[Intro – slow, heavy riff, stomping drums] [Verse 1 – cold, controlled] I don’t feel the weight anymore I don’t hear the doubt in my head Everything that used to hurt me Feels like something I already left I see the fear in your eyes now I see myself in it too You’re looking at what you made me I’m looking straight back at you [Pre-Chorus – tension] You said I’d lose who I was You said I’d fade away But I didn’t disappear I just changed [Chorus – HUGE, DARK, ANTHEMIC] This is what I’ve become Something you can’t control This is what I’ve become Something carved out of stone I don’t bleed like I used to I don’t break like before If you’re looking for mercy You won’t find it anymore This is what I’ve become [Verse 2 – heavier, dominant] I remember the man I was I remember the doubt and the shame He’s still here, but he’s buried Under power, under flame You tried to keep me beneath you Tried to keep me in line Now you’re standing in front of me Like you’re running out of time [Pre-Chorus – bigger] You thought I’d lose myself But I found something else [Chorus – bigger, layered] This is what I’ve become Something you can’t control This is what I’ve become Something carved out of stone I don’t bleed like I used to I don’t break like before If you’re looking for mercy You won’t find it anymore This is what I’ve become [Bridge – breakdown, half-time, menacing] [Everything drops heavy and slow] You wanted a monster Now look what you made (Pause) Don’t look away. (Band slams back in) [GUITAR SOLO – Dark, slow, powerful, menacing] (Less flashy, more “walk like a king” energy) [FINAL CHORUS – MAXIMUM AUTHORITY] This is what I’ve become Something you can’t control This is what I’ve become Something colder than stone I don’t bleed like I used to I don’t break like before If you’re looking for mercy You won’t find it anymore This is what I’ve become [Outro – cold, final] You don’t get me back. You only get what’s left.
