Transform Me

Intro

I kept the piece

I bit my tongue

carried blamed for everyone

every room said play it nice

every wound had a price

I wore the mask.

They handed me quiet strength and sympathy, but the truth behind my grin was a war I couldn’t win.

Verse one

I fixed the cracks you left behind

turned your chaos into mine

held the line while you all slept

counted every promise kept

every time the story spread

I just bowed my guilty head

Let you paint me black and wrong

just to keep the moment calm.

Chorus

But if I’m the monster in your head,

then I’ll become the thing you said

no more bending just to please

no more crawling on my knees

you can have the saint

I was dying quietly

because all the weight you placed on me finally set the monster free

Verse two

I built the wall

walls you leaned against,

took the blows without defense

every shout behind closed doors.

Every silence I ignored

You called it strength

to stay composed,

but every year the pressure rose

every favor every scar

left another welded bar

Chorus

But if I’m the monster in your head,

then I’ll become the thing you said

no more begging for your grace

no more smile on my face

you can keep the man I was.

He broke slowly

every lie you threw at me forged the monster you now see.

Bridge

You wanted to calm (you wanted calm)

You wanted quiet (you wanted quiet)

You wanted someone

Who would never fight

But pressure changes everything (everything)

Breakdown

You kept pushing,

I kept holding

you kept blaming.

I kept folding

now the quiet part of me is dead.

Final chorus

If I’m the monster in your head,

then I’ll become the thing you said

no more chains around my name

no more playing your old game

you can curse the man I’ve been

but you helped create the skin.

I’m in every scar you left on me

building the monster you now see

Outro

I tried to be the man I was

now I’m the man that you made me

So let the war take everything
