Your Monster Came Back

Hear that?

Not thunder.

Just the waves coming home.

You threw me to the deep.

Now the deep is mine.

They called me a curse wrapped in gold,

A half-blood secret no one could hold.

Below the deck where the salt ran cold,

I learned survival, I learned to be bold.

You stole my name, buried my flame,

Called your cruelty a noble game.

Cast me below with a chain and a prayer,

Now every wave says I’m still there.

You threw me overboard, left me in the dark,

But the sea kept my secrets and sharpened my heart.

Now I haunt your nightmares in velvet and black,

You made me a monster, and your monster came back.

Strike the match, hear the cannons crack,

Every scar you gave me leads me on the attack.

You can run, you can hide, but the tide knows my track,

You made me a monster, and your monster came back.

I wear my revenge like a jewel at my throat,

Smile in your parlors while I sink every boat.

One kiss, one lie, then I vanish from sight,

I’m teeth in the water by the dead of night.

Powdered wigs drift like ghosts in the foam,

Every cage that you built only guided me home.

You called me too wild, too broken to change,

Now your empire will drown in my name.

You threw me overboard, left me in the dark,

But the sea kept my secrets and sharpened my heart.

Now I haunt your nightmares in velvet and black,

You made me a monster, and your monster came back.

Strike the match, hear the cannons crack,

Every scar you gave me leads me on the attack.

You can run, you can hide, but the tide knows my track,

You made me a monster, and your monster came back.

I remember every lock, every chain, every name.

You wanted something pretty, something easy to tame.

Wild things don’t break—they learn who to blame.

The deeper that you cut me, the harder I came back.

I’m the phantom in the rigging when the moon burns red,

The story noble mothers pray their children dread.

No cannon can stop me, no crown makes me kneel,

I’m the Last Wild Shape, and I’m making you feel.

Raise a glass to the girls that you cast aside,

We’re the storm underneath, we’re the turn of the tide.

Keep your hollow kingdom and your legacy,

I’ll choose the storm you made of me.

You threw me overboard, left me in the dark,

But the sea kept my secrets and sharpened my heart.

Now I haunt your nightmares in velvet and black,

You made me a monster, and your monster came back.

Strike the match, hear the cannons crack,

Every scar you gave me leads me on the attack.

You can run, you can hide, but the tide knows my track,

You made me a monster, and your monster came back.

You made me a monster.

Now say my name with fear.

The tide remembers.

And I come back.

Wild hearts never drown.

They rise.
