Sleeping Monster

[Intro]
“Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness…
The monster in me is sleeping… not dead.”


[Verse 1]
I bite my tongue, I hold my breath,
I’ve carried mercy where others gave death.
But every scar writes a warning line,
There’s a darker side I keep confined.


[Pre-Chorus]
You think I’m broken,
But I’ve just been still.
The calm you see
Is the strength of my will.


[Chorus]
Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness!
The fire’s alive, it’s burning beneath this!
The monster sleeps, but never dies,
You’ll hear the rage when it opens its eyes!


[Verse 2]
You call it weakness to show restraint,
But chains can snap when they bear the weight.
You’ll never know what I’ve locked away,
Until the moment I let it slay.


[Pre-Chorus]
You think I’m silent,
But the storm is loud.
The peace you praise
Is a burial shroud.


[Chorus]
Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness!
The fire’s alive, it’s burning beneath this!
The monster sleeps, but never dies,
You’ll hear the rage when it opens its eyes!


[Verse 3]
You fed the demon, you stoked the flame,
You’ve carved your words into my name.
Every betrayal, every lie,
Is fuel for the beast you can’t pacify.


[Pre-Chorus]
You think I’m fragile,
But I’m forged in scars.
This kindness hides
A crown of jagged shards.


[Breakdown]
Sleeping—not dead!
Chained—but never bled!
Mercy was the mask I wore,
Now hear the beast behind the roar!


[Final Chorus]
I am not weak—I’m mercy with teeth!
A kindness cloaked in fire beneath!
The monster sleeps, but never dies,
And you’ll see hell when it opens its eyes!


[Spoken Outro]
“…The monster in me…
isn’t dead.”
