*150 BPM | Drop F# | Melodic Metalcore / Deathcore* [INTRO — 0:00 | Haunting Piano, Distant Choir, Whispered Vocals] *I came here looking for heaven…* *And buried myself alive.* [WHISPERED, BUILDING] Petal by petal… Thorn by thorn… I gave you everything Until nothing was my own. [VERSE 1 — 0:25 | Low, Rhythmic Screams, Syncopated Chugs] I drank the venom from your lips, Called it salvation, called it bliss. You carved your scripture into my skin, And taught my broken bones to bend. You dressed the cage in crimson gold, Made me believe that pain was growth. You pulled the roots beneath my chest, And wore my suffering like a dress. I was the soil. I was the seed. I was the sacrifice You made of me. [PRE-CHORUS — 0:52 | Clean Vocals, Rising Melodic Guitars] And every time I tried to leave, Your thorns grew deeper underneath. You took the shape of all my scars, And made a masterpiece of what was left of my heart. [CHORUS — 1:10 | Huge Melodic Clean Vocals, Layered Screams] **I AM A SLAVE TO THE TOXIC ROSE!** A beautiful prison where nothing grows! You sculpted my soul with a thousand knives, And buried the man I was alive! **I AM THE MONSTER YOUR GARDEN MADE!** A living monument to my decay! If I must bleed to wear your crown, Then let these fucking petals drown! [POST-CHORUS — 1:42 | Gang Vocals, Low Chugs] *ROOT ME DEEP!* *CARVE ME HOLLOW!* I am the shape Your sickness follows! [VERSE 2 — 1:55 | Faster Drums, Blackened Tremolo Riffs] Your vines are wrapped around my throat, Your poisoned roots have claimed my bones. I see your flowers when I sleep, Their mouths are screaming underneath. You took my will and made it bloom, A field of graves inside your womb. I wore your chains like wedding rings, And worshipped every wound you bring. You called me weak when I resisted, Called me yours when I submitted. Now every breath I take is proof— There's nothing left of me but you. [PRE-CHORUS 2 — 2:23 | Clean Vocals, Harsh Vocal Layers] And every time I tried to leave, Your thorns grew deeper underneath. You took the shape of all my scars— **NOW LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE MADE OF ME!** [CHORUS 2 — 2:41 | Full Band, Melodic and Crushing] **I AM A SLAVE TO THE TOXIC ROSE!** A beautiful prison where nothing grows! You sculpted my soul with a thousand knives, And buried the man I was alive! **I AM THE MONSTER YOUR GARDEN MADE!** A living monument to my decay! If I must bleed to wear your crown, Then let these fucking petals drown! [BREAKDOWN I — 3:13 | Sudden Stop, Sub-Bass Drop, Deathcore Gutturals] *You wanted devotion?* **TAKE MY FUCKING SPINE!** *You wanted perfection?* **CARVE IT OUT OF MINE!** No flesh. No faith. No self. No escape. I AM THE ROOT! I AM THE ROT! I AM THE THING THAT YOU FORGOT! [BEAT OF SILENCE] **I AM YOUR FUCKING MASTERPIECE!** [BREAKDOWN II — 3:42 | 75 BPM Half-Time, Tunnel-Throat Lows, Slam Riffs] SCULPT ME! BREAK ME! MAKE ME WHAT YOU NEED! I AM THE GARDEN! **THE GARDEN IS ME!** *BLEGH!* BURY ME BENEATH THE BLOOM! LET THE THORNS BECOME MY TOMB! I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I OWNED— **NOW RIP THE FUCKING ROOTS FROM MY BONES!** [BRIDGE — 4:10 | Atmospheric Clean Vocals, Piano, Distant Screams] Was I ever more than a vessel? Was I ever more than your design? If I tear you from my body, Will there be a soul beneath the vines? I can feel the flowers dying… I can hear the silence breathe… But the roots are in my marrow, And the poison lives in me. [BUILD — 4:38 | Layered Cleans, Rising Blast Beats] *I tried to run…* *I tried to bleed…* *I tried to kill what you made of me…* **BUT EVERY PETAL BEARS MY NAME!** [FINAL BREAKDOWN — 4:55 | 75 BPM, Full Deathcore, Orchestral Impact] YOU FUCKING GREW INSIDE OF ME! YOU FUCKING MADE WHAT I WOULD BE! **NOW EVERY THORN IS TURNED INWARD!** **NOW EVERY ROOT WILL FEED ON ME!** *BLEGH!* **LET THE WHOLE GARDEN FUCKING BURN!** LET EVERY PETAL TURN TO DUST! IF I WAS BORN TO BE YOUR SLAVE— **THEN LET THE EARTH CONSUME US BOTH!** [FINAL CHORUS — 5:22 | Massive Melodic Cleans, Screamed Counter-Vocals] **I WAS A SLAVE TO THE TOXIC ROSE!** A beautiful prison where nothing grows! You sculpted my soul with a thousand knives, But I won't let you call this life! **I AM THE MONSTER YOUR GARDEN MADE!** The final bloom of your decay! If I must bleed to break this crown, **THEN LET THE WHOLE FUCKING GARDEN DROWN!** [OUTRO — 5:55 | Dying Piano, Feedback, Final Whisper] *Petal by petal…* *Thorn by thorn…* *Nothing beautiful…* *Was ever born.* [FINAL DISTANT GUTTURAL] **I AM STILL YOURS.**
