Face the Monster

[Intro]
Whispers in the shadows, lurking in my mind
A battle's raging softly, can't escape what I can't hide

[Verse 1]
I didn't craft this darkness, it was born in silent lies
Someone's hand was steady, pulling strings behind my eyes
Now these demons waking, clawing from their prison deep
Ready for the verdict, the reckoning they seek

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's the master, who's the slave?
Can't tell the difference anymore
Echoes of a past I didn't save
Fighting what I can't ignore

[Chorus]
These monsters in my mirror, they're trembling, they come alive
Faced with the reflection, the one who made them survive
It's not me, but I carry the weight, the scars that I can't hide
Tonight, I face the maker, the darkness I can't deny

[Verse 2]
Pieces of a puzzle, shattered by forbidden hands
A shadowed history, written on trembling sands
They say the beast is tamed, but I see it in their eyes
Poised in the silence, ready for the final cry

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's the master, who's the slave?
Can't tell the difference anymore
Echoes of a past I didn't save
Fighting what I can't ignore

[Chorus]
These monsters in my mirror, they're trembling, they come alive
Faced with the reflection, the one who made them survive
It's not me, but I carry the weight, the scars that I can't hide
Tonight, I face the maker, the darkness I can't deny

[Bridge]
Breaking the chains of what was never mine
Reclaiming the scars, shedding the disguise
A face in the mirror, no longer unspoken
Revenge for the silence, the demon’s last token

[Outro]
So here I stand, unmasked and free
The monster’s creator, finally see
It’s not who I am, but who made me be
Facing the darkness, set myself free
