[Verse 1] I used to live behind a lock Steel on my skin, counting every thought They said don’t run, don’t feel, don’t breathe too deep Like I was born to be the beast they keep I learned the world through cracks of light Through broken walls and endless nights But somewhere in the dark, a spark got through And now my heart beats louder when I think of you [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got teeth, I’ve got scars I’ve got chaos in my arms But for the first time in my life I don’t just wanna tear apart [Chorus] ‘Cause I found beautiful things In a world that made me sharp A little hope in my chest A little love in the dark Now I’m scared of my own hands Scared of what they might do ‘Cause I finally found something I don’t wanna lose I was made to break and bite To leave a red-stained trail behind But now there’s something pure in me And I’m terrified it’ll die with me [Verse 2] I used to laugh with blood on my mouth Like that was all this life was about A pounding pulse, a rush, a need An empty ache that only fed the beast But then the sky looked strange one day Gold and crimson in a softer way And I swear the wind felt different too Like even monsters get a moment new [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got storms under my skin A war I never seem to win But for the first time in my life I want more than what I’ve been [Chorus] ‘Cause I found beautiful things In a world that made me sharp A little hope in my chest A little love in the dark Now I’m scared of my own hands Scared of what they might do ‘Cause I finally found something I don’t wanna lose I was made to break and bite To leave a red-stained trail behind But now there’s something pure in me And I’m terrified it’ll die with me [Bridge] If I run, will it follow? If I stay, will I ruin it all? If you reach for me gently Will I still become the fall? I don’t know how to hold light I don’t know how to be clean But I know this world feels different Now that I’ve seen what beauty means [Final Chorus] Yeah, I found beautiful things Past the hunger and the dark A little peace in my veins A beating life in this heart Now I’m crying at the thought That it could all disappear ‘Cause I finally found something That makes me want to stay here I was made from chain and fury From every fear they carved in me But now there’s something worth saving And I pray it survives me [Outro] I found beautiful things Please don’t take them from me Please don’t make me Be what I used to be
