Prompt / Lyrics
Intro – whispered → layered screams] It’s not the monsters out there… …that scare me. It’s the one… chained inside. ⸻ [Verse 1] I feel it pacing in the hollow of my chest Clawing at the ribs like it won’t rest Teeth on bone, breathing down my spine A shadow in my blood that don’t feel like mine I’ve locked it down, buried it deep Fed it silence, starved the beast But every scar is a crack in the wall And I can hear it screaming through them all ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Chain it tighter — it still pulls back Every heartbeat — another crack ⸻ [Chorus – massive, crushing] The only thing that terrifies me Is the monster wearing my skin If that leash snaps, there’s no stopping What I’ve buried deep within No mercy left, no soul to save Just teeth and rage and a shallow grave And when it breathes — it won’t ask why It hunts… it feeds… it won’t fucking die ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve seen its eyes in the mirror stare A stranger’s face but I know it’s there Cold and feral, stripped of control A walking war inside my soul You think I’m calm — you think I’m sane You don’t see the cage, you don’t feel the chains Every step I take is a line I toe One slip… and I let it go ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Hear it laughing in the back of my head “Let me out… let me paint it red…” ⸻ [Chorus] The only thing that terrifies me Is the monster wearing my skin If that leash snaps, there’s no stopping What I’ve buried deep within No mercy left, no soul to save Just teeth and rage and a shallow grave And when it breathes — it won’t ask why It hunts… it feeds… it won’t fucking die ⸻ [Breakdown – brutal, slow, crushing] SNAP… THE… LEASH… (guitar chugs like a war march) No cage — no chains No god — no name FEEL… IT… RISE… Blood in its mouth Death in its eyes ⸻ [Bridge – eerie clean vocals → scream] I tried to drown it… I tried to pray… But darkness doesn’t fade away… It waits… it grows… it knows my name… (scream) AND I’M THE ONE THAT LET IT STAY ⸻ [Final Chorus – layered, desperate, explosive] The only thing that terrifies me Is the monster I became If that rage breaks loose inside me I won’t ever be the same No chains left — nothing to hold Just violence burning out of control And when it breathes — it won’t ask why It hunts… it feeds… …AND SOMETHING DIES ⸻ [Outro – fading, distorted whisper) Keep it locked. Keep it chained. Or.. let it out!!!
