[Verse 1 (Clean – restrained, fragile)] I held you with hands that were shaking Said I’d protect you from the dark But I was the knife in the silence I was the scar you couldn’t outrun Your name still hangs in the hallway Like smoke I can’t breathe out I loved you wrong I loved you too late And now the ghosts won’t quiet down ⸻ [Pre-Chorus (Clean → tension building)] If love is a weapon I never learned control Every promise I whispered Carved deeper into your bones ⸻ [Chorus (High Clean – emotional, soaring)] I’m bleeding where I should have saved you Praying guilt can drown this hate They touched what was never theirs So I’ll make them feel your pain I hurt the one I would die for Now I’m hollow, cold, awake If mercy asks me to forgive them I’ll burn mercy at the stake ⸻ [Verse 2 (Clean – darker, steadier)] Grief lives under my skin now It claws when I try to sleep Every laugh feels like betrayal Every breath feels incomplete They smile like they didn’t break you Like blood just washes away But I remember every second Every scream they made you pray ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 (Clean → distorted layering)] Say their names like a ritual Let rage replace the tears If love made me a monster Then monsters have no fear ⸻ [Breakdown (GUTTURAL FRY SCREAMS – violent, raw)] YOU TOUCHED WHAT I LOVED NOW I’LL TEACH YOU PAIN BITE THROUGH THE GUILT TILL NOTHING REMAINS NO REDEMPTION NO RELEASE YOUR BLOOD IS THE PRICE FOR MY PEACE ⸻ [Bridge (Clean – haunting, almost whispered)] If I disappear tonight Know I followed your ghost I’d tear the world apart If it means you’re not alone I would damn myself forever Just to hear you breathe Love didn’t save us But vengeance remembers me ⸻ [Final Chorus (Clean + Screams layered)] I’m bleeding where I should have saved you Grief carved my name in flame They took your light and laughed So I answered with their pain I hurt the one I would die for Now I live inside the ache If this is what love turns into Then let the city shake ⸻ [Outro (Clean – exhausted, cold resolve)] Forgiveness never found me But your memory never left If loving you made me a villain Then I’ll wear it till my death
