Behind the painted scare

Verse 1:

I wake up dead, behind this painted face,

A monster to the masses, a stranger in this place.

My name’s a whispered scream, my music’s the crime,

I’m the shadow on your wall, the fear that’s hard to define.

Chorus:

But underneath the horror, there’s a heart that beats,

A soul that’s searching, for a love that’s hard to reach.

I’m lost in the darkness, of this twisted little stage,

A prisoner of my demons, in this endless rage.

Verse 2:

They see the zombie, the antichrist superstar,

But they don’t see the battle scars, from who I used to be so far.

From the little boy dreams, to the nightmare I’ve become,

I’m still searching for my place, in this world that’s not my home.

Chorus:

But underneath the horror, there’s a heart that beats,

A soul that’s searching, for a love that’s hard to reach.

I’m lost in the darkness, of this twisted little stage,

A prisoner of my demons, in this endless rage.

Bridge:

I’m a reflection of your fears, a monster you’ve designed,

A creature of the darkness, that you’ve left behind.

But in the silence, I hear my heart say,

“There’s still a way, to escape this endless grey.”

Chorus:

‘Cause underneath the horror, there’s a heart that beats,

A soul that’s searching, for a love that’s hard to reach.

I’m lost in the darkness, of this twisted little stage,

A prisoner of my demons, in this endless rage.

Outro:

So I’ll put on my costume, and I’ll play the part,

Of the monster that you want, the demon in your heart.

But deep inside, I’m still searching for the light,

A way to escape, this endless dark of night.
