Verse 1 I thought becoming meant harder stone Pressure and time until the heart set bone But something warm moved under the seams Loosening strata of ancient beliefs Every certainty fossilized Cracks in the heat of a wider sky And in the fault where the old self breaks Something living begins to wake Pre-Chorus Not a fortress of shale Just a shoreline of change Chorus So this is evolution The limestone leaving bone Every wall dissolving slowly Every buried vein exposed Growing strong is growing softer Stone remembering rain So this is evolution The mountain learning change Verse 2 The mind uncrystals grain by grain Salt returning back to the sea again Old formations shifting below Quiet tectonics I barely know Stories I wore like mineral skin Weather to dust in the wind What felt like loss, what felt like end Was pressure shaping me again Pre-Chorus Not a blade to defend Just the slow bending of stone Chorus So this is evolution The limestone leaving bone Every wall dissolving slowly Every buried vein exposed Growing strong is growing softer Stone remembering rain So this is evolution The mountain learning change Bridge I thought wisdom was granite still But it moves like a river will Carving truth through the densest wall Until the hardest structures fall Final Chorus So this is evolution The crystal shifting form Pressure turning into beauty Fault lines opening warm Growing strong is growing softer Every fracture lets in light So this is evolution Stone becoming sight
