[Verse]
Shadow lurking burning my chest
Teeth grind fists clenched no time for rest
This thing I hold it would tear me apart
But I hold the reins I hold the heart
[Verse 2]
Power surging like a storm unbound
Cracks in my bones every scream profound
It whispers promises I know full well
Raise me to heaven or drag me through hell
[Chorus]
I am the master but it’s clawing away
A raging fire I force to obey
But it’s taking its toll as it gnaws at my soul
Is this strength worth it is it worth the hole
[Bridge]
Engine roaring my body grows numb
The beast fuels my march but my time is done
Every roar is a fracture every howl a cut
I wield it but broken I’m stuck in this rut
[Verse 3]
Eyes crimson veins splinter the skin
The beast my addiction I’m caving within
Control is an illusion we both know the song
One of us falters yet we both don’t belong
[Chorus]
I am the master but it’s clawing away
A raging fire I force to obey
But it’s taking its toll as it gnaws at my soul
Is this strength worth it is it worth the hole
