Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (crowd bait / whispered then barked) You feel it? That pressure behind the eyes? Good. LET IT EAT. Verse 1 I wake up violent in a silent room Jaw locked tight like a loaded gun Every memory’s a crime scene Every mirror says, “you’re not done” I was raised on warnings and broken bones Taught real early: stand alone They said calm down, bite your tongue I bit through skin and found my lungs Pre-Chorus (syncopated, punchy) You want control I want collapse You talk restraint I SNAP IT BACK Chorus (open, massive) HATE IS THE WEAPON I AIM AT EVERYTHING I SEE HATE IS THE OXYGEN SET THIS FUCKING FIRE FREE Verse 2 I don’t cope I CONTAIN I don’t vent I FUCKING STRAIN Pressure cooker, welded shut Every breath tastes like blood and rust I don’t fear the end of me I fear going numb and weak So I keep the blade inside Turn the pain up—STAY ALIVE Pre-Chorus You call it toxic I call it fuel You drown in comfort I SWIM IN RULES Chorus HATE IS THE WEAPON I CARRY IT LIKE A RIGHT HATE IS THE ENGINE I TURN THE KEY—I BITE Bridge (half-time, venomous) They said: “Be better” I said: “WATCH ME GET WORSE” They prayed for mercy I WROTE A FUCKING CURSE I don’t need peace I need noise I need the chaos THEY DESTROYED Breakdown 1 (call & response) FEED THE FIRE (LET IT BURN) FEED THE FIRE (NO RETURN) TEETH BARED EYES WIDE SET THIS WORLD ALIGHT Breakdown 2 (slower, crushing) NO LOVE NO LIES NO FUCKING GRACE YOU BUILT THE MONSTER I’LL WEAR THE FACE HIT ME AGAIN I’M STILL HERE I SURVIVE ON SPITE AND FEAR Final Chorus (gang vocals, last word shouted) HATE IS THE WEAPON THIS IS WHAT KEEPS ME REAL HATE IS THE LANGUAGE I SCREAM WHAT YOU CAN’T FEEL Outro (spoken, dead calm) You wanted me quiet. You wanted me tame. Now stand there And watch What hate became. [Male Vocal]
