Burning Beast

Verse 1

Since the first time I could feel

Something whispered in my bones

A hunger deep within (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Never fit their painted smile

Every mask I tried to wear

Would crack beneath my skin (oh, oh, oh, oh)

If I showed you what I am

Would you lock the door on me?

If the air turns cold and still

Would you run scared?

I keep hearing all the time

That the rot is born inside

And it’s growing under my skin

Pre-Chorus

I’m just a shadow with fire to blind me

Clawing my way out before it can bind me

Chorus (Light Tongue Twister)

Beast breath breaks the blackened night

Biting back, but the burn feels right

Bound by the beat of the beast inside

Breathing in shadows, I can’t hide

---

Verse 2

Tell me, could I wash it clean

If the blood is mine to keep?

Or will it stain for life? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Never begged for this to come

But the curse has claimed my lungs

And it’s breathing in my night (oh, oh, oh, oh)

If I showed you what I am

Would you burn the bridge to me?

If my eyes start turning black

Would you still stay?

Every step I try to take

Drags me deeper in the ache

Where the dark knows my name

Pre-Chorus

I’m just a shadow with fire to blind me

Clawing my way out before it can bind me

Chorus (Light Tongue Twister)

Beast breath breaks the blackened night

Biting back, but the burn feels right

Bound by the beat of the beast inside

Breathing in shadows, I can’t hide

---

Bridge

Whispers wound and the walls close in

Every sin’s got a shadowed twin

The deeper I run, the closer it gets

The beast in my chest won’t let me forget

---

Final Chorus (Light Tongue Twister)

Beast breath breaks the blackened night

Biting back, but the burn feels right

Bound by the beat of the beast inside

Breathing in shadows, I can’t hide
