Self-Made Monster

Lyrics

I built my life on fragile skin
On borrowed breath and discipline
A ticking clock beneath my chest
A cage of flesh that failed its test
While lesser minds accepted fate
I chose to challenge, to create
Not bound by fear, nor nature’s law—
I saw the flaw… I am the flaw

They called it death… I called it change
A necessary rearrange

I became the end of what I was
No mercy, no remorse, because—
Perfection isn’t born, it’s made
Through sacrifice and blades that fade
I tore the weakness from my core
Became the thing they all abhor
Call me monster, curse my name—
I lit the world with living flame

You wept for me, you wore your grief
But tears were always so… naive
You saw a death, a tragic end
I saw a truth you couldn’t bend
A higher form, a greater design
No fragile heart to undermine
What you call loss, I call release—
The death of limits… the birth of me

No turning back, no saving grace
I shed the mask… I took my place

I became the end of what I was
No love, no fear could make me pause
Perfection carved in bone and fire
A will that only climbs higher
I broke the world that made me small
Now I stand above it all
Call me monster, scream in vain—
You built the cage I chose to break

Did you feel it… when the world gave way?
When the lines between life and death turned gray?
Your lab… your city… your fragile control—
All undone by a single soul
I didn’t lose… I didn’t fall…
I became what waits for all

Bryan… I gave you something real…
A wound no time will ever heal
Two lives lost—but now you see…
The world as it was meant to be

I AM the end of what I was!
No god, no chain, no human cause!
Evolution forged in flame—
Remember well the name I claim!
No more weakness, no disguise—
I am truth you can’t deny!
Call me monster, call me scar—
I am what comes when humans go too far!

I chose this path… I paid the cost…
And in that choice… the world was lost…
