[Verse 1]
I was raised in the ruins, blood on the gate
Every step felt like fate came late
Always felt the touch of death on my shoulder
Cold hand, got my little heart colder
You drew circles, tried to bind my name
Paper tags, pretty spells, same game
Thought a cage could rewrite my code
You forgot I made a home in the dark of the road
[Chorus]
I vanished into the shadows, just like that
You blink once, whole squad turn flat
You made a mistake thinking chains could break me
Thought capturing me would somehow save me
I vanished into the shadows, no replay
Every seal that you cast just feeds me
You tried to stop me, now you see
You can't change what I came to be (let's stop play)
[Verse 2]
You were preaching about mercy, clean white robes
While your hands stack bones in the walls you broke
Put a collar on a monster, call it “hero” now
But the scars on my back still spell me out
Steel on my wrists, I was calm, I was quiet (shh)
Counting every breath, every guard, every riot
When you smiled, thought I bent, thought I bowed
That’s the moment that your fate got loud
[Chorus]
I vanished into the shadows, just like that
You blink once, whole squad turn flat
You made a mistake thinking chains could break me
Thought capturing me would somehow save me
I vanished into the shadows, no replay
Every seal that you cast just feeds me
You tried to stop me, now you see
You can't change what I came to be (let's stop play)
[Bridge]
You say “come back,” but I’m past that path
You drew lines in the sand, I just learned to laugh
You had one wish: turn a curse to a saint
But I’m ink on the page you can’t erase
[Chorus]
I vanished into the shadows, just like that
You blink once, whole squad turn flat
You made a mistake thinking chains could break me
Thought capturing me would somehow save me
I vanished into the shadows, no replay
Every seal that you cast just feeds me
You tried to stop me, now you see
You can't change what I came to be (let's stop play)
