Trigger Point

(Verse 1 – Rap)
I bite my tongue till it bleeds again,
I hold it in, but it’s wearing thin.
These fake smiles, they break apart,
Like porcelain lies from a hollow heart.
You push and pull, you twist the frame,
Then act like you don’t hold the blame.
I’ve had enough of this quiet war—
The tension snaps, I can't take it anymore.
(Pre-Chorus – Sung)
It builds like pressure in my chest,
I try to calm, I try my best,
But every word just feeds the flame,
And I’m the one you love to blame.
(Chorus – Sung)
I’m not your cure, I’m not your crutch,
I’ve taken hits, I’ve taken too much.
The silence screams louder than sound,
And now I’m breaking, breaking down.
I can’t be calm, I can’t pretend—
This rage inside won’t let it end.
I’m right at the edge, past the point,
You lit the fuse, I’m the trigger point.
(Verse 2 – Rap)
I see red in the rearview glass,
A past I tried to outpace, but it won’t pass.
You never listened, just talked in loops,
Dug your trenches, called them truth.
I kept it cool while you played with fire,
Now I’m the one stuck in the pyre.
You pushed me back, now watch me rise—
This is the sound of your own demise.
(Pre-Chorus – Sung)
It builds like pressure in my chest,
I try to calm, I try my best,
But every word just feeds the flame,
And I’m the one you love to blame.
(Chorus – Sung)
I’m not your cure, I’m not your crutch,
I’ve taken hits, I’ve taken too much.
The silence screams louder than sound,
And now I’m breaking, breaking down.
I can’t be calm, I can’t pretend—
This rage inside won’t let it end.
I’m right at the edge, past the point,
You lit the fuse, I’m the trigger point.
(Bridge – Screamed)
You pushed me down—
But I won’t stay buried!
I held it in—
Now you better be worried!
I won’t play nice,
I won’t sit still,
You wanted fire?
Then feel this f*cking will!
(Final Chorus – Sung with added layers)
I’m not your cure, I’m not your crutch,
I’ve taken hits, I’ve taken too much.
The silence screams louder than sound,
And now I’m breaking, breaking down.
I can’t be calm, I can’t pretend—
This rage inside won’t let it end.
I’m right at the edge, past the point,
You lit the fuse, I’m the trigger point.
(Outro – Soft singing fading to silence)
Just one more spark… and I ignite.
No turning back… no end in sight.
