The Monster Inside

Low choir chants echo through the darkness

Heavy guitars fade in

A slow heartbeat kick begins

I feel it crawling underneath my skin

A storm that never seems to end

Every breath another spark

Every thought ignites the dark

I try to hold it deep inside

But pressure builds until it breaks

Something wakes inside my mind

A force I barely recognize

The world turns red

The noise gets loud

The silence disappears

The monster inside

Breaking the chains of control

A fire in my veins

Burning through my soul

Ripping through the silence

Shattering the night

A storm without mercy

A war I have to fight

I see the damage in its wake

Broken echoes of the past

Every moment that it takes

Leaves another scar that lasts

It feeds on rage and endless noise

A creature born inside my mind

I feel it rising in the dark

A shadow I must leave behind

Choir chants rise

Drums intensify

Everything builds toward chaos

The monster inside

Raging through the storm again

But I won’t surrender

To the fire within

I’m fighting the darkness

Breaking through the night

The war inside my mind

Is a battle I will fight

The monster whispers in the silence

But I’m still standing here.
