You keep hurting others because you never took the time to heal when others hurt you. [Verse 1 ] You've worn that mask for way too long Singing the same familiar song "The demon made me do it, can't you see?" But that demon looks a lot like you to me You built a throne out of your misery Crowned yourself the king of tragedy Every bridge you burned, you called it fate Every heart you broke, you called it hate [Pre-Chorus ] But the monster in the mirror Is just a man who chose to disappear Behind a story he could hide inside A comfortable and cowardly disguise [Chorus ] NO MORE HIDING BEHIND THE DARK! NO MORE BLAMING YOUR BROKEN HEART! THE DEMON'S JUST A LIE it doesn’t want me toTELL! TO KEEP YOURSELF INSIDE YOUR HELL! STAND UP! FACE IT! OWN YOUR SHAME! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BREAK THE CHAIN! NO MORE HIDING! [Verse 2 ] You say you're poison, say you're cursed But every day you wake up worse Not because some demon is on your back Because you keep on cutting your own slack Accountability is not a cage It's the first step off a burning stage The guilt you feel? That's a signal flame Not a life sentence, not your name [Pre-Chorus] The past is real, the damage done But you're not finished, you're not done The only way to stop the bleed Is to admit you planted every seed [Chorus] NO MORE HIDING BEHIND THE DARK! NO MORE BLAMING YOUR BROKEN HEART! THE DEMON'S JUST A LIE it doesn’t want me to TELL! TO KEEP YOURSELF INSIDE YOUR HELL! STAND UP! FACE IT! OWN YOUR SHAME! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BREAK THE CHAIN! NO MORE HIDING! [slow burn melodic piano and guitar solo] (Bridge] I know it hurts to look at what you've done To count the faces of the wounded ones But sitting in the ashes doesn't heal the burn And using it as armor means you'll never learn You are not the worst thing that you did You're just a frightened, wounded, grown-up kid But healing starts when you stop running scared And finally admit you were always there [Breakdown.] YOU! WERE! ALWAYS! THERE! YOU! HELD! THE! MATCH! YOU! ARE! NOT! THE! DEMON! BUT YOU! CAN! CHOOSE! TO! CHANGE! [Final Chorus ] NO… MORE… HIDING… BEHIND… THE… DARK! NO… MORE… BLAMING… YOUR… BROKEN… HEART! THE… DEMON'S… JUST… A… LIE… it doesn’t want me to TELL! IT'S TIME… TO… WALK… OUT… OF… YOUR… HELL! STAND… UP… FACE… IT… OWN… YOUR… SHAME! YOU… ARE… THE… ONE… WHO… BREAKS… THE… CHAIN! NO MORE HIDING! [Outro ] The demon's gone… It was never gonna stay there… Just a man… Who was too scared… To heal.
