save me from the Monster!
SAVE MY BROKEN SOUL!
[Verse 2]
Blood's pumping, Body's Shaking, Spirit's Quaking
The Monster's Raging out, I just wanna be me...
Whispers ringing out, "Let it go, lose control, you'll feel better once your hands stain red,
Now be a good boy and drop fucking dead!"
(NO!)
[Bridge, Rap metal, Fast tempo ending with long drawn out agonized scream]
I won't listen, I won't bend the knee, done playing nice, you're all dead to me. Saying you know what's best while you dance on my grave,
I'm done holding back, I'm cutting it loose, see how you feel when you deal with the BEAST! (MONSTER!)
[Chorus]
Hands torn, Heart heavy, Spirit worn
Eyes watching, All of them Judging,
I can't see, I've built all these Walls surrounding me
Suffocating, Life Fading (Fading Fast!), Born to Die (Why!?), Afraid to Live! Save me from the Monster!
SAVE MY BROKEN SOUL!
[Guitar Solo]
[Climax, soft melodic start, heavy drop part way through]
It's too late, the cage is broken, ripped and torn asunder, never be whole again, the Shades are pulling me under
You pushed and you pulled, and you put me on the ground...
Now let's see how you do when no one can hear you make a sound...
(You Reap What you Sow!)
[Outro - Calm, ends with haunting laugh]
I used to be scared of what I am...
Now I'm just scared of what I'll do
Done fighting these Demons in my head...
Made a Deal with them Instead!
