Consumed

Verse 1

I wore a face I didn’t own,

A borrowed soul, a heart of stone.

Each lie I told became my skin,

A life outside, I let it in.

I laugh too loud, I shine too bright,

But underneath, I lose the fight.

The world believes, they see my spark,

But they don’t know I’ve sold my dark.

Pre-Chorus

I built this mask to keep the pain away,

But now it whispers, “You can’t escape.”

Chorus

I’m consumed by the me I made,

A perfect shadow where I fade.

I hide so deep, I’ve lost the fight,

The mask is real, I’m out of sight.

A life I chose, a life I fear,

The voice inside is all I hear.

Verse 2

It started small, a shield, a game,

But now it laughs and knows my name.

Every secret, every scar I hide,

The mask devours me from inside.

I thought I’d be safe, I thought I’d win,

But now I’m trapped beneath my skin.

It’s stronger than me, it’s all I see,

The persona lives, and it’s swallowing me.

Pre-Chorus

I try to reach the real me beneath,

But all I find is the mask’s teeth.

Chorus

I’m consumed by the me I made,

A perfect shadow where I fade.

I hide so deep, I’ve lost the fight,

The mask is real, I’m out of sight.

A life I chose, a life I fear,

The voice inside is all I hear.

Bridge

I wanted armor, I wanted a friend,

But now the mask is the bitter end.

It knows my secrets, it knows my pain,

It whispers softly, “You’re mine to claim.”

Chorus / Outro (fade hauntingly)

I’m consumed by the me I made,

The shadow laughs where I once stayed.

I hide so deep, I’ve lost the fight,

The mask is real, I’m out of sight.

A life I chose, a life I fear,

The voice inside is all I hear.
