Hostile Takeover

(Verse 1) Yo, pick up the pace, I’m erasing the face Of the ghost in the mirror that was taking up space! I’m a pyromaniac, I’m lighting the match, To every bridge I ever built, yeah, I’m starting from scratch. You want the "old me"? Well, he’s dead and he’s gone, Buried in the dirt with his light turned on! I’m a frantic, cinematic, problematic soul, But I’m the only one in here who’s got the remote control! (Chorus) The voices in my head are screaming "get out!" I’m the only monster I’m thinking about! There’s a power in the black, there’s a fire in the hole, I’m taking back control of the parts that they stole! Yeah, the monster in me is the only thing real, I’ve forgotten the way that I used to feel! (Verse 2) Step back! Watch the way I operate, I’m the one you love to hate, I don’t even hesitate! I’m a glitch, I’m a virus, I’m the ghost in the machine, I’m the loudest motherfucker that you’ve ever heard or seen! You can take your "yesterday" and throw it in the trash, I’m the fire in the building, I’m the secondary crash. I don’t care about the past, I don’t care about the cost, I’m the winner in a game that you already lost! I’m the king of the "new," I’m the one you gotta fear, The only thing that matters is that I’m the one that’s here! (Chorus) The voices in my head are screaming "get out!" I’m the only monster I’m thinking about! There’s a power in the black, there’s a fire in the hole, I’m taking back control of the parts that they stole! Yeah, the monster in me is the only thing real, I’ve forgotten the way that I used to feel! (Verse 3) I can feel it in my marrow, I can feel it in my teeth, There’s a jagged-edge blade sticking out from underneath! I’m spitting out the venom, I’m coughing up the rust, I’m watching every memory turn into fucking dust! My heart is a piston, my blood is gasoline, I’m the most violent thing that you’ve ever fucking seen! I’m ripping through the skin, I’m breaking every bone, I’m a cold-blooded killer sitting high on the throne! I’m the predator now, I’m the wolf at the door, And the "me" you used to know doesn't live here anymore! (Bridge) It’s quiet now... The voices aren't screaming, they’re starting to hum, They’re waiting to see what I’ve finally become. I’m not the victim, I’m not the mistake, I’m the heavy lifting that you couldn’t take! I am the feedback! I am the noise! And I’m taking back all of my fucking toys! (Chorus) The voices in my head are screaming "get out!" I’m the only monster I’m thinking about! There’s a power in the black, there’s a fire in the hole, I’m taking back control of the parts that they stole! Yeah, the monster in me is the only thing real, I’ve forgotten the way that I used to feel!
