[Verse 1]
I'm just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy,
Somewhere in between, not quite broken or blind.
Juggling two extremes—forthrightness and lies,
Given to misdeeds, but I've learned to compromise.
[Pre-Chorus]
Healing hands, but the wounds remain,
Plans so grand, they feel like chains.
Ample alms for the few, so rare,
Caring hearts can't find a way to share.
[Chorus]
I’m just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy,
Caught in the middle of this endless void.
Juggling extremes, don’t know which way to fall,
But I’m still standing, after it all.
I’m just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy,
In the middle of the fight, can’t tell which side I’m on,
Caught in between, lost in the line,
But I’m still here, standing strong, I won’t be gone
[Verse 2]
Why is giving so hard when giving is key?
Why is working so tough when inaction breeds misery?
Tell me who’s to blame when the ache is so real?
And who’s really free when we’re drowning in bills?
[Pre-Chorus]
Healing hands, but the wounds remain,
Plans so grand, they feel like chains.
Ample alms for the few, so rare,
Caring hearts can't find a way to share.
[Chorus]
I’m just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy,
Caught in the middle of this endless void.
Juggling extremes, don’t know which way to fall,
But I’m still standing, after it all.
I’m just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy,
In the middle of the fight, can’t tell which side I’m on,
Caught in between, lost in the line,
But I’m still here, standing strong, I won’t be gone
[Bridge]
How are we still alive if we gave away our souls?
How does the world keep turning, spinning out of control?
Is forgiveness born of fear or born of grace?
What’s the cost we pay just to find a place?
[Chorus]
I’m just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy,
Caught in the middle of this endless void.
Juggling extremes, don’t know which way to fall,
But I’m still standing, after it all.
I’m just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy,
In the middle of the fight, can’t tell which side I’m on,
Caught in between, lost in the line,
But I’m still here, standing strong, I won’t be gone…
[Outro]
I’m just shy of a saint, not quite a bad guy
Caught in between, but I’ll survive this fight
Still standing strong, I won’t be gone
Verse 1:
You and I, we’re not the same
We’re worlds apart, like night and day,
You think you know me, but you err,
We’re fading shadows, lost in gray.
You and I, one of us deranged,
Like scribbles on an endless page,
We’ll never find a way to mend,
No matter what, I’ll never stay.
Pre-Chorus:
You think you’re free, but you’re just blind,
Chasing illusions, losing your mind,
I see you through your mask, your lies,
You’ll find you’ve caught up in a bind.
Chorus:
This is the calm before the storm,
The game you thought would keep me home,
You thought you had me, but you’re weak,
I’m your satan in disguise, you’re mortal enemy.
This is the end, your final spin,
The closing sermon whispered on the wind,
You think you can counter with your army of spies,
But you’ll find, I trump you as your monster in disguise.
Verse 2:
You and I, we’re locked in war,
You’ll never win, no matter what you swore,
You twist the truth, you hide your fears,
But I’m the storm that’s drawing near.
You and I, you crave the fake,
You want me shattered, make no mistake,
But I’ll expose what’s underneath,
I’m not the pawn you think you’ll keep.
Pre-Chorus:
You think you’re free, but you’re just blind,
Chasing illusions, losing your mind,
I see through your mask, through your lies,
You’ll find you've caught up in a bind.
Chorus:
This is the calm before the storm,
The game you thought would keep me home,
You thought you had me, but you’re weak,
I’m your satan in disguise, you’re mortal enemy.
This is the end, your final spin,
The closing sermon whispered on the wind,
You think you can counter with your army of spies,
But you’ll find, I trump you as your monster in disguise.
Bridge:
You thought you knew me, but you were blind,
Built your world on broken lies,
You tried to break me, tried to cage,
Now I’m the fire you can’t contain.
I’m the monster you can’t ignore,
The force for goodness you’ll implore,
The storm that’s coming for you now,
It’s too late for you to turn around.
Chorus (2x):
This is the calm before the storm,
The game you thought would keep me home,
You thought you had me, but you’re weak,
I’m your satan in disguise, you’re mortal enemy.
This is the end, your final spin,
The closing sermon whispered on the wind,
You think you can counter with your army of spies,
But you’ll find, I trump you as your monster in disguise.
Outro:
I’m the monster in disguise...
I’m the monster in disguise...
Now you know,
Now you know.
