My band’s new single, “I am the Monster” is out on all streaming platforms now. Lyrically, it’s about anxiety and what it can turn you into, if you let it. Proud of this one. Shout to @trevortbdm for his continued inspiration. RIP 🪦

Lyrics:
This beast seems so familiar
Ravaged me for so long
My dark passenger loathes within
So overwhelmingly strong

Its claws are in my flesh
Feel them dig into my chest
The beast ebbs and flows in the tides
Waiting for the wave to crest
 
It comes crashing over me
Intensity without rival
Desperately seeking something to hold
My obsession becomes survival

Baring my claws
Gnashing my teeth
Anything to distract
From the fear lying beneath
 
Overwhelmed by the beast
I can no longer remand it
The darkness engulfs me
Thrusts my mind into madness

The acid fills my mouth and
I’m prepared to spit at my prey
No containing the rage beneath
Make way for the hideous display

You can smell the fear in the air
When the mask begins to transform
The control to my limbs is gone
The demon is here, I’ve been reborn

There’s no such thing as diplomacy
Now that I’ve had my taste of the thrill
Train your spotlights on the apex predator
With the intent to kill

Throughout my short experience
Prosperity could never be fostered
Joy will always remain out of reach
Because I am the monster.
