(Verse 1 — tight, rhythmic, chug-driven) Night is my mask, I wear it tight, Hiding the truth, Afraid of the light. The clock ticks slow — A thief of time, I’m running circles in my mind. But when dawn breaks, Will I feel free, Or will the mask stay part of me? (Pre-Chorus — octave leads widen the space) Pink stripes blaze in the midnight fight, Agility cuts like a razor bite, My heartbeat thunders on the edge of spite — A new mask rises, and I ignite. (Chorus — soaring topline, layered distortion) I’m America’s answer to Tiger Mask’s fight, A Panther born in the ruins of night. High-flyer rage when I take to the sky, Triple moonsault screaming as I defy. Is this me… or the predator inside? The mask digs deep — nowhere left to hide. (Verse 2 — gritty, syncopated chugs) Every step I take, the lines all blur, Is Ramone still here, or is he just a whisper? This painted fury claws into my skin, A beast awakened — I let him in. Frankensteiner snap like a breaking chain, Powerbomb thunder shaking through my veins. Diamond-cutter silence, super-kick strike — My psyche fractures under arena lights. (Pre-Chorus — tension riffs climbing) Pink stripes burn where the shadows cling, I don’t know where I end or where the mask begins. Fight-spirit roaring as I take flight — A Punk Panther forged in the heart of night. (Chorus — soaring again, harmonized lead guitar) I’m America’s answer to Tiger Mask’s fight, A Panther born in the ruins of night. High-flyer rage when I take to the sky, Triple moonsault screaming as I defy. Is this me… or the predator inside? The mask digs deep — nowhere left to hide. (Bridge — atmospheric, emotional lift) Is this courage… or camouflage? Am I breaking free… or slipping farther off? Under the spotlight, truth takes its toll — The mask isn't armor — it’s becoming my soul. (Final Chorus — biggest emotional hit) I’m America’s answer to Tiger Mask’s fight, A Panther born in the ruins of night. Mid-air fury when my shadow strikes, Pink-striped phantom haunting the lights. If I tear this mask off — will I survive? Or is he the only one keeping me alive?
