(Verse 1)
I’m locked inside a chamber of my own design,
Tryin to search for a time when the stars align.
Got demons on my left side and shadows on my right,
They’re pullin’ me under, away from the light.
I look in the mirror and hate what I see,
A face that gets used cause I can’t speak for me
Yeah, I’m suffocating, lookin’ for any way out,
Just Repeating the cycle of shutting me down.
(And there’s no way out)
(Pre-Chorus 1)
I'm runnin' dry, I'm burnin' out,
I’m fightin' My demons and losin' my ground.
The walls closin' in, the pressure's too' high,
I’m spreadin my wings but I can’t seem to fly
(Chorus)
This is the war! I beg and I plead!
This is the war! I’m down on my knees
In the line of the fire, I’ll rise or I’ll fall,
I'm dodging the bullets, I'm giving my all.
I can’t let you stumble, I cant set you free .
If you want a monster, You found it in me
(Verse 2)
No medals for the trauma, no parade in the rain,
Just a list of all your drama, laced with my pain.
They point at the scars they laugh in my face,
While I’m trying not to scream and shift all the blame.
Yeah, the armor is thin but my skin it grew in thick,
The tickin of the clock is makin me sick.
You think you can handle the monster I hide?
Youve havent seen half of what I have inside
I’m flipping my lid, I’m breaking the cage
Turn pain into power, turn the sorrow into rage
(Verse 3)
You pushed me to the edge, you broke all the rules,
You walked on my heart and I got fuckin used
But each little strike fuels my fire inside,
There’s nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide.
I'm finding more pieces of life before you,
Rebuilding the bridges your fire burnt through
You wanted to break me, you turned on the heat
But you couldn’t handle… the monster in me
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I'm runnin' dry, I'm burnin' out,
I’m fightin' My demons and losin' my ground.
The walls closin' in, the pressure's too' high,
I’m spreadin my wings but I can’t fuckin fly!
(Chorus)
This is the war! I beg and I plead!
This is the war! I’m down on my knees
In the line of the fire, I’ll rise or I’ll fall,
I'm dodging the bullets, I'm giving my all.
I can’t let you stumble, I cant set you free .
If you want a monster, you found it in me
(The Build-up)
THE ASHES ARE RISING, THE EMPIRES FALL!
I’M TAKING IT ALL, YEAH I’M TAKING IT ALL!
THE ASHES ARE RISING, THE EMPIRES FALL!
I’M TAKING IT ALL, YEAH I’M TAKING IT ALL!
(Bridge - Heavy Breakdown)
I'VE BEEN BURIED ALIVE BUT I'M BURSTING FREE,
SHATTERING EACH OF YOUR BROKEN DREAMS!
NO YOU CAN’T STOP THE FIRE BURNIN MY VEINS,
I’M BREAKING OUT AND ENDING THE PAIN
(Final Chorus)
This is the war! I beg and I plead
If you want the monster
you found it in me
Arkh
