[Ambient Intro – distorted aftermath]
[low ominous synth drone]
[reversed guitar swells]
[distant echoing piano notes]
[heartbeat kick slowly building]
[soft whispered vocal with heavy filter and reverb]
[distorted whisper repeating]
the war is over…
the war is over…
[glitching vocal distortion]
or so I believed
[wind-like ambient textures]
[screamed vocals]
Whispers in the shadowed night, calling me again
Echoes of my fallen pride, drowning in the pain
[Melodic Verse – emotional clean vocals]
Fingers grip the crumbling edge, temptation's call
Broken mirrors, shattered dreams, I'm bound to fall
Screaming silent cries beneath the surface hue
Lost inside this storm, can't escape from me and you
[Pre-Chorus – tension building]
Fading in the dark, I chase the ghosts of my past
Fighting all these scars, longing for what doesn't last
[Massive Chorus – soaring emotional vocals]
Burning bright, I’m falling fast into the abyss
Addiction’s grip, destroying all I used to miss
Monsters in my head screaming through the void
This destructive love, I can't avoid
[Drop – heavy section]
[guttural screams]
[heavy riffs]
[pounding drums]
[band stops]
Am I the victim…
Or the villain
Sink your teeth in my soul
Drag me under the cold
I tried to fight —
But the darkness knows my name
Burn it down
Let the ashes fall like rain
I feel it crawling in my veins
I hear it screaming through the pain
[Second Chorus – heavier instrumentation]
Burning bright, I’m falling fast into the abyss
Addiction’s grip, destroying all I used to miss
Monsters in my head screaming through the void
This destructive love, I can't avoid
[Heavy Bridge]
[cinematic synth layers]
Cinematic layers spin me around, feeling so betrayed
Synthetic shadows drown my soul, I've lost my way again
Heavy, low-tuned riffs collide, tearing through the night
A melodic cry for help, a final fight
[Final Chorus – layered vocals]
Fading into the dark, I surrender to the flame
Lost within my scars, searching for my name
Dim shadows fade, but scars remain
In the chaos, I find my pain
[Ambient Decay]
[guitars fading into reverb]
[distant vocal echo]
Am I the victim…
Or the villain
[whisper – heavy reverb]
I never escaped…
All this time
I was fighting the wrong enemy
[silence – 1 beat]
THE MONSTER
I BECAME
[Final Breakdown]
[band stops – full silence]
[breakdown explosion – full band]
THE MON-STER
[chugging riff hit]
THE MON-STER
[chugging riff hit]
THE MON-STER
[FINAL HIT]
[guitars + china cymbal + sub drop]
[guitar feedback ringing]
[low synth drone slowly returning]
[distant whisper repeating]
monster…
monster…
[whisper fading]
it was always there…
[pause]
behind my eyes…
