Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up in a stranger’s bones Teeth on edge Tongue tastes rust Every breath Like glass in the lungs Mirror shakes when I lean in Eyes too bright Pupils split Hear my name But the sound doesn’t fit (doesn’t fit) [Pre-Chorus] I wore the mask too long Now it’s grown under my skin Every lie I used to live Is pulling my veins from within [Chorus] This is the pain of the metamorph skin Tearing me open from under From in I feel the claws where my hands used to be Losing my face just to finally see If I become the monster I fear Will anything of me still be here? This is the pain This is the pain of changing [Verse 2] Nails turn black in the half-light Knuckles crack Jaw unhinged Hear that low New animal hymn (hey!) All the promises I buried Bloom as thorns Down my spine Every choice Growing into a spine [Pre-Chorus] Can’t crawl back to who I was He’s ash under these scales Every scar that starts to glow Spells out my private hell [Chorus] This is the pain of the metamorph skin Tearing me open from under From in I feel the claws where my hands used to be Losing my face just to finally see If I become the monster I fear Will anything of me still be here? This is the pain This is the pain of changing [Bridge] [Roars swell from distant to close Drums build] I am the howl I used to run from (run from) I am the teeth behind the door I am the shadow in my own blood I am the hunger asking “more” [Chorus] This is the pain of the metamorph skin Tearing me open from under From in I feel the claws where my hands used to be Losing my face just to finally see If I become the monster I fear Will anything of me still be here? This is the pain This is the price of changing [Outro] Last human word on a broken breath “My god… What have I been?” (woah) Then the growl Answers back from within

Verses ride a tense half-time groove with distant growls; chorus explodes with layered screams over a wide wall of guitars and sub-heavy kick. Final section pushes double-time blast energy, then cuts to a single ringing chord and fading vocal echo., slow, beats
