Monster Within

[Intro]
Mirror, mirror, what do you see?
A monster, a savior, all of me
Whispered truths, tangled in doubt
Who am I? What’s this about?

[Verse 1]
I wear a mask, shadows behind my eyes
Built from the chaos and silent cries
A force to break and a force to mend
A hurricane and a gentle friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Divided in my heart, lost in my mind
Searching for the truth I cannot find
Fragile, fierce, a paradox’s song
Who I am feels so wrong yet so strong

[Chorus]
Horrible monster, beautiful soul
Tearing, loving, out of control
In the chaos, I find my grace
A pain and joy I can't erase
Why’s the light inside so bright?
A deadly love, conflicting night
Fighting for the who I am
Or am I just a shifting sham?

[Verse 2]
Power I wield, both kind and cruel
A ruthless king, a gentle fool
Broken pieces, scattered wide
Seeking what I cannot hide

[Pre-Chorus]
A split so deep, a thousand shades
Walking through this endless maze
I burn and I bloom, I fight and I kiss
Caught in the tenderness of this mental abyss

[Chorus]
Horrible monster, beautiful soul
Tearing, loving, out of control
In the chaos, I find my grace
A pain and joy I can't erase
Why’s the light inside so bright?
A deadly love, conflicting night
Fighting for the who I am
Or am I just a shifting sham?

[Bridge]
Tell me, who’s the real me?
Is it the shadow, the light I see?
A reflection in fractured glass
This endless war will it ever pass?

[Outro]
Maybe I’m both, maybe I’m none
A battle lost, a battle won
Fucking brilliant, sweet, cursed
The monster within, the universe
Who am I? The question remains
An eternal fire, joys and pains
