The Creature With-In

[Intro] (Heartbeat… breathing… distant whispers.) You’ve defeated every monster… Or… So you thought… (Mirror cracks.) ⸻ (Verse 1) Every battle… Every victory… Every scar you proudly wear… Standing in the empty silence… Someone’s always waiting there… Every doubt you’ve ever buried… Every fear you tried to hide… Looks back from the broken mirror… With your own familiar eyes… ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) You ran… You fought… You conquered all… Except… Yourself… ⸻ (CHORUS) THE CREATURE WITHIN! Living underneath! THE CREATURE WITHIN! Whispering defeat! Break the mirror! Stand and fight! Drag the darkness… Into light! THE CREATURE WITHIN!! ⸻ (Verse 2) No more blaming… No more hiding… No more waiting… No disguise… Every chain was self-forged iron… Every prison built inside… ⸻ (Breakdown) (Everything stops except breathing.) “You’re not enough…” “You’ll never change…” “Give up…” “Quit…” … NO!! (Massive BLEGH.) **I… AM… NOT… MY… FEAR!!** ⸻ (Bridge) Every creature… Every battle… Every lesson… Led to this… The final enemy… Was never outside… It has always… Lived… Within… ⸻ (FINAL CHORUS) THE CREATURE WITHIN! You hold no power now! THE CREATURE WITHIN! I will not bow! Forge my spirit! Forge my soul! One more rep… Has made me whole! **THE CREATURE… FALLS!!** ⸻ (Outro) (The whispers disappear.) The mirror remains… But the monster… Doesn’t. Because today… You chose… One More Rep.
