Mutation in myself

[Verse 1]

A crack was growing in the old mirror,
Beneath my skin, my blood was changing slow.
I used to call it nothing but fear,
Until it found a voice of its own.

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't hide your face, don't close your eyes —
You've grown beyond who you were yesterday.

[Chorus]

Mutation — it's not a sentence,
It's a new voice rising from within.
I'll piece myself into a pattern
That no one ever could erase.
Mutation — this is my turning point,
My roots run deep in stony ground.
Let everything I was fall away —
I stand on my own side now.

[Verse 2]

Strong tea is cooling in the kitchen,
Outside, the rain argues with the windowpane.
I no longer ask for my old self back,
She left behind a home for me to claim.

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't hide your face, don't close your eyes —
You've grown beyond who you were yesterday.

[Chorus]

Mutation — it's not a sentence,
It's a new voice rising from within.
I'll piece myself into a pattern
That no one ever could erase.
Mutation — this is my turning point,
My roots run deep in stony ground.
Let everything I was fall away —
I stand on my own side now.

[Bridge]

If change is burning through my skin,
It means the old seams came undone.
I don't have to turn around
And put myself together as before.

[Final Chorus]

Mutation — it's not a sentence,
It's a new voice rising from within.
I'll piece myself into a pattern
That no one ever could erase.
Mutation — this is my turning point,
My roots run deep in stony ground.
Let everything I was fall away —
I stand on my own side now.

[Outro]

On my own side now.
On my own side now.
