[Intro – whispered, fading piano / ambient hum]
I feel it in my chest…
A shadow I can’t shake…
The fire inside… it’s crying…
And it’s mine.
Do you hear it too?
The whispers under your skin…
They’ve always been waiting…
I’ve carried them long enough…
And now they’re awake, rising with every heartbeat.
[Verse 1 – soft, haunted vocals]
I’ve walked through ashes, stepped on broken glass,
The world’s reflection mocks me as I pass.
Every scar, every lie, every secret I keep,
Burrows in my soul… I can’t sleep.
I feel the weight of every choice I’ve made,
The blood on my hands that never seems to fade.
I’ve built walls from my failures, fortified by pain,
A fortress of regret, where only shadows remain.
I hear a thousand voices, but they’re all my own,
Screaming truths I’ve buried, truths I’ve never shown.
[Pre-Chorus – building intensity]
I hear it…
The devil whispers my name…
Tells me I’m nothing…
Tells me I’m everything…
And I believe it.
I am the fault line… the crack in the floor,
The echo of every battle I’ve lost before.
[Chorus – heavier, layered, raw]
The devil cries in me,
And I don’t know why I let him stay.
Every heartbeat bleeds, every thought decays,
The devil cries in me…
And I’m too weak to walk away.
The fire is burning at my core,
My reflection cracks and shatters more.
I’ve tried to run, I’ve tried to hide,
But the shadows I carry won’t be denied.
[Verse 2 – darker, aggressive, layered imagery]
I scream into mirrors, no one answers back,
Every prayer I’ve made… just another trap.
The shadows crawl closer, they know all my sins,
Watching the war I fight within.
The floors are splintered beneath my feet,
The ceiling hangs heavy with all I can’t defeat.
I claw at the walls of my mind,
Hoping someone—anyone—will find
The fragments of me I left behind.
The night whispers secrets I dare not tell,
The fire inside me burns like a living hell.
[Bridge – whispered madness, echoing, ambient chaos]
I am the storm… I am the pain…
I am the fire they tried to contain…
I am the voice you ignore…
I am the chains you can’t undo…
I am the devil… crying… in… me…
I am the screams you hear in your sleep,
The shadow that follows you, never weak.
I am the weight of every sin,
The reflection of every scar within.
[Chorus 2 – heavier, almost screaming]
The devil cries in me,
And I don’t know why I let him stay.
Every heartbeat bleeds, every thought decays,
The devil cries in me…
And I’m too weak to walk away.
It gnaws inside me, consuming, alive…
The last flicker of me starts to die.
[Outro – fading piano, whispers, echo]
He’s in my chest…
He’s in my blood…
The devil cries…
And I am him.
Forever awake, forever mine…
And still… he stares back…
The fire never ends…
And neither do I.
