Marked in Black

[Intro] I felt it before it took my name, A quiet pull I couldn’t break, Like something stitched beneath my skin— Waiting for me to give in. [Verse 1] Every step like it’s pulling me back, Threaded tight through a world gone black, I tried to run but it stayed in place— Like a shadow I couldn’t replace. Fingertips carving under my skin, Writing truths I was born within, You don’t ask, you don’t hesitate— You just take what I couldn’t escape. [Pre-Chorus] Say it’s fate, say it’s mine, Say I crossed a sacred line, I don’t know where I end anymore… [Chorus] You marked me in black—now I can’t wash it off Every breath I take is a line that you wrote If this is a curse, then I’m already lost You don’t want my soul—you just want control Say I’m yours, say it hurts Say I’m more when I burn If I’m falling apart— You carved me this way from the start [Verse 2] Every mirror shows less of me, Every shadow looks more like you, I don’t know if I’m still free— Or just shaped into what you choose. You’re the voice in the quiet space, The breath that I can’t replace, Even fear starts to feel like trust… When the darkness feels like us. [Pre-Chorus] Say it’s fate, say it’s mine, Say I crossed a sacred line, I don’t know where I end anymore… [Chorus] You marked me in black—now I can’t wash it off Every breath I take is a line that you wrote If this is a curse, then I’m already lost You don’t want my soul—you just want control Say I’m yours, say it hurts Say I’m more when I burn If I’m falling apart— You carved me this way from the start [Bridge] Cut it deeper—let it stay, I don’t want it washed away, If I’m ruined, let me be— Everything you made of me [Final Chorus] You marked me in black—now I can’t wash it off Every breath I take is a line that you wrote If this is a curse, then I’m already lost You don’t want my soul—you just want control Say I’m yours, say it’s true There was never a “me” without you If I’m falling apart— You carved me this way from the start [Outro] Say my name like it’s already done… Like I was always the chosen one…
