I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
An angel that's fallen
I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster
With a bang
I feel my heart start to separate
The enemy within
can no longer be contained
I'm running from myself
There's something inside of me and it's ripping a hole through my... chest.
I spit the fire from my lungs
The creature I buried is now the beast that I've become
We pretend that we can be somebody else
But heaven's judgment's nothing when you're already in hell
So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out
(This is the end of broken me)
They call me to the lights
I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
the angel that's fallen
I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster
I feel so god damn tired
I can't escape the things I've lost
The cycle repeats and repeats
and I can't turn the fucking power off
I hate the things I'm not
and I'm sick of how this has to end
I tried to reason with you
but now all of you are fucking dead
I am the living dead
We are the living dead
I walk through hell alone
and none of you can save me now
So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same
I'll never the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out
(This is the end of broken me)
They call me to the lights
Their voices just like thunder
They call me to the lights
but I've become the hunter
I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
the angel that's fallen
I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster

[@harmeetstoff4913]

the beginning gave off such a "motionless in white" feel

[@magikbaku5502]

True

[@anawsomeninjabatmanboy7693]

+harmeet horan. sooooooo true

[@mizzlegend1]

+harmeet horan. yasssss

[@orionmelton3226]

+harmeet horan. Can't really argue with that.

[@atka0076]

+harmeet horan. Lol no.

[@vegeta0325]

The part where it goes, "they call me to the lights, their voices just like thunder." Always gets me! Gosh i love that part!!!!!

[@xTrailOfFirex]

I thought I was the only one.... I need a replay just on that part.

[@undeadcreatureix7369]

As do I

[@jordangreydanus]

chills

[@heri121]

I thought I was listening to Motionless In White in the beginning for a second haha.

[@ryannichols8779]

same here dude. it scared me for a sec XD

[@XxAcexMetalxFreakxX]

Motionless in White? It reminds me way more of Of Mice & Men

[@zoner1321]

aconway231 Did you just agree to your own comment?

[@bellHU4L]

I thought the exact thing!

[@TRNMittens]

XxAcexMetalxFreakxX Oh, get the fuck out.

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

This type of song is exactly what I was excited for off of this album and they didn't disappoint

[@zrabbit6314]

he says apathy from the line "murderer of apathy" the exact same way he says apathy in the line "im sick of apathy" in the fallout, i kept on expecting him to say "dictating how i think and how i talk"

[@kelleycheatham1963]

The sirens in the back. Lolololol. Love this song

[@ItsZifx]

Sets the mood lol

[@Anton_Glz]

0:16 I AM A MUSTARD!

[@snailman4395]

These are some of the best lyrics i've ever heard. This band fucking rocks the skies.

[@broudontgetit]

I saw this the first time they played it at Warped in Noblesville, Indiana! They were amazing!

[@savinthraben]

I was there too :D

[@horseleggs]

1st time they played it was in Texas.

[@HikingOut12]

First time listening to these guys in about 2 years, it's amazing the transformation. Loving the new sound.

[@kakushi27]

Sounds better in the live video for some reason.

[@PatTanzi]

I AM THE SPLINTER BENEATH YOUR SKIN!
I AM THE DUST THAT DONT GO IN THE PAN!

[@sydneyhollis1276]

I know this is like 2 years after this comment but I read it as it was sung 😂. Perfect timing ✌🏻

[@Thunem1]

A little late to checking out this album, but cant stop listening

[@deniselontok6807]

this band is so underrated i am baffled.

[@tobiasgreven254]

Dude, they're far from underrated.

[@brennonfort8715]

Please, these guys are overrated. Their first EP was amazing, then they put out their first full length, to me, I hated it, didn't find it interesting in the slightest but they blew up, so far this albums 100000% better.

[@IamTheRiverand]

This album charted number 7. Considering they're a metalcore band and this is their second album, they're far from underrated.

[@tobiasgreven254]

***** second, their first was an EP

[@zachestes1674]

Exactly they're an amazing band with a genuine sound! :)

[@Pepper_Jvck]

2:10 Jesus that high.
And people say that Dave’s screams are monotonous. Sounds like something off of Stand Up and Scream by AA.

[@whispermyecho]

Nothing this band does will ever dissapoint me. This album is unreal! Love these guys

[@immortal9379]

This is Sparta #1.

[@drozkelly5626]

This song by Crown The Empire enchant me

[@cameronjoyner1287]

This band is incredible eveything about it is great I've listened to them since their ep and they have gotten much better since
then

[@shamus248]

Boy band? This shit is fucking hardcore

[@ethanm3043]

Boy bands would be way better if this was the standard

[@tommyjeffers8991]

Hey Shamus what's up man what u doing here I thought u only liked get scared

[@shamus248]

I love a lot of bands man

[@tommyjeffers8991]

How u been

[@tommyjeffers8991]

Haven't heard from u in a while

[@jonne_koo]

i feel like Of Mice & Men already did this song with I'm A Monster ha

[@shiro12okami69]

Best Song they ever created, I listened to it countless times already, and I’m always going back to listening to it, all time favorite for me.But in general Crown the Empire is one of the best Bands anyway=)

[@jgfffffffhjiufdddj]

i remember crowd surfing to this at warped tour. ugh💞

[@jdcampos16]

The one part, "The enemy within can no longer be contained. I'm running from myself" sounds better live imo. But this song kills either way, Dave and Andy are beasts.

[@デッドエゼキエル]

What’s the Song at 3:30?
Sorry I’m new to this band c:

[@rayanalebre177]

Bones exposed

[@briannacatarina2471]

LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@pattyngo5182]

THIS IS THE SEXIEST SONG I'VE EVER HEARD. Omfg Dave damn

[@dinaa6588]

is it weird that this is the only metalcore band i listen to? i usually dont like screaming in a song but when Dave is screaming its fucking awesome he really sounds like a monster

[@exxtella]

1:55 you're welcome

[@GrAvYxxBooN]

I fucking love this album. & I'm probably going to get shit talked for this, but does anyone else think Dave sounds like Danny Worsnop at the beginning of the song when he's kind of whispering into the mic?

[@damiennoftsier3646]

He sounds more like chris motionless of motionless in white at the beginning.

[@Per_Anders]

We'll you haven't gotten bashed yet, just slightly corrected but, I can't agree either way because I don't listen to either band

[@triumphhampton2923]

I think there are a few songs on the album where it sounds like dannys newer stuff so Ur not alone lol

[@mattozaa]

URF, you listen to Crown the Empire? :O Oh and btw, when is U.R.F coming back?

[@NaruAMV1]

Damien Noftsier ACTUALLY. Sounds like Marilyn Manson. But, that's where Chris got his recent sound, so I mean, lol.

[@6MaryGoore6]

The beginning reminds me of when kids get too close to their mic on an online game and then they proceed to earrape you and yell st you

[@christian2206]

I am the splinter underneath your skin,
I am a MNSTR

[@jombr3597]

The title reminds me of Thnks Fr Th Mmrs

[@PincMaster22]

True

[@popegeorgelucasii933]

I miss the old Fall out boy :/

[@damonvaati9909]

For a second I believed this was Motionless in White when I first heard it 0-0 Really good song though!

[@lizzy122011]

Fire Heart SAMEEE

[@BIGMONEY121900]

I'll have to listen to it

[@Briannamurfy]

Fav song!!

[@EeFynf]

I though the MNSTR stood for "minister"...

[@finnvoice]

I thought I was the only one that thought that lol

[@deliore9861]

"I'm not the only one"
-Slipknot

[@willarddelapus971]

Hahahha

[@tiramisu_225]

Same here

[@imnocritice4342]

this album is sooo good.

[@astri2012]

This song alwyas get my hyped

[@triumphhampton2923]

This album is mother fuckin sick. So proud of you guys. Don't listen to anything the haters say. I have seen the growth from limitless to this and it's amazing. You guys are keeping it heavy and staying true to your style, the whole reason peeps love you guys. And for every one bad comment I've seen, there's a hundred more saying this is hard core af so there's that too lol

[@andrewdanis]

By far the best song on the album. Not sure how i feel about the rest of it however

[@Doryuukatsu]

OMFG
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG

[@destinyhunt4001]

God. They're literally amazing. This has to be one of my favorite songs, I am a newer fan, and this is the album that I first listened to. Hella good. 💜👍👌

[@jordanholland1720]

They filmed the video for this at the Charlotte, NC Warped Tour so I might be in it!

[@michaelwright4343]

They also filmed for it at Milwaukee Wisconsin

[@lildeath220]

Nice post hardcore just right there!!

[@WAROFTHESPACECAKES]

MiW vibes here..

[@WAROFTHESPACECAKES]

And Of Mice & Men, in a sense..

[@Briannamurfy]

Yes & no. ^ gtfo! Not even like of mice & men! ✋

[@anthonyhowes8125]

Mally Z This is set up like an OM&M song and Dave's vocals shared the style that Austin uses live.

[@WAROFTHESPACECAKES]

Anthony Howes That is what I was getting at :)

[@jamespostlethwaite7799]

motionless in white has more dynamic instrumentals i think (lots of high synth and lead guitar during the verses and chorus) but yeah its got some cool aspects!

[@keganbeister103]

They did a live music video for this in tampa. This song kicked ass live

[@CosmicSteph]

call it stupid or whatever, but I was pretty angry so I started playing A Call To Arms and MNSTR to see if I'd calm down. It actually worked lol. I started doing that scream whispering thing and it made me forget about the thing that made me upset haha😂👌

[@velocity9_flash723]

2:45 is the best part in my opinion

[@hcwaytobe1104]

In my opinion the best part is 1:55-2:31 the rage that’s building up in his voice that leads up to him releasing it when he does the scream gives me chills every time, amazing song.

[@spnsam7824]

For some reason I’ve got so much anger in me right now and this song is fueling my fire

[@andyaction2679]

I did a cover of this song on my channel. It's probably my favorite off the album. Saw it live too it was amazing.

[@anasage3440]

I saw this son live too they did soooo good they are so good live

[@alternative_action]

+andyaction2679 I get to see them live for Warped Tour and I can't wait! I've never seen them live!

[@hvmesick]

always gonna be one of cte's best

[@arief9860]

it gives me chills

[@justin01136]

Wow that’s exactly what I needed to hear

[@captainmorgane4409]

SEEING THEM AT WARPED TOMORROW IN VA BEACH. SO EXCITED(:

[@charliepittman3608]

Love this song

[@23black061]

DAVE DESTROYS THE SHIT OFF OF THIS ALBUM

[@silvercat18]

Damn this is good.

[@ChristinaPh]

I don't really like these kind of screams but I really like this song and Machines!

[@alexdatuin1723]

Screams so good

[@eragon46]

[@arianadiamonds9785]

I'm in Love!

[@CarlosSanchez-ms8vg]

Amazing

[@nyxofdusk]

That scream on 2:12 gave me chills

[@MIWAAADTR99]

[@bizman962]

[@evemidnight6599]

This...describes what I've been feeling for so long. Is that bad? Ha

[@carbonio1450]

[@teabrickss]

[@FeEdThEmAcHiNe23]

So freaking amazing seriously.

[@xXWinter720Xx]

[@daisycullen4286]

[@Divineshow7]

Holy shit that was awesome

[@tristananvilcaster]

Too EPIC

[@Theren_Alister_XIII]

the lyrics of the third to last verse were really messed up in the description, but other than that it was a great video and a really good song.

[@xPinoOG]

[@VaxxGamingg]

PERFECT:)

[@ventuswayfinder8133]

I AM A MONSTER

[@bankasai3120]

the fact that ventus is you pic makes this just funny.

[@ventuswayfinder8133]

Ban Kasai That's why I said it

[@cheetahzax]

i love this song, wish i could also get just the instrumentals of it lol.

[@noahharper8943]

1:46 he's sounds like the singer for periphery

[@dysomniah8854]

Crown the empire -Motionless in white ?

[@TheSkyrunnersparkour]

That chorus doe

[@samhewitt4968]

Fucking love this whole album xD

[@Murakami26]

i loveee it , damn ♥ :3

[@lukepries5878]

Does anyone know if this song is copyrighted? I'd like to use it for a wrestling entrance

[@Avstin_]

This song would fit perfectly as a Tokyo Ghoul theme

[@undeadcreatureix7369]

No, but more of an AMV then anything

[@mercurybean2032]

The tittle is spelled like a scene girl would do it. lol

[@TheTyrant6]

"Tittle" xD

[@razsahk3952]

I like tits.

[@posterchildx]

You talk about scene girls but yet your "last name" on here is Sykes. Go away.

[@fishy000]

Mreli1988 Sykes is a real last name. Jesus Christ. If you're going to insult her, at least make it something that you know for sure.
For example, I'll insult her profile picture.
A duck-face? Really? Nice ultra-saturated filter to make you look more tanned. Also, the way you force attention to your Batman bracelet just screams "zomg look how much of a nerd i am".
This is how you insult someone. And, for the record, this is in no way serious. It's meant to be a joke, so save your comments about how mean I am or whatever.

[@posterchildx]

Calla Doran
Too long to read. but you really believe her last name is sykes? lmfao

[@hurpadurpanna6677]

I enjoy this c: when i first heard this, holy shizz nuts i nearly died of happiness OuO

[@CheekyKleurling]

Fire 🔥🎸🤘🏼

[@heyyclarky2084]

2:57 i am a bacon

[@chevelakircher5101]

I just saw them play this live at warped

[@KeYBuMp1017]

Epic

[@mo3753]

who else came back here asap after hearing the deluxe edition album

[@farahnineteenable]

Why do they somehow sound like the plot in you in some parts but still, great song!

[@Theren_Alister_XIII]

This song really reminded me of Bleach, the transformation from soul to hallow.
