[Melodic Pop-Metalcore Intro without voice, only Instruments]
[Verse 1 – female clean vocals]
I hear you breathing in the dark,
a whisper crawling through my heart.
You keep your claws beneath my skin,
you only rise when I give in.
You know the things I never say —
the parts of me I locked away.
You wear my guilt like glowing scars,
my shadow-self among the stars.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean vocals, tense]
You’re not gone…
you never were.
You’re the voice inside the blur.
---
[Chorus – catchy, big, unforgettable]
You’re the monster living under my skin,
calling out the things I’ve buried within.
Every night you drag me into the deep —
you’re the nightmare I can’t keep asleep.
You’re the monster that I didn’t choose,
but without you I’ve got too much to lose.
You’re the darkness breathing back at me —
the monster I was born to be.
---
[Verse 2 – male screams, heavier]
You stitch your hunger to my bones,
devour truth and spit out thrones.
You turn my fears to broken glass,
you haunt the future, choke the past.
I see you lurking in the frame,
a twisted smile that wears my name.
No priest can cleanse, no saint can save —
I built your throne inside my grave.
---
[Pre-Chorus – female clean, rising]
You’re not gone…
you never were.
You’re the echo in my nerves.
---
[Chorus – bigger, heavier, layered screams]
You’re the monster living under my skin,
calling out the things I’ve buried within.
Every night you drag me into the deep —
you’re the nightmare I can’t keep asleep.
You’re the monster that I didn’t choose,
but without you I’ve got too much to lose.
You’re the darkness breathing back at me —
the monster I was born to be.
---
[Solo – melodic guitar solo, no vocals, episch, düster, cyber angehaucht]
---
[Breakdown – brutal screams, Deathcore-Impact]
I SEE YOU!
I FEEL YOU!
YOU’RE THE HUNGER BREAKING THROUGH!
Tear the chains —
unmask the fear!
THE MONSTER LIVES
WHEN I APPEAR!
---
[Final Chorus – female clean + male scream duet]
You’re the monster living under my skin,
calling out the things I’ve buried within.
Every night you drag me into the deep —
you’re the nightmare I can’t keep asleep.
You’re the monster that I didn’t choose…
but without you, I’d have nothing to lose.
You’re the shadow that completes my soul —
the monster that makes me whole.
---
[Outro – clean whisper]
I don’t fear you…
I’m made of you.
