Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I used to give without a shield
Let every promise feel too real
I trusted words, I trusted hands
Never counted what it cost to stand
They took the fire, left the ash
Called it fate, I called it past
Now every mirror shows a scar
Tracing who they said we are
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to stay the same inside
But something dark learned how to rise
[Chorus]
Look at the shape I never meant to wear
Built from the damage left right there
I’m not the monster they declared
I’m the proof of every tear
I was soft, now I’m stone
Not by choice, but overgrown
This isn’t evil, this is what I’ve become
When mercy bleeds and hope is gone
[Verse 2]
Every time I reached for peace
The ground gave way beneath my feet
I learned the truth the hard way through
Kindness breaks before it bruises you
They call me cold, they call me changed
Like pain doesn’t rewrite your name
I tried to swim, I tried to stay
But every wave pulled me away
[Pre-Chorus]
I begged my heart to stay humane
But survival speaks a different language
[Chorus]
Look at the shape I never meant to wear
Built from the damage left right there
I’m not the monster they declared
I’m the proof of every tear
I was soft, now I’m stone
Not by choice, but overgrown
This isn’t evil, this is what I’ve become
When mercy bleeds and hope is gone
[Bridge]
If I sound sharp, it’s ‘cause I learned
Soft voices don’t get heard
If I stand tall behind these walls
It’s ‘cause I fell too far to crawl
I didn’t wake up wanting war
I just stopped opening the door
[Chorus]
Look at the shape I had to wear
To survive what waited there
I’m not the villain they accuse
I’m what was left when trust was used
I was fire, now I’m steel
Still alive, still can feel
This isn’t darkness for the fun
This is who I had to become
[Outro]
I didn’t lose myself for none
This is the shape of what I’ve become
