Skin of A Demon

Verse 1

Mirror talks back when the lights go low

Says I’m not who I was, but I already know

Every scar got a voice, every fear got a name

They been knockin’ at my door, now I’m lettin’ ’em stay

Heart full of static, head full of lies

I was prayin’ for an angel, found the fire inside

They told me “be quiet, be sweet, behave”

But I learned real quick pain don’t fade

Pre-Chorus

I tried to be holy

Tried to be clean

But the dark kept calling

Sounded just like me

Chorus

I’m done runnin’ from the devil in my head

If I’m gonna burn, I’ll light it myself instead

Yeah I made peace with the monster in my chest

Put my crown on crooked, now I’m wearin’ my sins like a dress

I don’t need savin’

I don’t need help

I faced my demons

Now I am them

Verse 2

Teeth in my smile, venom in my veins

I been bit so many times now I don’t feel the pain

They say “hurt people hurt people” — okay

Guess I’m dangerous, guess I’m awake

Used to cry in the bathroom stall

Now I hear applause when I start to fall

If loving me means I gotta be tame

Then keep your heaven, I’ll keep my flame

Pre-Chorus

I tried to be chosen

Tried to be light

But the dark felt honest

And it held me tight

Chorus

I’m done runnin’ from the devil in my head

If I’m gonna burn, I’ll light it myself instead

Yeah I made peace with the monster in my chest

Put my crown on crooked, now I’m wearin’ my sins like a dress

I don’t need savin’

I don’t need help

I faced my demons

Now I am them

Bridge (half-time, whisper → explode)

Look at me now

Still breathin’

Still standin’

You called me cursed

I call it magic

If I’m the villain in your story tonight

At least I’m alive

Final Chorus (bigger, darker)

I stopped prayin’ for forgiveness, I confess

I found power in the parts you hate the best

Yeah I made peace with the monster in my chest

Now I dance with my shadows, yeah I’m finally possessed

I don’t need savin’

I don’t need help

I faced my demons

Now I rule hell

Outro

No more halos

No more chains

I found my crown

In the flames
