(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, draggin’ me out of 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,
Livin’ a cycle of sellinme out, lotta self-doubt.
You want a front-row seat to watch me collapse?
Well, strap yourself in, 'cause there’s no turnin’ back!
(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.
And I won’t fall, I’ll keep giving more.
If you want a monster! Welcome to my war!
(Verse 2)
No medals for the trauma, no parade in the rain,
Just a list of my traumas, laced with my pain.
They point at the scars and laugh in my face,
While I’m trying not to scream and shift all the blame.
Yeah, the armor is thin but my skin grew in thick,
The tickin of the clock is makin me sick.
You think you can handle the monster inside?
Youve only seen half of what I have to hide!
I’m gonna flip my lid, I’m about to break 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 now I look like a fool
But each little strike just fuels my fire inside,
There’s nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide.
I'm sweepin up the pieces of life that I once knew,
Rebuilding the bridges that your fire burnt through !
You wanted to break me, but you saw defeat!
You can’t take me down, you cannot get to 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 dodgin the bullets, I'm givin my all.
And I won’t fall, I’ll keep giving more.
If you want a monster! Welcome to my war!
(The Build-up)
YOU WANT A MONSTER?!
HOW MUCH CAN YOU TAKE?!
I'M PUSHED TO THE LIMIT, I'M READY TO BREAK!
THE ASHES ARE RISING, THE EMPIRES FALL!
I’M TAKING IT ALL, YEAH I’M TAKING IT ALL!
(Bridge - Heavy Breakdown)
No white flags! Never a truce!
What the hell do I have left to lose?!
Forget what you did, forget the abuse
I’m over it, I’m over you
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 a monster
you found it in me
