I am the One

Verse 1

Shiver through the glass, your eyes refuse

Shards of the truth, pressing in, bruised

One word, and the walls bend down

No more holding on—

Gentle—never my design

I linger, lean in, torn-out spine

I am the shadow your father warned

Beneath the laughter, storms are formed

I am the hunger beneath your calm

Two words—run now

Collapse.

Chorus (Duet)

I am the one you should fear, my dear

Voices tumbling, crashing near

You search for solace, not found here

I am the one

You should fear, my dear

Verse 2 (Male Vocalist)

Cold hands clasp the edge of sleep

Three steps inside, I creep so deep

You wanted mercy, mercy isn’t free

Inside your wildest dream,

I’m the wind in the keyhole

Dread in the dawn, love on hold

A prayer caught in a web of wires

Another hope, another liar

Wait

Don’t—turn around, let me stay

Shout it, silenced anyway

Chorus (Vocal Group)

I am the one you should fear, my dear

I am the storm pounding near

I am the word you dread to hear

I am the one you should fear, my dear

Bridge (Duet with String Arrangement)

Stumble through questions

Count my confessions

Fall for fractures I never show

Say you know me—you don’t know

Say you know me—you don’t know

Shatter my name and I remain whole

Chorus

I am the one you should fear, my dear

You see my reflection but never clear

You call me back—I disappear

I am the one

You should fear, my dear

Outro (Grand Piano & Male Vocal)

Watch for my shape in every tear

I am the one you should fear, my dear

My dear

My dear

I am the one you should fear

I am the one you should fear, my dear
