Innocent Dreams Turning Black

Verse 1
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness.
You saw the sun, you thought it would be harmless.
I gave my trust, you paid with pain,
I showed you light, you worshipped rain.
You had a smile and played your part,
Then with your hands you squished my heart.

You call it love when you control,
You call it care when you destroy.
You break the glass, then blame the floor,
You kill the dream, then ask for more.

Don't give your smile to those who make you cry,
Don't touch the hands that keep you terrified.
They'll steal your soul and call it justified,
Then stand beside the grave and simply smile.

Abandoned and disrespected,
Every touch makes me infected.
You wanted weakness so I became
The thing you should have never awakened.

Pre-Chorus
Innocent dreams are turning black,
Every betrayal leaves a thin crack.
You pushed me down, I came back changed —
Now something hungry wears my face.

Chorus
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness!
I buried the person you used to know.
Don't give your smile to those who make you cry!
Let the beast inside come alive.

Cruelty and the beast,
Let the sacred dance begin
No going back, stay in the mist
And face what's within!

Verse 2
Blame everybody but yourself,
Put your guilt upon somebody else.
Every mistake becomes their crime,
Every lie gets dressed as truth in no time.

You never looked into the mirror,
You only searched for someone near.
Someone to carry all your shame,
Someone to blame for what you became.

The fragile light of pure love
Was never made to feed your lust.
You touched it with your filthy hands,
Then wondered why it turned to dust.

Innocent dreams beneath the skin,
Still screaming where the dark begins.
I hear them scratching through the cage —
A little more, and I unleash the rage.

Bridge
Who is the monster?
The one who screams?
The one who lies?
The one who dreams?

The one who breaks
what he cannot own?
Or the one who smiles
while destroying a soul?

Look at yourself.
Don't look away.
Your own reflection
knows your name.

Final chorus
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness!
I buried the person you used to know.
Don't give your smile to those who make you cry!
Let the beast inside come alive.

Cruelty and the beast,
Let the sacred dance begin
No going back, stay in the mist
And face what's within!
