burn my light

Lyrics

{We both know I'm not the story's bad guy,
But you need a villain, so I won't even try.
I'll be the monster that you need to blame,
In a world of silence, only tears know my name.}
- Verse:
Emptiness takes hold,
emotions start to fray,
Pushing back the help,
alone I'll stay.
Hiding who I am,
my pain stays concealed,
In the quiet of the fight,
my fate is sealed.
- Chorus:
Is this reality or just a dream?
Concealed within the shadows,
Unseen pain, a silent stream.
Demons we all hold,
hidden in disguise,
Together in solitude,
beneath identical skies.
They try to burn my light
As i try to fight the monster inside.
- Verse 2:
"Am I pretty enough?"
the mirror hears me plead,
"Maybe this won't do, is this what they need?"
My weakness stays hidden,
buried deep inside,
I used to ask every day,
my fears I'd confide.
- Chorus:
Is this reality or just a dream?
Concealed within the shadows,
Unseen pain,
a silent stream.
Demons we all hold,
hidden in disguise,
Together in solitude,
beneath identical skies.
They try to burn my light
As i try to fight the monster inside.
- Verse 3:
I used to be a prisoner,
trapped by what they'd think,
Insecure and faltering, on the very brink.
But now I stand unmasked,
no more a silent liar,
- Chorus:
Is this reality or just a dream?
Concealed within the shadows,
Unseen pain, a silent stream.
Demons we all hold,
hidden in disguise,
Together in solitude,
beneath identical skies.
They try to burn my light
As I try to fight the monster inside.
- Bridge
Mirror's question, "Am I enough?"
Seeking approval,
I act so tough.
Hidden weakness,
a silent plea,
Longing for someone to truly see me.
- Chorus:
Is this reality or just a dream?
Concealed within the shadows,
Unseen pain, a silent stream.
Demons we all hold,
hidden in disguise,
Together in solitude,
beneath identical skies.
They try to burn my light
As i try to fight the monster inside.
- Outro
No more shadows,
no more lies,
Unveiling the truth that in darkness lies.
