Title: The Ghost You’re Judging

Verse 1)

You’re still throwing stones at a shadow on the wall

Cursing a girl/man who doesn’t live here at all

You kept the blueprints of the house I burned down

Waiting for the echoes, but there isn’t a sound

While you were counting my mistakes like beads on a string

I was in the basement, shedding my skin.

(Pre-Chorus)

Growth is a whisper, a secret, a crawl

It doesn't ring bells or shout down the hall

You were watching the surface, looking for a sign

While I was rebuilding the spine.

(Chorus)

I didn’t become what hurt me

I became what you never saw coming

Not colder, just clearer

The view’s better here in the mirror

I’m not broken, I’m just out of your reach

Beyond the manipulation and the lessons you’d preach

Go ahead, judge the version that’s gone

I’m the quiet evolution moving on.

(Verse 2)

You call it "distant," I call it "controlled"

You miss the version you used to hold

But I’ve traded the chaos for a steady hand

And a boundary line drawn deep in the sand

Transformation is a silent machine

Working in the spaces that can’t be seen.

(Bridge)

It’s not cruelty, it’s just the truth

I’ve outgrown the wounds of my youth

You’re talking to a ghost, you’re fighting with the wind

The doors are all locked, let the silence begin

Let the clarity speak louder than words.

(Chorus)

I didn’t become what hurt me

I became what you never saw coming

Not colder, just clearer

The view’s better here in the mirror

I’m not broken, I’m just out of your reach

Beyond the manipulation and the lessons you’d preach

Go ahead, judge the version that’s gone

I’m the quiet evolution moving on.

(Outro)

Relentless.

Private.

Silent.

I’m not the person you remember.

(Fade out)

I’m the one you never saw coming.
