[Verse 1]
Can’t hold back
Back the pain
It’s in my veins
Breath tastes like rust
Teeth on my name
Walls bend inward
Shadows crawl under my skin
Every mirror
Shows what I’ve hidden
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear it breathing
Behind my ribs
Claws in the silence
Tearing the script
[Chorus]
The monsters found me
It’s closing in
It’s coming close and I’m afraid
Can’t hold nothing
I cave again
I cave again
I cave again
The monsters found me
Inside my head
It’s coming close and I’m afraid
[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo
In a room that should be still
Cold hand on my shoulder
Says
“You’re never getting healed”
Words like shackles
Drag across the floor
Every secret
Nails shut the door
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel it grinning
Under my skin
Laughing in whispers
Pulling me in
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
I’m too afraid to scream its name
Too afraid it sounds like mine
If I open up these fists
Will I bleed or will I shine?
[growled vocals]
Tear out the rot
Rip out the frame
If I am the beast
Then I’ll own the fangs
[Chorus]
