Lyrics
Verse 1:
In the quiet of the night, when the world is fast asleep,
A shadow stirs within him, from the darkness, it will creep.
Behind those eyes of sorrow, and a smile that seems so kind,
Lies a beast of rage and fury, a monster trapped inside his mind.
Chorus:
Oh, the monster within, it hides beneath the skin,
In the depths of a man, where the light grows thin.
With a heart of darkness, and a soul in strife,
It battles for control, in the shadows of his life.
Verse 2:
He walks among the people, a man of flesh and bone,
But in his heart, a tempest, a storm he's never shown.
He fights to keep it hidden, behind a mask so worn,
Yet every day it whispers, a secret never sworn.
Chorus:
Oh, the monster within, it hides beneath the skin,
In the depths of a man, where the light grows thin.
With a heart of darkness, and a soul in strife,
It battles for control, in the shadows of his life.
Bridge:
In moments of weakness, it claws its way out,
With a roar that shatters, a primal shout.
He fears what he's become, what he could be,
A slave to the monster, longing to be free.
Verse 3:
He seeks redemption's hand, in the calm of dawn’s embrace,
To quell the beast within him, to find a safer place.
Through tears and silent prayers, he hopes to heal the scar,
But the monster always lingers, never straying far.
Chorus:
Oh, the monster within, it hides beneath the skin,
In the depths of a man, where the light grows thin.
With a heart of darkness, and a soul in strife,
It battles for control, in the shadows of his life.
Outro:
So he walks the line, between dark and light,
A battle raging on, in the endless night.
For in every man, there lies a beast within,
A monster in the shadows, where the nightmares begin.
