The darkness inside

**[Intro — whispered]**

There’s something breathing

Behind my eyes.

I shut the door—

It stays inside.

**[Verse 1]**

I wake beneath a ceiling made of stone,

A thousand voices claiming I’m alone.

Every thought becomes a loaded blade,

Every memory refuses to decay.

I wear a face that no one sees behind,

A perfect mask stretched over a fractured mind.

The silence screams, the walls begin to bend—

I can’t tell where I begin or where I end.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Something crawls beneath my skin,

A voice that tells me, “Let me in.”

I fight the shadow every night,

But it grows stronger in the light.

**[Chorus — screamed]**

**THERE’S SOMETHING BEHIND MY EYES!**

A dying world that never dies!

**I’M LOSING CONTROL!**

As the darkness takes my soul!

I scream, but no one hears my cries—

The monster wears my fucking eyes!

**BEHIND MY EYES!**

**BEHIND MY EYES!**

**[Verse 2]**

I built these walls to keep the world away,

But now they’re closing in on me each day.

The hands of yesterday still choke my throat,

Dragging every buried nightmare to the surface.

I see a stranger staring in the glass,

A hollow shell assembled from the past.

He knows my name, he knows my every fear—

And whispers, “You were never safe in here.”

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Every scar becomes a door,

Every wound demands for more.

I hear the footsteps down the hall—

Something waits behind the wall.

**[Chorus — screamed]**

**THERE’S SOMETHING BEHIND MY EYES!**

A dying world that never dies!

**I’M LOSING CONTROL!**

As the darkness takes my soul!

I scream, but no one hears my cries—

The monster wears my fucking eyes!

**BEHIND MY EYES!**

**BEHIND MY EYES!**

**[Bridge — clean vocals, building]**

Maybe I was never broken...

Maybe I was born this way.

Maybe every voice inside me

Was waiting for its day.

I have buried all the pieces

That I could no longer save.

But the deeper that I bury them,

The louder they become.

**[Build — whispered → screamed]**

You can't kill what's already dead.

You can't silence what's inside your head.

You can't run from what you are.

**YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOURSELF!**

**[Breakdown]**

**OPEN THE DOOR!**

**LET IT IN!**

**FEED THE BEAST!**

**LET IT BEGIN!**

I am the darkness!

I am the pain!

I am the voice

Inside your brain!

**TEAR DOWN THE WALLS!**

**BREAK EVERY CHAIN!**

**IF THIS IS HELL—**

**I’LL WEAR THE FLAME!**

**[Final Chorus — full force]**

**THERE’S SOMETHING BEHIND MY EYES!**

And now I finally realize—

**THE MONSTER WAS ME!**

The thing I feared was never free!

I wore the mask, I lived the lie,

I buried myself just to survive!

But now I see through the disguise—

**I AM THE THING BEHIND MY EYES!**

**[Outro — whispered]**

There’s something breathing...

Behind my eyes.

I shut the door...

**It stays inside.**
