Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] He’s shaving in the bathroom mirror Sees a stranger in the glass One hand steady on the handle One wants to make it crack Soft voice saying “It’s alright” Rough voice hissing “Make it hurt” Same eyes staring through the steam Halo tangled in the dirt [Pre-Chorus] He’s praying under ragged breath To whichever god is left [Chorus] There’s a war in my skin Good man Monster Trading punches in my ribs I am both of them Pulling halos off the floor Sharpening them into thorns I keep losing I keep winning In this war In my skin [Verse 2] Sunday suit in the closet Smells like incense Dust And rain Leather jacket on the chair back Still remembers every stain One hand sends the sorry text Other types “You’ll feel this too” He can’t tell which thumb is moving When they both belong to you [Pre-Chorus] I’m laughing as I say I’m fine I’m bleeding on the line [Chorus] There’s a war in my skin Good man Monster Trading punches in my ribs I am both of them Pulling halos off the floor Sharpening them into thorns I keep losing I keep winning In this war In my skin [Bridge] I am the hand that helps you up I am the boot pressed on your chest I’m every broken promise And the vow I meant the best I am the light locked in the cellar I am the lock I am the key When these sides collide together All that’s left Is me [Chorus] There’s a war in my skin Good man Monster Trading punches in my ribs I am both of them Pulling halos off the floor Sharpening them into thorns I keep losing I keep winning On the edge of right and sin I am judge I am the victim In this war In my skin

rock, Brooding dark rock ballad with male vocals, slow-burning verses over palm-muted guitars and roomy toms. Pre-chorus swells with ominous bass drones and ghostly backing harmonies; chorus crashes in with wide distorted guitars, crashing cymbals, and a soaring, gritty lead. Bridge drops to half-time with reverb-soaked arpeggios, then a final, explosive chorus with stacked screams and harmonies riding the outro feedback., ballad
