MONSTER INSIDE OF ME
(industrial horror / gritty metal energy inspired by Rob Zombie-era vibes, but original)
[Intro]
Yeah…
Dig it up, drag it out, wake the dead tonight
Black smoke, cracked bones, living in the neon light
[Verse 1]
Got a head full of spiders and a mouth full of knives
Dead men dancing at the edge of my mind
Street lights flicker with a funeral grin
Hear the devil scratching under my skin
Foot on the gas and the moon turns red
Every little nightmare crawling outta my head
Blood on the radio, static in the rain
Laughing with the voices that are calling my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Deep down low where the darkness feeds
Something’s waking up inside of me
[Chorus]
There’s a monster inside of me
Chains and gasoline insanity
No sleep, no savior, no remedy
Can’t kill the monster inside of me
Monster inside of me
Monster inside of me
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Graveyard heartbeat under black parade skies
Mad dogs staring through electric eyes
Broken halos hanging over the fire
I’m dancing with a corpse choir higher and higher
[Breakdown]
Rip it out!
Burn it down!
No escape when the walls fall down!
Rip it out!
Burn it down!
The beast ain’t leaving now!
[Final Chorus]
There’s a monster inside of me
Teeth and chaos identity
No chains, no heaven, no sympathy
I AM the monster inside of me
If you want it pushed harder toward your Shinedown + Avenged Sevenfold side with faster double-kick and bigger melodic chorus hooks, I can turn it into something more arena-metal and less horror-groove.
