[Intro – Spoken Whisper, Echo FX]
He talks to me when no one will…
Says I was born to break, not bend.
And if I fight the beast again…
It’ll win.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Dark Rap / Low Vocal Delivery]
I look past all the flashing lights
Drive straight through, ignore the warning signs
Hands on the wheel but not in control
Got a ghost in my ear and he’s takin’ a toll
Paint my face so I don’t flinch
Smile wide, hide every inch
Of the cracks runnin’ deep beneath
Where the monster breathes, and he sharpens teeth
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Melodic / Haunting Harmony]
He tells me “bury the bones,”
“Enjoy the feast,”
“Let go of the throne,”
“Wake up the beast.”
And I do…
Every time I lose myself in you.
⸻
[Chorus – Explosive / Rock Vocals]
Calling it quits, but I don’t wanna admit
That I’m, that I’m
Stuck in the cracks and I’m goin’ down fast tonight
I’m borderline, no peace of mind
Can’t rewind, I’ve crossed the line
It could very well be the death of me—
But I still give him my soul.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Aggressive Flow / Screamed Layers]
Two-face call me Harvey
Reflection lookin’ starved and gnarly
Tried to talk to him—he bit back
Said “I want your name, not your past”
Chains heavy, I can’t tell if they’re mine
Can’t tell if I’m me or the beast inside
Glory or surrender—flip the coin
Either way, this soul’s been joined
⸻
[Bridge – Screamed / Trap Metal Breakdown]
WAKE UP THE BEAST—
Bury the bones
Enjoy the feast
TAKE ALL CONTROL
(Yeah!)
NO ONE KNOWS THE PAIN I SEW
BUT HE KNOWS ME, HE RUNS THIS SHOW
⸻
[Final Chorus – Soaring + Screamed Ad-libs]
Calling it quits, but I don’t wanna admit
That I’m, that I’m
Stuck in the cracks and I’m goin’ down fast tonight (wake up the beast!)
I’m borderline, no peace of mind
Can’t rewind, I’ve crossed the line
It could very well be the death of me—
But I still give him my soul (Bury the bones!)
⸻
[Outro – Whispered, Eerie FX]
He lives in me
He feeds on fear
Every choice, I disappear…
Borderline. Beast. Year after year.
