REDHOOD

V6

[Intro] (Heartbeat. Distant rain. Low piano.) Do you remember me? The kid in the cape. The one who followed you into the darkness. You taught me how to fight. You taught me how to survive. But you never taught me what to do... when survival wasn't enough. [Verse 1] I wore the colors. I wore the name. I thought becoming Robin meant I'd earn my place. I was angry. I was young. I wanted you to see what I could become. But Gotham doesn't care how hard you try. Sometimes the joke ends before you realize... you're dying. [Pre-Chorus] I called your name. Did you hear me? I waited for you. You never came. [Chorus] I'M NOT YOUR ROBIN! Not anymore! You left me bleeding on a cold floor. You had your rules. You had your code. Now look at the monster you left on the road. You wanted a soldier. You made a ghost. You saved the city... But you lost me. [Verse 2] Then came the silence. Then came the grave. No cape. No mask. No one left to save. But death has a funny way of changing a man. You lose everything... and finally understand. I crawled out of the darkness with fire in my veins. Every memory of you was carved into the pain. I wasn't looking for forgiveness. I wasn't looking for peace. I just wanted you to remember me. [Pre-Chorus] You called me broken. You called me lost. But you never asked what your silence cost. [Chorus] I'M NOT YOUR ROBIN! Not anymore! I came back angry from the graveyard floor. You had your rules. You had your code. Now look at the monster you left on the road. You wanted a soldier. You made a ghost. You saved the city... But you lost me. [Bridge] (Music drops to piano.) Tell me... Was I worth saving? Was I worth breaking your precious rules? Was I just another name you couldn't afford to lose? I don't need your apology. I don't need your hand. I needed you that night. You needed to understand. (Silence.) And you weren't there. [Breakdown] (Explosive drums and distorted guitars) SO I BECAME THE THING YOU NEVER WANTED! THE SHADOW YOU COULDN'T CONTROL! THE GHOST YOU COULDN'T BURY! THE SON YOU COULDN'T SAVE! You wanted Batman's Robin. You got Red Hood. [Final Chorus] I'M NOT YOUR ROBIN! LOOK AT ME NOW! I WALKED THROUGH HELL AND I DON'T BOW DOWN! You gave me the darkness. You gave me the pain. You gave me a reason to never be the same. I don't need your symbol. I don't need your code. I'll carry my own name. I'll walk my own road. You wanted your Robin back... But Robin died that night. [Outro] (Music slowly fades.) Do you remember me? ... Jason Todd. (Beat.) Red Hood. [Final sound] A gunshot-like percussion hit, followed by silence.
