(Verse 1)
I’m locked inside a chamber of my own design,
Tryin to search for a time when the stars align.
Got demons on my left side and shadows on my right,
They’re pullin’ me under, away from the light.
I look in the mirror and hate what I see,
A face that gets used cause I can’t speak for me
Yeah, I’m suffocating, lookin’ for any way out,
Just Repeating the cycle of shutting me down.
And there’s one way out!
(Pre-Chorus 1)
I'm runnin' dry, I'm burnin' out,
I’m fightin' My demons and losin' my ground.
The walls closin' in, the pressure's too' high,
I’m spreadin my wings but I can’t seem to fly!
(Chorus)
This is the war! I beg and I plead!
This is the war! I’m down on my knees!
In the line of the fire, I’ll rise or I’ll fall,
I'm dodging the bullets, I'm giving my all.
I can’t let you fall , I’ll keep giving more.
If you want a monster! That’s what I’m here for!
(Verse 2)
No medals for the trauma, no parade in the rain,
Just a list of my traumas, laced with my pain.
They point at the scars and laugh in my face,
While I’m trying not to scream and shift all the blame.
Yeah, the armor is thin but my skin grew in thick,
The tickin of the clock is makin me sick.
You think you can handle the monster inside?
Youve only seen half of what I have to hide!
I’m gonna flip my lid, I’m about to break the cage,
Turn pain into power, turn the sorrow into RAGE!
(Verse 3)
You pushed me to the edge, you broke all the rules,
You walked on my heart now I look like a fool
But each little strike just fuels my fire inside,
There’s nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide.
I'm sweepin up the pieces of life that I once knew,
Rebuilding the bridges that your fire burnt through !
You wanted to break me, but you saw defeat!
You can’t take me down, you cannot get to me!
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I'm runnin' dry, I'm burnin' out,
I’m fightin' My demons and losin' my ground.
The walls closin' in, the pressure's too' high,
I’m spreadin my wings but I can’t seem to fly!
(Chorus)
This is the war! I beg and I plead!
This is the war! I’m down on my knees!
In the line of the fire, I’ll rise or I’ll fall,
I'm dodging the bullets, I'm giving my all.
I can’t let you fall , I’ll keep giving more.
If you want a monster!! Then look no more
(The Build-up)
YOU WANT A MONSTER
HOW MUCH CAN YOU TAKE
I'M PUSHED TO THE LIMIT, I'M READY TO BREAK
THE ASHES ARE RISING, THE EMPIRES FALL!
I’M TAKING IT ALL, YEAH I’M TAKING IT ALL!
THE ASHES ARE RISING, THE EMPIRES FALL!
I’M TAKING IT ALL, YEAH I’M TAKING IT ALL!
(Bridge - Heavy Breakdown)
Forget what you did, forget the abuse
I’m over it, and I’m over you
I'VE BEEN BURIED ALIVE BUT I'M BURSTING FREE,
SHATTERING EACH OF YOUR BROKEN DREAMS!
NO YOU CAN’T STOP THE FIRE BURNIN MY VEINS,
I’M BREAKING OUT AND ENDING THE PAIN!
(Final Chorus)
This is the war! I beg and I plead
If you want a monster
you found it in me
Arkh
