[Verse 1] You look for the face you used to name But I walked through fire and changed my shape I carry the marks of every door And I won't be who I was before [Chorus] Can you see me now, standing unafraid I broke the cage and I kept the blade You may judge the road, you may call me strange But I chose my blood, and I chose my name [Verse 2] I learned from the rooms that wanted me small From every locked gate and every false call No borrowed crown and no master's chain Could turn my thunder back into rain [Chorus] Can you see me now, standing unafraid I broke the cage and I kept the blade You may judge the road, you may call me strange But I chose my blood, and I chose my name [Bridge] I keep my calm while the old hate calls I wear no mask when the darkness falls The world I knew can bury its throne I built this spine from the things I own [Outro] If the night comes down, I will meet it awake No one can sell what I refuse to break Can you see me now, standing unafraid I chose my blood, and I chose my name
