Monster In Me by Eliah_Jay - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – Rap Talk (sarcastic), synth ticking beat]

Tick-tock, another shot,

Mirror’s laughin’, guess I forgot —

I’m the clown and the circus freak,

Front-row seat to my losing streak!

[drum fill kicks in, heavy guitars start building]

[Verse 1 – Rap-Metal]

Woke up drunk with my shoes on the ceiling,

Texts from my past, yeah, they’re "catching feelings,"

Smoke alarms blarin’, but I’m chillin’,

If life’s a joke, guess I’m the villain.

Laughin' through therapy, dodge every question,

Patchwork soul — duct tape depression,

Swipe right on a disaster date,

Tell my conscience, "Bro, you’re two drinks late."

[Pre Chorus – Clean Vocals, synth and bass building]

Can't hide when the cracks are wide,

Fake smiles stitched to a landslide...

[Chorus – Massive, loud guitars crash in]

There’s a monster in my mirror, grinnin’ at me,

Sippin’ on chaos like morning coffee,

Yeah, I laugh, yeah, I scream,

But I’m shattering in between,

There’s a monster in my mirror…

and it looks just like me.

[small guitar riff bridge transition, synth whine]

[Verse 2 – Rap-Metal, faster flow]

Tried fixing my life with expired glue,

Signed a deal with regret — it came true,

My guardian angel’s probably drunk too,

High-fivin' demons like, "Dude, that's you!"

Netflix and self-loathing on replay,

Toast to mistakes I’ll make today,

I’ll ghost myself if that’s okay —

Self-sabotage? My favorite cliché.

[Pre Chorus – Tension builds]

Can't run when the chains are tight,

Smile wide while I lose this fight...

[Chorus – Even bigger]

There’s a monster in my mirror, grinnin’ at me,

Lighting up nightmares like it’s therapy,

Yeah, I laugh, yeah, I bleed,

But I’m stitched into this dream,

There’s a monster in my mirror…

and it’s wearing my skin.

[Bridge – Breakdown, screamed vocals + distorted synth]

Mirror, mirror — on the wall,

Who's the fakest of them all?!

TICK, TICK, BOOM — it’s me again!

Dyin' slow with a stupid grin!

[Final Chorus – Half-sung, Half-screamed, chaotic and epic]

There’s a monster in my mirror, gnashin’ teeth,

Wearing my sins like a trophy piece,

Yeah, I fight, yeah, I flee,

But the beast is glued to me,

There’s a monster in my mirror...

and he’ll never leave.

[Outro – Whispered, synth fades]

Tick-tock, tick-tock…

Guess I’ll see you tomorrow…
