The Beast Within

*Verse 1*
A quiet man, a life of routine
A face in the crowd, unseen, un-mean
He follows the rules, a life well-planned
A shadow within, he tries to withstand
But the pressure builds, a constant strain
The world's a cage, a relentless pain
He whispers, "No," but the beast within
Starts to stir, a primal grin.
*Chorus*
The darkness within, a simmering rage
A monster unleashed, turning the page
From gentle to beast, a terrifying change
The darkness within, it's a dangerous game.
*Verse 2*
A single spark, a final blow
The dam breaks loose, a torrent of woe
The world's a canvas, painted in red
The beast is unleashed, its hunger is fed
He sees the faces, their fear and their plight
He's no longer human, bathed in the night
The darkness whispers, "You're free to be bold
Embrace the chaos, let the story unfold."
*Bridge*
He was a man, a soul filled with light
But the darkness consumed him, stole his sight
He's a creature of instinct, a primal force
Fueled by the darkness, taking its course
He feels the power, the thrill of the kill
His humanity shattered, his heart gone still.
*Chorus*
The darkness within, a simmering rage
A monster unleashed, turning the page
From gentle to beast, a terrifying change
The darkness within, it's a dangerous game.
*Verse 3*
He walks the streets, a predator's stride
The world's a jungle, where the strong survive
He sees the fear, the terror in their eyes
He feeds on the chaos, the darkness that lies
Within their hearts, a reflection of his own
He's a monster, a creature alone
The darkness whispers, "You're finally free
Embrace the darkness, it's a part of you and me."
*Outro*
The darkness within, it's a silent scream
A hidden monster, a terrible dream
We all have it, lurking in the dark
It's a part of us, a dangerous spark
So be careful, my friend, the line is thin
Between the monster and the man within.
