[Intro - sparse, airy synth pad, atmospheric] [Verse 1 - sparse, ethereal, minimal instrumentation] Moonlight counts the houses down the street Something underneath my skin won't sleep I keep a mirror just to watch it change Waiting for the shape that has no name [Pre-Chorus - building] Don't look at me the old way anymore I'm not who I was before [Chorus - stacked harmonies, full production] I'm not the man you think you see Something ancient wakes in me Wings of fire, teeth of white I was born to own the night [Verse 2 - sparse, tender contrast] She says she sees me, doesn't flinch or run Maybe I could finally set it down But the glass already cracked before she came Now the shape I wear has swallowed my name [Chorus - stacked harmonies] I'm not the man you think you see Something ancient wakes in me Wings of fire, teeth of white I was born to own the night [Bridge - filtered breakdown, tension building, reverse fill transition] Every eye upon a screen Watching how the past made me Locked doors taught me how to hide Now the hunger's satisfied [Final Chorus - massive, layered, full stacked production] I'm not the man you think you see Something ancient wakes in me Wings of fire, teeth of white I was born to own the night [Outro - sparse, airy, fading] Moonlight counts the houses down the street Something underneath my skin still won't sleep [End]
