Verse 1
Since the first time I could feel
Something whispered in my bones
A hunger deep within (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Never fit their painted smile
Every mask I tried to wear
Would crack beneath my skin (oh, oh, oh, oh)
If I showed you what I am
Would you lock the door on me?
If the air turns cold and still
Would you run scared?
I keep hearing all the time
That the rot is born inside
And it’s growing under my skin
Pre-Chorus
I’m just a shadow with fire to blind me
Clawing my way out before it can bind me
Chorus (Light Tongue Twister)
Beast breath breaks the blackened night
Biting back, but the burn feels right
Bound by the beat of the beast inside
Breathing in shadows, I can’t hide
---
Verse 2
Tell me, could I wash it clean
If the blood is mine to keep?
Or will it stain for life? (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Never begged for this to come
But the curse has claimed my lungs
And it’s breathing in my night (oh, oh, oh, oh)
If I showed you what I am
Would you burn the bridge to me?
If my eyes start turning black
Would you still stay?
Every step I try to take
Drags me deeper in the ache
Where the dark knows my name
Pre-Chorus
I’m just a shadow with fire to blind me
Clawing my way out before it can bind me
Chorus (Light Tongue Twister)
Beast breath breaks the blackened night
Biting back, but the burn feels right
Bound by the beat of the beast inside
Breathing in shadows, I can’t hide
---
Bridge
Whispers wound and the walls close in
Every sin’s got a shadowed twin
The deeper I run, the closer it gets
The beast in my chest won’t let me forget
---
Final Chorus (Light Tongue Twister)
Beast breath breaks the blackened night
Biting back, but the burn feels right
Bound by the beat of the beast inside
Breathing in shadows, I can’t hide
No_One
