What the Goddess Became

Verse 1 I remember hands Before they learned to beg I remember prayers That didn’t taste like debt They carved my name in marble Then screamed when I bled Loved me as an answer Then cursed me as the end Pre-Chorus Immortality is hunger That never learns restraint I gave them everything And learned That love is what they break Chorus I was a goddess once I swear it’s true I held the world together With something soft and blue Now look at me Look at what I am If monsters are born from mercy Then I understand Verse 2 Every wish was heavier Than the last one that I bore Until devotion turned to chains And worship wanted more They feared my silence Feared my size Feared the mirror in my eyes So they named me abomination To survive Pre-Chorus They say I chose this form They say I let it grow But rot is what happens When you never say no Chorus I was a goddess once Before the screams Before the world demanded More than it could keep You pray for me to fall You pray for me to end But tell me— Who survives When gods Defend? Bridge If love is what made me this Then hate will finish it Stone is kinder than regret And quieter than faith I don’t want your forgiveness I don’t want your fear I want the silence I earned For being here Break (low chant / echo) Look Away Look Away Final Chorus I was a goddess once Now I am proof That monsters come from trying To protect the truth If you raise your blade Do it clean Do it fast Do not call this justice Call it Last
