Hate is the Weapon (Feed the Fire)

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.
