Produced by Mark Xenophontos Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos ------------------------ Beggar in the night Shadows come alive Break down the walls now The beast will survive You can't tame it Won't bow down and kneel Wipe away that mask Open up your eyes See through the disguise Wake up from the nightmare Break these chains you wear The beast inside is calling But you don't have to care Stand up from the wreckage Find the truth you've lost Break free from the darkness No matter what it costs Push the world away As it turns its back You chose a lie Lost inside the trap They sold you reflections Built on broken trust This pain is all too real Open up your eyes See through the disguise Wake up from the nightmare Break these chains you wear The beast inside is calling But you don't have to care Stand up from the wreckage Find the truth you've lost Break free from the darkness No matter what it costs The mirror's cracking slowly Watch the false self die No more empty promises No more living lies Wake up from the nightmare Break these chains you wear The beast inside is calling But you don't have to fear Rise up from the ashes Find the truth you've lost Break free from the darkness You're worth any cost Break free from the darkness You're worth any costmore

It's a raw examination of how loneliness can twist love into something that feels both salvation and poison.more
