Transmutate Written by Alisha Collins/ Ton Smith [Intro] You were everything to me I believed every word you said But that wasn't our reality You started crawling inside my head [Verse] You learned my weaknesses by heart, Examining them piece by piece You built a prison from my fears Then smiled as you turned the key I once saw heaven behind your eyes Now I know it was Hell I begged for the love you denied And slowly turned into someone else [Pre-Chorus] There's a stranger underneath my skin, A thousand voices screaming from within. [Chorus] TRANSMUTATE! I'm changing into something I hate! You took my heart and corrupted its shape, Now I don't recognize the man who's taken my place Am I the abuser or the abused! I feel such pain mixed with hate, I wonder if it's too late?! You wanted someone you could control, Now there's a stranger wearing my soul! I can't go back, I can't escape You made me... TRANSMUTATE! [Verse] I flinch whenever my name is said You taught me love was a loaded gun The old me is now dead Now I'm afraid of what I've become I swore I'd never become your kind, But I hear your words coming out of mine. And the worst part isn't what you did It's who I'm becoming because of it. [Pre-Chorus] My face stares back with unfamiliar eyes... (Whispered) I became something I despise? [Chorus] TRANSMUTATE! I'm changing into something I hate! You took my heart and corrupted its shape, Now I don't recognize the man who's taken my place Am I the abuser or the abused! I feel such pain mixed with hate, I wonder if it's too late? You wanted someone you could control, Now there's a stranger wearing my soul! I can't go back, I can't escape You made me... TRANSMUTATE! [Glitch-Hop Breakdown] You broke me... (Broke broke broke me.) You changed me... (Changed changed changed me.) (Silence) I remember who I was... And I miss that person. [Bridge] Your poison runs in my veins But I've got the remedy I may no longer be the same But you? I'll NEVER FUCKING BE! I won't let your cruelty become mine I'd rather stay alone Until the corruption is gone [Whispers) Transmutate the hate [Chorus] TRANSFORM! I'm tired of this carnage you left me! I see your shadow in every mistake, But you don't get to decide my fate! I'll find the soul you try to erase! I'll face the darkness, I'll live through the pain! I'll find the man beneath all this hate! I'll learn to love again [Outro] I'm learning to take control You're losing your hold on me I'm reclaiming my own soul As I become who I choose to be (One final distorted heartbeat. Silence.)
