Consumed

Verse 1
I wore a face I didn’t own,
A borrowed soul, a heart of stone.
Each lie I told became my skin,
A life outside, I let it in.

I laugh too loud, I shine too bright,
But underneath, I lose the fight.
The world believes, they see my spark,
But they don’t know I’ve sold my dark.

Pre-Chorus
I built this mask to keep the pain away,
But now it whispers, “You can’t escape.”

Chorus
I’m consumed by the me I made,
A perfect shadow where I fade.
I hide so deep, I’ve lost the fight,
The mask is real, I’m out of sight.
A life I chose, a life I fear,
The voice inside is all I hear.

Verse 2
It started small, a shield, a game,
But now it laughs and knows my name.
Every secret, every scar I hide,
The mask devours me from inside.

I thought I’d be safe, I thought I’d win,
But now I’m trapped beneath my skin.
It’s stronger than me, it’s all I see,
The persona lives, and it’s swallowing me.

Pre-Chorus
I try to reach the real me beneath,
But all I find is the mask’s teeth.

Chorus
I’m consumed by the me I made,
A perfect shadow where I fade.
I hide so deep, I’ve lost the fight,
The mask is real, I’m out of sight.
A life I chose, a life I fear,
The voice inside is all I hear.

Bridge
I wanted armor, I wanted a friend,
But now the mask is the bitter end.
It knows my secrets, it knows my pain,
It whispers softly, “You’re mine to claim.”

Chorus / Outro (fade hauntingly)
I’m consumed by the me I made,
The shadow laughs where I once stayed.
I hide so deep, I’ve lost the fight,
The mask is real, I’m out of sight.
A life I chose, a life I fear,
The voice inside is all I hear.
