It's better than nothing The air in your lungs The power in your bones Oh, the shade you've become You've life left and that's more Than others can say You scrub at their blood But it won't wash away You say it's fine Truthfully, it's far from it You pretend like the best And you won't tell a soul If nobody knows you Then no one can harm you You're capable. You've got it Under control So you never speak out 'Cause no one would understand And you never reach out 'Cause no one could lend a hand But I know who you are Under the mask You're just a girl Screaming into the void Though you've fortified You're haunted inside From watching all that you love Burned and destroyed It creeps into your dreams Infecting your bloodstream The monster they made you She lurks underneath Clench your fists and become her A new brand of thunder But watch you don't choke the world With your new teeth Over and over you run it Through in your head Trying to find a way out That you've ignored until now There's nowhere to go Still you're searching alone The alternative's asking for help And you just can't do that After all, someone might Listen to your cries What could be worse? I know the stories you tell yourself Like you're the only one And you have to do it alone Are you so proud you'd Forsake the world? Just so you don't have to hear I know who you are Under the mask You're just a girl Screaming into the void Though you've fortified You're haunted inside From watching all that you love Burned and destroyed It creeps into your dreams Infecting your bloodstream The monster they made you She lurks underneath Clench your fists and become her A new brand of thunder But watch you don't choke the world With your new teeth The tides, everchanging They will drag you under If you step into their pull If you let down your guard Given half the chance They'll tear you asunder You're not unbreakable Build up the walls of your heart If you hope to survive In this terrible world Say it over and over again This is not how it ends It'll all be for naught If you crumble, if you give in I know who you are Under the mask You're just a girl Screaming into the void Though you've fortified You're haunted inside From watching all that you love Burned and destroyed It creeps into your dreams Infecting your bloodstream The monster they made you She lurks underneath Clench your fists and become her A new brand of thunder But watch you don't choke the world With your new teeth
