Welcome to the Midnight ( X Ørion)

[Spoken Intro] Look in the mirror… It’s getting harder to recognize the face staring back. They tell you to embrace the light. Keep smiling. Keep moving. But nobody tells you how to survive when the sun goes down. Welcome to the midnight. [Fast Rap Verse] I been a prisoner, stuck in a cylinder, cold as a winter, the venom is sinister, Mind is a maze and the demon’s the minister, feeding my brain with the pain he administers. Trapped in the catacombs, shattered the battle domes, walking through shadows, I’m rattling hollow bones. Nobody listening, misery glistening, cutting my ties to the world I was living in. They want a smile, they want a fake, Want me to swallow the pills for the ache. I’m at the bottom, I’m swimming the lake, Holding my breath till the levee will break. I am the villain they love to create, Heavy the burden, I’m pulling the weight. Watch as I elevate, let ’em debate, I turn the trauma to something they hate! [Building Pre-Chorus] You don’t know what it’s like in the dark. You don’t know how it feels when the silence starts to scream. I’ve been fighting a bloody war in my own head… And I’m starting to think the enemy is me. [Massive Anthemic Chorus] Welcome to the midnight! Where the shadows come alive! I’ve been burying the pain, but the ghosts always survive! I don’t need your sympathy! I don’t need your light! I was born inside the storm, I was built to fight the night! When the mirror cracks… I won’t run away. When the demons attack… I will make ’em pay. Welcome to the midnight! [Aggressive Rap Verse] Losing my sanity, studying vanity, watching the tragic collapse of humanity. I am the casualty, defying gravity, jumping right into the mouth of the cavity. Tell me I’m crazy, tell me I’m lost, Everything comes with a terrible cost. Walking barefoot through the permafrost, Carrying bridges I’ve already crossed. They wanna medicate, sedate the heavy weight, lock me away in a padded estate, But I’m the leviathan, I am defying them, lighting a fire and burning the gate! I am the monster you made in the basement, Look at the scars and the hollow defacement. I am the panic, the erratic replacement, Tearing the bricks from the literal pavement! [Quiet Piano Bridge] Tick. Tock. The clock stops. The whole world sleeps, but my mind runs. I used to be afraid of the monsters under the bed. Now… I’m just afraid of the thoughts in my head. Let 'em out. [Epic Final Chorus] Welcome to the midnight! Where the shadows come alive! I’ve been burying the pain, but the ghosts always survive! I don’t need your sympathy! I don’t need your light! I was born inside the storm, I was built to fight the night! When the mirror cracks… I won’t run away. When the demons attack… I will make ’em pay. Welcome to the midnight! [Outro] Welcome to the midnight… Welcome to the midnight! [Outro] Welcome to the midnight… (Fades out)
