The monster is me

Monster 

[Intro Soft piano melody, haunting vocals powerful male vocal 1] 
I used to fear the monster under my bed I grew up… so did it, Now, the monster is me.

Ooooooo


[ verse 1 –  deep male voice   ]
I used to check the closet, peek beneath the sheets,  
Afraid of shadows lurking, the nightmares in my dreams.  
Now the shadows are my armor, the nightmares are my creed,  
The monster’s in the mirror, and it’s starin’ back at me.  
This monster’s got skeletons in the closet, a past I failed to bury,  
Now they’re comin’ out the coffin, and there’s no pride left to carry.  
I built this empire on the bones of my fears,  
Turned every tear into venom, every scar into a spear.  
I don’t flinch at the dark, I don’t run from the fight,  
But the monster I’ve become keeps me up at night.  
I used to fear the unknown, now I’m the unknown,  
A beast in the flesh, with a heart turned to stone.  
Every bar I spit is a confession, a plea,  
The monster’s not under the bed—the monster is me.  

[Chorus –  powerful male vocals 1 singing]  
The monsters aren’t beneath my bed,  
They echo in my thoughts instead.  
No beasts I fear, no ghosts I flee,  
For all this time, the monster’s been me.  
Oooooh, Oooooh…  
The monster’s been me.  

[Rap verse 2 –  powerful male vocal 2 Jason]
I used to sing for the stars, now I’m chasin’ the void,  
The boy who loved the guitar is a man destroyed.  
Fame was the mirror, and it showed me the truth,  
The monster I’ve become is the ghost of my youth.  
I traded my soul for the spotlight’s embrace,  
Now the applause is a mask I can’t erase.  
I used to fear the unknown, now I’m the unknown,  
A shadow of myself, with a heart turned to stone.  
Every note I sing is a cry, a plea,  
The monster’s not under the bed—the monster is me.  

[Chorus – powerful male vocal 1 anthemic build up]
The monsters aren’t beneath my bed,  
They echo in my thoughts instead.  
No beasts I fear, no ghosts I flee,  
For all this time, the monster’s been me.  
Oooooh, Oooooh…  
The monster’s been me.  

[Bridge –  male duet Rhyes & Jason]
[Deep Male 2 vocal] "We built these walls to keep the monsters out, but they’re already in.”
[Male vocal 1 “We fought the demons in the dark, but the darkest one’s within.”
[Male vocal 2] “The monster’s not under the bed…” It’s in my head…
[Both] The monster is me! (Meeeeee!)
(The monster is me)

[Outro  – deep male vocal  ]
I don’t blink, I don’t breathe, I just stare at the beast,  
The monster in the mirror, the hunger in the feast.  
I used to fear the unknown, now I’m the unknown,  
A king of the shadows, on a crumbling throne.  
Every step I take, every word I speak,  
The monster’s not under the bed—it’s the monster in me
