[Teenage male vocal] [INTRO – dark atmosphere, solo violin, slow tempo 70 BPM, minor key, distant reverb] [whispered, almost broken] I wasn’t born with claws in my hands… I learned them. [Violin solo] [VERSE 1 – soft vocal, violin + ambient pad, intimate, emotional] I was quiet, I was kind, I was easy to ignore Left my heart on every table, watched it fall to the floor Every smile felt like a promise, every promise like a lie They said ‘be patient’ — I learned to survive I tried to speak in open wounds They answered with a knife So if my teeth are showing now Don’t ask me why [PRE-CHORUS – build-up, drums fade in, violin intensifies, tension rising] I don’t attack, I defend I don’t hunt, I endure I didn’t choose this armor I just wanted to be pure [CHORUS – big, emotional, rock + orchestra, distorted guitars, full drums] I’m not a beast, don’t call me wild Life taught me how to bite When every door was closed on me I learned to fight the night I’m not a monster, I’m a scar Still bleeding, still alive If I bare my teeth at the world It’s ‘cause the world taught me to bite [POST-CHORUS – instrumental, violin solo crying melody, electric guitar harmonizing] [VERSE 2 – RAP – gritty, half-time beat, low bass, aggressive but controlled] Yeah I was raised by broken words and silence in the room By “man up”, “don’t feel”, and “you’ll be fine soon” They fed me fear with a silver spoon Then blamed my hunger when I swallowed truth [Orchestra + Choir] Every bruise was a lesson Every loss was a rule You don’t get saved in this game You adapt or you lose [VERSE 2A – RAP – faster, more aggressive but controlled, rising] So don’t point at my anger like it grew out of nowhere I was calm way too long, now I’m standing right there [PRE-CHORUS 2 – sung + backing vocals, tension rebuild] I still feel everything That’s the curse and the proof I’m not heartless I’m just bulletproof [CHORUS – repeat, stronger, added backing choir, higher key harmony] I’m not a beast, don’t call me wild Life taught me how to bite I begged for warmth, I got the cold So I learned to survive I’m not a monster, I’m a scar Still shaking, still alive If I bare my teeth at the world It’s ‘cause the world taught me to bite [BRIDGE – breakdown, only piano + violin, raw vocal, almost crying] If you had seen what I’ve seen You’d bite too If you had bled where I bled You’d do it too I still dream of softer days I just don’t trust them anymore [FINAL CHORUS – explosive, full rock/orchestra, emotional peak] I’m not a beast — I’m what survived The wars inside my mind I didn’t lose my empathy I just learned where to hide [Wszyscy grają wszystko + choir] So when I stand with sharpened teeth Don’t mistake my fight for pride I’m still the same soul I was Just alive enough to bite [OUTRO – violin fading, heartbeat sound, whispered line] [whisper] I wasn’t born this way… I was taught.
