(Verse 1)
Tried to play the part,
Tried to wear the name.
Felt like glass—
Looked the same.

Every nod was a blade in disguise,
And I smiled like I didn’t realise.

(Hook)
Sometimes you grow by shedding skin,
By letting the fire
Crawl back in.
I’m not who I was—
That face won’t fit.
Had to leave myself
Just to feel what’s lit.

(Verse 2)
Cut loose friends who held me down,
Laughed at scars,
Talked like crowns.

I ain’t bitter,
I’m just awake.
Even the Sasquatch
Had to fade to escape.

(Hook)
Sometimes you grow by shedding skin,
By letting the fire
Crawl back in.
I’m not who I was—
That face won’t fit.
Had to leave myself
Just to feel what’s lit.

(Bridge – spoken and tight)
I buried the calm.
I swallowed the name.
They built a mirror
And I lit the frame.

Not born again—
Just cut from the chain.
Still bleeding truth
Through a cracked domain.

(Final Hook – snapped delivery)
You don’t evolve without the sting,
Without the cracking
Underneath the skin.
I left that shape
Where silence clings—
And walked through ash
To feel a thing.
