[Genre: Modern Metal, Nu-Metalcore] [Mood: Dark, Aggressive, Empowering] [Tempo: Mid-Tempo] [Vocals: Male, Clean + Screamed] [Energy: High] [Theme: Inner Conflict, Control vs Chaos, Self-Mastery] [Intro] I feel it breathing under my skin… Waiting. Watching. [Verse 1] I’ve been pacing circles in my mind Shadows crawling up my spine Every promise that I tried to keep Turns into a lie I bleed Pressure building in my chest Hear the drums inside my head I keep smiling for the crowd But I’m losing what I am now [Pre-Chorus] I bite my tongue, I clench my fists I walk the edge I can’t resist Every step I take inside Feeds the fire I try to hide [Chorus] There’s a beast within Scratching at my bones Every time I fall It drags me down below I won’t let it win I won’t lose control I’ll stand in the flame And claim my soul [Verse 2] I hear voices calling me weak Saying I’m the failure they see But I’ve tasted blood and broken teeth And I’m still standing on my feet Every scar’s a lesson learned Every bridge I watched burn If this rage is what I am Then I’ll shape it with my hands [Pre-Chorus] I feel the weight, I feel the pull The monster wants to take control But I decide who I become I am more than what I was [Chorus] There’s a beast within Clawing at my soul Every time I break It wants to take it all I won’t let it win I won’t lose control I’ll stand in the flame And claim my soul [Verse 3] I’ve been drowning in the doubt Wearing chains I never found But I’m done begging for release I’ll make peace with the enemy If this darkness lives in me Then I’ll make it kneel I won’t run, I won’t retreat This power’s finally real [Bridge] You don’t own me You don’t define me I am the cage And the key I won’t be afraid Of what I’ve become [Final Chorus] There’s a beast within But I hold the reins Every scar, every sin Was forged in pain I won’t let it win I won’t fade away I’ll rise from the fire And lead the beast astray [Outro] (Soft to heavy fade) I feel it breathing under my skin… But now it listens.... The Beast Within The Beast WITHIN!
