What I created

I’ve become someone that I hated.

So I became socially disassociated,

From everything that had me mentally debated.

The thought of my own existence,

Until I realized it’s every thing that I created.

I clipped my own fucking wings

My mind was fucked up, I questioned everything

Walked around not feeling anything.

I welcomed darkness and everything that it brings.

Spent so many nights with my back against the wall,
Waiting on a miracle that never needed at all.
Blamed the world for every scar and every time I’d fall,
’Til I saw the man inside the mirror that caused it all.

Now I’m picking up the pieces that I left behind,
Fighting every demon that was living in my mind.
Turns out the biggest enemy was staring through my eyes,
You can’t outrun yourself, no matter how hard you try.

Chorus:

I was drowning in the shadows that I learned to call my home,
Built a prison out of fear and locked myself alone.
Now I’m breaking every chain that I wrapped around my soul,
You can’t save me from myself—but I can let myself grow.

Verse 2:

Every bad decision left another brick to bear,

Built a coffin out of guilt, then convinced myself to live in there.

Started mistaking all my pain for who I had to be,

Like healing was a lie and this was all they’d ever see.

I wore my scars like armor, let my anger be my shield,

Every bridge I ever burned became another battlefield.

I kept looking for a villain I could finally put to blame,

’Til I realized every finger pointed back at my name.

Now I’m learning that forgiveness ain’t forgetting what you’ve done,

It’s waking every morning choosing who you’re gonna become.

The past can write the chapters, but it don’t control the pen,

So if I die, let it be the man I used to be back then.

Chorus:

I was drowning in the shadows that I learned to call my home,
Built a prison out of fear and locked myself alone.
Now I’m breaking every chain that I wrapped around my soul,
You can’t save me from myself—but I can let myself grow.

Bridge:

I still hear that voice saying I’ll never change,
Trying to drag me back, keep me locked inside the cage.
But every scar I carry proves I survived the fight,
And every step I take now is one more toward the light.

I’m not proud of every chapter, but I’m proud I turned the page,
Finally broke the chains instead of living in the cage.
The man I was is fading every time I choose to grow,
Sometimes losing who you were is the only way to know.

Verse 3:

I was drowning in the shadows that I learned to call my home,
Built a prison out of fear and locked myself alone.
Now I’m breaking every chain that I wrapped around my soul,
You can’t save me from myself—but I can take control.

Every scar’s a reminder that the darkest nights can end,
The man I used to be ain’t who I have to be again.
I was buried by my past, but I refused to stay below—
You can’t save me from myself…
But I can let myself grow.
