Full Song Release: Creature Feature

SURPRISE! Have the song 4 days early.

You brand this curse upon my name

I damn your venom to the flame

One final glance to ghosts of yore

Shall blind our eyes to meet no more

This monster you have made, in turn

Shall see your soul forever burn

Hold your screams, the lights are turning low

A gnashing fever dream of a haunted picture show

Cause you're in for a fright

Guided by the lantern light, so

Please hold your questions, we're raising the curtains

It's high time we started the show

In the dead of night, our hero's waiting

Beneath the mask it lies, the face he's saving

And to his surprise, a well of terror filled his eyes, oh

Wretched and broken, his lies as a token, his creature was ready to go

Oh, what a monster you have made of me

Amusing, I was seen as a pet, just a meal to wet your teeth

And the scene's all in your head, it's red, let's see that the monster is fed

We bled, the dread, your terror is back from the dead

Look at him, standing proud and tall

Composing harmonies in the highest hallowed hall

But his creature of the night lies waiting for a bite

His monster is ravenous, out of the shadows

It's ready to swallow him whole

And now he's face to face, with his creation

All the bone displaced, in his fixation

Try as he might, there was never an end in sight

Creator look nearer, your monster's a mirror, revenge is delicious when cold

Oh, what a prison you had made for me

Refusing to be forced to a cell, crying out in unheard pleas

And it's all just empty threats, regrets, I'm tired of paying your debts

Forget this duet, I'm finally burning the set

Creator look closer, your monster's a mirror

You cast me aside to see yourself clearer

Unmask your deceit, the lie's lost it's shimmer

These roles would have fit if you had been sincerer

I'm not just some scene, you wish you'd shot better

I have my own dreams, I won't let them bitter

You left me in pieces, 'cause you're so damn clever

These wounds can be healed, you'll be broken forever

What does it mean? Where did it come from

Am I even seen? Behind this old bass drum

The world spins around me I can't even fathom

I'm nothing to you, am I just a phantasm

So, you ask how the story ends

Are the sinner and the devil on a path to make amends

Though the curtain falls the story's written on the walls so

It's only Act 1 you're still in for some fun so let's wait and just see where this goes

Why did it have to end this way

I refuse to be the monster you made to fit your charade

Escape the past, be buried, and embrace the slow decay

How the show will go on is only for me to say
