[Verse]
Shadows crawl on the ceiling
I taste the weight of the night
Chains rattle deep in my mind
Locked up tight
Locked up tight
[Chorus]
The monster within
Scratching the walls again
But when I found you
You taught me how to
Keep it locked in
[Verse 2]
Fists clenched like thunder
Eyes burn like a storm
A beast in my chest
Wild and torn
But your voice cuts through
Keeps me warm
[Prechorus]
How did you see
What I buried so deep
[Chorus]
The monster within
Scratching the walls again
But when I found you
You taught me how to
Keep it locked in
[Bridge]
You hold the key
To a cage made of fire
You calm the rage
Feed my desire
You hold me steady
When the beast gets higher
