[Instrumental Intro] [Heavy distorted guitar riff with deep driving drums] [Verse 1] The walls are thin, the cage is weak I hear the whispers when I sleep This monster feeding on my pain A bitter drought inside the rain I lock the doors and hide the key From what this monster wants me to be But silence only makes it grow A seed of madness starts to sow [Chorus] I feel it crawling on my skin The war inside where I begin I built these chains to keep it bound Beneath the hallowed, broken ground The Antichrist Inside my head I kill it daily, but instead it's fed On every failure, every lie I watch the monster multiply [Verse 2] I trace the lines upon my face To find the remnants of my grace The reflection lies, it wears my smile But waits patiently for a while To crack the surface, let it bleed And plant the unforgiving seed This constant vigil wears me thin I'm losing ground where I must win [Chorus] I feel it crawling on my skin The war inside where I begin I built these chains to keep it bound Beneath the hallowed, broken ground The Antichrist Inside my head I kill it daily, but instead it's fed On every failure, every lie I watch the monster multiply [Guitar Solo - Melodic and heavy] [Bridge] What if containment is the cure? To let the damage stay obscure? A silent killer, dressed in me A necessary cruelty [Shift to heavy scream/belt] But I will never let it breathe I rip the malice from beneath! Though the fight is endless, cold, and grim I'll sever every twisted limb [Chorus] I feel it crawling on my skin The war inside where I begin I built these chains to keep it bound Beneath the hallowed, broken ground The Antichrist Inside my head I kill it daily, but instead it's fed On every failure, every lie I watch the monster multiply [Outro] [Heavy distortion fades] I'm still breathing... [Whispered echo] The Antichrist Inside... [Final cymbal crash and distorted guitar feedback]
