Shed the Skin

Lyrics

I used to wear a fragile frame
A borrowed breath, a borrowed name
Flesh and bone that couldn’t stay
A fading form that slipped away

I felt it burning deep below
A truth I tried not to know

I shed my skin, I left that life
No more fear, no more disguise
What I was has turned to flame—
I rise as something uncontained
Not bound by blood, not bound by breath
I walked the line of death to death
And from the ash of what I used to be—
I became the dragon inside of me

No fragile pulse, no drowning veins
No quiet heart to break in chains
The fire I feared, I now command
It answers to my will, my hand

I was water… I was weak…
Now I’m fire… now I speak…
In roaring skies and burning air—
There’s nothing left of who was there

I shed my skin, I broke the cage
Turned silent fear to living rage
No more hiding, no retreat—
I am the storm I couldn’t beat
From mortal dust to endless flame
The world will never be the same
Say goodbye to who I used to be—
I am the dragon inside of me
