Verse 1 (low, trembling, like something waking up)
I feel the fractures stitching into shapes I canāt define,
Like every wound I ever carried learned to sharpen into spine.
The light is burning holes in me, the dark is pulling threads,
And both of them are screaming as they fight inside my head.
Iām standing in the crossfire of the person Iāve been hiding,
The saint that kept on breaking and the monster that kept rising.
But something in the middle starts to whisper through the pain ā
A voice that isnāt either, calling out my name.
PreāChorus (rising, unstable, electric)
Iām not the halo.
Iām not the hunger.
Iām the fire that survives the thunder.
Chorus (explosive, triumphant, violent)
Iām becoming what the war inside me forged,
A creature born of everything Iāve mourned.
Not holy ā not corrupted ā something more.
Iām the fracture turning into form.
Let the ashes fall like warnings from above ā
Iām the child of ruin and of love.
This is the moment I stop running from my skin ā
Iām the becoming,
And Iām not breaking again.
Verse 2 (stronger, steadier, like a new identity forming)
I hear the darkness whisper, but it trembles when I stand,
And even light looks different when itās burning in my hands.
Iām not the broken innocence or shadow you designed ā
Iām the echo of the battle that refused to leave me blind.
Iām walking through the wreckage of the person I once feared,
And every scar is glowing like a prophecy appeared.
Iām not the saint you wanted or the sinner you could claim ā
Iām the storm that learned to carve its own name.
PreāChorus (bolder, almost defiant)
Iām not the halo.
Iām not the hunger.
Iām the fire that survives the thunder.
Chorus (bigger, heavier, layered screams)
Iām becoming what the war inside me forged,
A creature born of everything Iāve mourned.
Not holy ā not corrupted ā something more.
Iām the fracture turning into form.
Let the ashes fall like warnings from above ā
Iām the child of ruin and of love.
This is the moment I stop running from my skin ā
Iām the becoming,
And Iām not breaking again.
Bridge (Kornāstyle breakdown ā whisper ā chant ā scream)
(whisper)
I am the echo.
I am the flame.
I am the one who wonāt die in your name.
(chant, rhythmic)
Not your puppet.
Not your prey.
Not the light you tried to bend or the dark you tried to sway.
(scream)
I AM THE UNION OF THE PARTS YOU COULDNāT OWN.
I AM THE KING OF EVERY BATTLE IāVE OUTGROWN.
I AM THE CHILD OF FIRE, FLESH, AND BONE ā
I AM THE BECOMING,
AND I STAND ALONE.
Final Chorus (anthemic, victorious, cathartic)
Iām becoming what the war inside me forged,
A creature born of everything Iāve mourned.
Not holy ā not corrupted ā something more.
Iām the fracture turning into form.
Let the ashes fall like warnings from above ā
Iām the child of ruin and of love.
This is the moment I stop running from my skin ā
Iām the becoming,
And Iām not breaking again.
