2. Crawl (Childhood)

[Intro – music box → sudden distortion] [Verse 1] Nightlight burns but never saves Daddy's footsteps on the stairs Mommy's prayers through the walls I learn to disappear before I fall [Verse 2] Broken toys and broken trust Every hug comes with a cost Hide beneath the bed again Monsters wear the face of men [Pre-Chorus] Love is just another word for bruise [Chorus] I crawl through the shards of what you call home Every cut writes the truth in my bones Teach me silence, teach me fear I was never a child here [Verse 3] Report cards stained with tears Teachers ask, I disappear Smile for the photo, bleed inside Childhood is where the light dies [Bridge – spoken over heartbeat drums] One day I'll stand up… one day I'll make you crawl [Solo – chaotic whammy + children choir in background] [Final Chorus + Outro – full scream] I crawled so you could never reach me again! /very dark /music box intro /children choir in bridge /brutal drop after verse 3
