[Intro – Soft, Distant, Atmospheric]
You look at me
Like I already burned the world…
Like I already chose the fire.
But I’m still standing in the ashes
Of things I never did.
⸻
[Verse 1]
You painted horns above my head,
With words you never truly said,
Turned my silence into crime,
Built a villain out of time.
Every shadow on the wall,
You swear you heard my darkness call,
But I was only trying to breathe,
Underneath what you believe.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
If I’m the monster in your mind,
Then why am I the one confined?
If I’m the chaos in your night,
Why am I still begging for the light?
⸻
[Chorus – Emotional Explosion]
I wish I was the demon you think I am,
Cold as fire, heartless as sin,
If I was truly made of flame,
Maybe I wouldn’t feel this pain.
I wish I was the darkness you see,
So your words wouldn’t cut so deep,
If I had nothing left to lose,
I’d have no soul left to bruise.
⸻
[Verse 2 – More Intense]
You sharpen whispers into blades,
Turn my kindness into shades,
Every flaw becomes a scar,
You love me broken from afar.
You say I thrive in twisted games,
That I ignite emotional flames,
But if I really fed on fear,
Why am I still trembling here?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Rising Tension]
If I’m the villain in your story,
Where’s my power? Where’s my glory?
If I’m the storm you’re running from,
Why do I still feel so numb?
⸻
[Chorus – Bigger, Layered]
I wish I was the demon you think I am,
Sharp and ruthless, never weak,
If I was carved from stone and smoke,
Maybe your words would never choke.
I wish I had no heart to break,
No fragile pulse for you to shake,
If I was truly born in flame,
I’d never feel the weight of blame.
⸻
[Bridge – Beat Drop / Whispered]
Maybe I should grow the horns…
Maybe I should wear the crown…
If you need a monster so badly—
I can burn it all down.
But I don’t want to be your fear,
I don’t want to disappear,
I just wanted you to see…
The human underneath me.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Raw / Emotional]
I wish I was the demon you think I am,
So I wouldn’t cry when you condemn,
If I was built from hate and lies,
I wouldn’t bleed behind my eyes.
But I’m still flesh and still afraid,
Still breaking from the roles you made,
If I was truly what you claim—
I wouldn’t hurt this way.
