The beast within

**Verse 1:**

There's a shadow deep inside, that I try to hide,

A fierce and wild creature, that I lock away with pride.

In this world of echoes and fragile dreams,

I keep my heart guarded with ice-cold seams.

**Chorus:**

Oh, I keep my inner beast close and tight,

Underneath this calm facade and moonlit night.

Cold as the winter winds, I guard my soul,

For if it roars, it takes its toll.

**Verse 2:**

In the silence, I hear the whispers of rage,

A storm that battles against my self-made cage.

With every heartbeat, it tries to break free,

But I chain it down to preserve peace within me.

**Chorus:**

Oh, I keep my inner beast close and tight,

Underneath this calm facade and moonlit night.

Cold as the winter winds, I guard my soul,

For if it roars, it takes its toll.

**Bridge:**

Frozen veins and steely eyes, while I play the part,

Of someone who never lets on the chaos in their heart.

But in the stillness, the beast and I converse,

Every roar unheard, saving us from the curse.

**Chorus:**

Oh, I keep my inner beast close and tight,

Underneath this calm facade and moonlit night.

Cold as the winter winds, I guard my soul,

For if it roars, it takes its toll.

**Outro:**

So I walk this path with shadows by my side,

An untamed force that forever must hide.

With a heart of ice and a mind so keen,

I'll keep the beast within, forever unseen.
