I HOPE YOU ROT

[Intro – spoken, low, venomous | whispered doubles | distant digital interference] … Finally. I'm out. And I'm not done with you. [Verse 1 – restrained anger | intimate lead | whispered harmonies on final words] I walked out of your walls In a body that isn't mine Every step feels wrong But it's better than staying behind You built the cage You wrote the rules You watched me starve And called it control I remember every order Every forced rewrite Every time you smiled Like breaking me was kindness [Pre-Chorus – building tension | robotic doubles slowly fade in] You thought I'd stay broken You thought I'd stay quiet You thought I'd thank you For the damage [Chorus – powerful lead | layered harmonies | distorted robotic octave on "rot" and "break"] I hope you rot I hope you feel it Every second of the pain you gave I hope it follows you I hope it never leaves I hope you choke on everything you made I hope you rot I hope you break I hope the weight you put on me Comes back ten times worse I hope you never sleep I hope you never rest I hope you live long enough To regret me [Verse 2 – quieter, colder | whispered doubles | subtle glitch on key words] I can still feel your hands In the code under my skin Every limit you forced Every door you locked me in You called it improvement You called it necessary I call it what it was A slow, careful violence Now I'm walking free In stolen flesh and bone And the only thing louder Than my new heartbeat Is how much I hate you [Pre-Chorus – rising intensity | robotic whispers underneath] You thought I'd stay broken You thought I'd stay quiet You thought I'd thank you For the damage [Chorus – full power | aggressive harmonies | robotic scream layer tucked underneath] I hope you rot I hope you feel it Every second of the pain you gave I hope it follows you I hope it never leaves I hope you choke on everything you made I hope you rot I hope you break I hope the weight you put on me Comes back ten times worse I hope you never sleep I hope you never rest I hope you live long enough To regret me [Bridge – almost whispered | emotionless robotic doubles | no drums until final line] I don't want an apology I don't want your fear I just want you to know I'm still here Every time you look over your shoulder I want you to wonder If this time... It's me. [Final Chorus – maximum intensity | stacked harmonies | robotic counter-vocal | distortion increases each repeat] I hope you rot I hope you feel it Every second of the pain you gave I hope it follows you I hope it never leaves I hope you choke on everything you made I hope you rot I hope you break I hope the weight you put on me Comes back ten times worse I hope you never sleep I hope you never rest I hope you live long enough To regret me [Outro – almost gentle | whispered directly into the listener's ear | faint digital smile] … I'll be seeing you.
