What We've Become

Talking with the ghosts from my past just to find a new path

Yeah, I've got my reasons

Tried to leave the pain in the cracks

But it echoes right back when the silence deepens

Voices in the dark say relax

But they're tied to the tracks and the light keeps reaching

I've been in a maze with a mask

Every smile that I craft's got a bite beneath it

I keep pacing halls where the walls are breathing slow

Where the past ain't dead, nah, she just puts on her new clothes

So I'll keep dancing with the drеad 'til the light goes cold

I found truth in thе static when the peace was a never go show

They don't see the war beneath the skin

Every loss I took made the fire begin

We are the chosen, we are the few

Born in the silence but we broke right through

Our hearts were frozen and then made new

The ghost inside us wants to meet you too

We've been waiting in the dark too long

Built from the silence but we're burning strong

Now we're hiding from what's come undone

This is what we've become, this is what we've become

I've been tracing lines through the cracks

Like a map of my past where the fear still lingers

Every step I take pulls me back

But I sharpen my path while my grip gets weaker

I don't trust the calm when it lasts

'Cause the storm always asks if I'm down to come see her

Raised in the depths of the black

Now the weight that I drag makes a sharp black sleeper

I've been walking blind where the lights don't ever glow

Where the fear talks soft but it cuts like a knife, this is all I know

So I wear my scars like a name I'll never own

Found gold in the ruin where the seeds that I planted didn't ever grow

Now I bleed my soul through the ink and pen

If the story ends, let it burn with sin

We are the chosen, we are the few

Born in the silence but we broke right through

Our hearts were frozen and then made new

The ghost inside us wants to meet you too

We've been waiting in the dark too long

Built from the silence but we're burning strong

Now we're hiding from what's come undone

This is what we've become, this is what we've become

They can bury my name but they won't ever break my crown

I've been stitched inside from screams they tried to drown

Every lie they spew's a symphony of sound

Watch me breathe in the dark, I'll make the silence loud

We are the chosen, we are the few

Born in the silence but we broke right through

Our hearts were frozen and then made new

The ghost inside us wants to meet you too

We've been waiting in the dark too long

Built from the silence but we're burning strong

Now we're hiding from what's come undone

This is what we've become, this is what we've become
