[Verse 1]
Hearin’ the voice in my head,
Darin’ not to comprehend.
Clawin’, tearin’ at the wall ,
My composure’s what he mauls.
Every shadow starts to shift,
Pullin’ my peace down to the rift.
In the distance, it calls my name,
Another temptation for him to claim.
I can’t outrun from what’s within
[Pre chorus]
The cage creaks, seams startin’ to split,
Every second rakes my wit,
Holdin’ my line with gritted teeth,
Climbin’ up from beneath
[Chorus]
The poundin’ hits the brink,
Pryin’ at every chink.
He’s dragged to the edge,
Ramming in this final wedge.
My other self, a monstrous might,
Seethes to grab what’s in sight.
Tryin’ to shake my very being,
This devil’s temptin’ to break free.
[Verse 2]
through cracked reflections, I can see,
The stranger starin’ back at me.
his eyes are burnin’, coals of rage,
Ready to take center stage.
the chains I forged begin to fray,
Something older waits in bay.
As it hammers in my mind,
Our fates forever intertwined.
[Chorus]
The poundin’ hits the brink,
Pryin’ at every chink.
He’s dragged to the edge,
Ramming in this final wedge.
My other self, a monstrous might,
Seethes to grab what’s in sight.
Tryin’ to shake my very being,
This devil’s temptin’ to break free.
[Bridge]
Walls closing in,
Heart in my throat.
Sweat streamin’ down my skin,
Breath on my nape with no face.
Ears ringin’, drownin’ out my thoughts,
What. I. See. Isn’t me!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
The poundin’ hits the brink,
Pryin’ at every chink.
He’s dragged to the edge,
Ramming in this final wedge.
My other self, a monstrous might,
Seethes to grab what’s in sight.
Tryin’ to shake my very being,
This devil’s temptin’ to break free.
[Outro]
I’m the venom in your veins, every heartbeat outta line,
All this resistance? Soon you’ll be mine.
All that rage you tried to bury, rottin’ there in waste,
When the last thin thread gives way, I’ll take my place.
Hand at the wheel when your world starts to sway,
I’ve always been here, and I’m here to stay.
When the red haze finally settles and you’re starin’ at the scene…
You’ll finally see it clear — the monster was always me.
