[Verse 1]
Woke up with a stranger’s hands
Claws where my comfort used to be
Teeth marks in the bathroom glass
Guess the monster finally answered me
Skin crawls like it’s not my own
Tongue tastes iron and kerosene
Every mirror starts to choke
When it tries to hold the in-between (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m a shapeshifter
Rip my face, feel it twist, get sicker
You prayed for an angel, got a grave-digger
Can’t cage this plague, I only burn quicker
I’m a shapeshifter
Say my name, watch your faith grow thinner
You wanted a hero, got a soul-splitter
Step a little closer to the meat grinder (hey)
[Verse 2]
Voices in a clockwise spin
All of them swear they’re really me
Halo in a dog-eared bin
Wings traded out for gasoline
Heartbeats like a loading gun
Click-click, breathe, then I detonate
Halo in the gutter, son
Crown made of everything you hate
[Chorus]
I’m a shapeshifter
Rip my face, feel it twist, get sicker
You prayed for an angel, got a grave-digger
Can’t cage this plague, I only burn quicker
I’m a shapeshifter
Say my name, watch your faith grow thinner
You wanted a hero, got a soul-splitter
Step a little closer to the meat grinder (yeah)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops, distorted whispers and distant growls]
Shift once for your expectations
Twice for your shallow doubt
Three times ‘til the bones all crack
Then the real teeth come out (raah)
You dress your fear in holy words
But you still taste the rot
You can’t cast out what you invited
I’m the answer that you forgot
[Chorus]
I’m a shapeshifter
Rip my face, feel it twist, get sicker
You prayed for an angel, got a grave-digger
Can’t cage this plague, I only burn quicker
I’m a shapeshifter
Say my name, watch your faith grow thinner
You wanted a hero, got a soul-splitter
Now you’re in the jaws of the shapeshifter (shapeshifter)
