THE MONSTER IN HIS HEAD

Lyrics

[INTRO – MALE LEAD, SUNG] I don’t trust a single word There’s something wrong with everything I’ve heard I know they’re hiding something from me But nobody else can see what I see [VERSE 1 – MALE LEAD] I watch your face, I question your eyes I look for answers behind every lie You say it’s nothing, but I know there’s more I don’t believe what I believed before Every conversation feels like a trap I question the truth, I go over the facts I read between lines that were never there I’m losing my mind, but I just don’t care [PRE-CHORUS – FEMALE VOCALS BUILDING] You’re turning against everyone you know Building a prison wherever you go I reach for your hand, you pull away You don’t believe a word I say [CHORUS – MALE LEAD, POWERFUL FEMALE HARMONIES] There’s a monster in his head Turning every thought against him instead He sees betrayal in every face Can’t trust a soul, can’t feel safe He’s fighting battles that nobody knows Building walls everywhere he goes The more he fights, the more he falls The monster inside is taking it all [VERSE 2 – MALE LEAD WITH FEMALE RESPONSES] Male: You think I’m crazy, you think I’m wrong But I’ve been watching this all along Female: You’re pushing away the ones who care There’s no enemy waiting there Male: I know your stories, I know your game You change the subject, you shift the blame Female: I’m standing here, I’m telling the truth But I can’t get through to you [PRE-CHORUS – FEMALE LEAD] You question everything I do Like I’m the one who’s lying to you I never thought I’d see this day When love itself became something you feared [CHORUS – FULL BAND, BOTH VOCALS] There’s a monster in his head Turning every thought against him instead He sees betrayal in every face Can’t trust a soul, can’t feel safe He’s fighting battles that nobody knows Building walls everywhere he goes The more he fights, the more he falls The monster inside is taking it all [BRIDGE – MALE LEAD, BUILDING EMOTION] I can’t explain what’s happening to me I can’t understand what I can’t believe I know you’re trying, but I can’t let go Of all these doubts that control my soul [FEMALE VOCALS – POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL] I’m not your enemy! I’m not the one you need to fight! I’m standing right here! But you’re shutting me out tonight! [GUITAR SOLO – DARK, GRITTY, EMOTIONAL, BUILDING TO EXPLOSIVE] [FINAL CHORUS – FULL POWER, MALE LEAD WITH STRONG FEMALE HARMONIES] There’s a monster in his head Turning every thought against him instead He sees betrayal in every face Can’t trust a soul, can’t feel safe He’s fighting battles that nobody knows Building walls everywhere he goes The more he fights, the more he falls The monster inside is taking it all [OUTRO – MALE THEN FEMALE] Male: I know something’s wrong… I just don’t know who to trust. Female: You don’t have to fight me… Both: But you can’t fight what’s inside your head.
