The Lie They Called Home

[Genre: Metalcore] [Themes: Childhood trauma, emotional manipulation, identity loss] [Vocals: Screamed verses and chorus, clean vocals in verse 2 and bridge, aggressive adlibs in final chorus] [Instrumentation: Ultra-heavy guitars, double kick drums, multiple breakdowns, dark atmospheric layers] The intro starts with distorted ambient feedback that quickly erupts into crushing, low-tuned guitars and double kick assault, No build-up, no mercy — the first verse breaks in like a collapse, dragging the listener straight into a world of lies, scars, and fury, Screamed vocals dominate the verses and chorus, pouring out raw hatred and betrayal, Clean vocals appear in the second verse and bridge — cold, hollow, and deeply wounded, The breakdown snaps with violent conviction, before the bridge cracks into resignation, The final chorus delivers the emotional kill shot, layered with furious adlibs, before falling into a heavy, instrumental void

You held the blade and named it care
Then watched me bleed and called it fair
But every scar you carved in me
Now sings the truth you swore to bury deep

This house was never safe for breath
A cage of guilt, a throne of death
You called it love, I called it chains
I wore your rules like rusted veins
Your echo crawls beneath my skin
A parasite you dressed as kin
There’s no return, no grace to own
Just the lie they called home

I whispered truth into the floor
But every board just begged for more
The walls absorbed my quiet screams
And sold them back in twisted dreams
The air was thick with scripted lines
A stage play soaked in false designs
I bit my tongue until it bled
And bowed before the things you said

You wrote the rules in shattered glass
And laughed each time I dared to ask
Was this the love I had to keep?
Or just the reason I can’t sleep?

Bite the tongue, rewrite the past
Dress up pain and make it last
Built your shrine on fear and shame
Now drown beneath the truth you framed

I gave you all you ever broke
And carried blame with every stroke
But now I see, you made it so
The only way to leave… is to let go

This house was never safe for breath, never safe
A cage of guilt, a throne of death, you built this
You called it love, I called it chains, I called it chains
I wore your rules like rusted veins, still bleeding

Your echo crawls beneath my skin, still here
A parasite you dressed as kin, you knew
There’s no return, no grace to own, no peace
Just the lie they called home, just the lie

You paint the walls with borrowed light But the shadows know what hides at night A cradle built from broken trust Still reeks of blood and bitter dust You called it home, I called it gone A stage where all the love was wrong I learned to smile with clenched up teeth And pray for nights without belief You held the blade and named it care Then watched me bleed and called it fair But every scar you carved in me Now sings the truth you swore to bury deep This house was never safe for breath A cage of guilt, a throne of death You called it love, I called it chains I wore your rules like rusted veins Your echo crawls beneath my skin A parasite you dressed as kin There’s no return, no grace to own Just the lie they called home I whispered truth into the floor But every board just begged for more The walls absorbed my quiet screams And sold them back in twisted dreams The air was thick with scripted lines A stage play soaked in false designs I bit my tongue until it bled And bowed before the things you said You wrote the rules in shattered glass And laughed each time I dared to ask Was this the love I had to keep? Or just the reason I can’t sleep? This house was never safe for breath A cage of guilt, a throne of death You called it love, I called it chains I wore your rules like rusted veins Your echo crawls beneath my skin A parasite you dressed as kin There’s no return, no grace to own Just the lie they called home Bite the tongue, rewrite the past Dress up pain and make it last Built your shrine on fear and shame Now drown beneath the truth you framed I gave you all you ever broke And carried blame with every stroke But now I see, you made it so The only way to leave… is to let go This house was never safe for breath, never safe A cage of guilt, a throne of death, you built this You called it love, I called it chains, I called it chains I wore your rules like rusted veins, still bleeding Your echo crawls beneath my skin, still here A parasite you dressed as kin, you knew There’s no return, no grace to own, no peace Just the lie they called home, just the lie
