Monsters Beneath the Mask

[Intro]  
(Heavy guitar intro, atmospheric synths fading in)  
Echo of shadows, lurking deep inside,  
A heart that’s torn, where demons reside.  
Into the night, where fears take flight,  
I wear this mask, but I’m losing the fight.  
[Verse 1]  
Caged in silence, beneath the skin,  
The monster whispers, urging me to sin.  
I laugh with courage, I hide the pain,  
Drowning in madness, held by the chain.  
Falling from grace, I’m torn at the seams,  
Save me, I cry, from unholy dreams.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
But I break the day with the screams I ignore,  
Like a hero crafted from scars that I wore.  
Step into the light, push the shadows away,  
I am the savior in a world gone gray.  
[Chorus]  
I’m a monster inside, but I wear a brave face,  
Fighting through battles in this twisted space.  
With every heartbeat, I stand tall,  
A warrior rising, I won’t let me fall.  
Underneath the armor, there’s a soul to defend,  
I fight for the hope that this struggle will end.  
[Verse 2]  
The faintest glimmer in a sea of despair,  
A flicker of light, cutting through the air.  
Forged in the fires of my darkest days,  
I rise from the ashes, reclaiming my ways.  
Drowning my fears in a tempest of sound,  
I’ll carry the weight, my spirit unbound.  
[Bridge]  
(Solo guitar riff, increasing in intensity)  
When the night whispers, I’ll scream my resolve,  
For each scar I bear makes me strong and evolved.  
I shatter the glass, revealing my truth,  
This monster I fear is the source of my proof.  
[Chorus]  
I’m a monster inside, but I wear a brave face,  
Fighting through battles in this twisted space.  
With every heartbeat, I stand tall,  
A warrior rising, I won’t let me fall.  
Underneath the armor, there’s a soul to defend,  
I fight for the hope that this struggle will end.  
[Outro]  
(Gradually slowing down, clean guitar outro)  
So I’ll wear my battle scars like a crown on my head,  
From the monster within, a hero will spread.  
No more hiding, no more disguise,  
In this epic battle, I’ll claim the skies.
