💔 I Didn’t Know Monsters 💔

V5

[Purfect audio quality, perfect studio recording] ​[Intro] [Spoken Word, Close Mic, Lo-Fi filter] [Childlike tone] I thought "good" was contagious. I didn't know it could be manipulated. ​[Verse 1] [Clean Guitar, Fast Jazz Tempo] [Vocals: Warm, Smooth, Rapid delivery] Good kid, open hands, world felt kind Helping strangers just to ease their grind Lift a brother up when he is low He lifts another—that’s how it goes Big dreams, small needs, a simple plan Be a father. Be a husband. Be a man. I didn't know love was a thing for barter "Comply to be loved"—or life gets harder. ​[Pre-Chorus] [Music Stops suddenly] [Spoken Whisper] I’d never met a hollow soul. So I never learned what to look for. ​[Chorus] [Explosion: Heavy Distortion, Melodic but Loud] [Vocals: Powerful, Soaring] I didn’t know monsters existed! Thought love only hurt when it was real Didn’t know devotion gets so twisted Addicted to the lie, they steal your ideals! I thought every problem could be talked through But when there's no compromise—what do you do? ​[Verse 2] [Tempo Accelerates: Double-time drums] [Vocals: Breathless, Romantic Panic] Six months, endless calls, no sleep Phone bills burning but the connection deep Every weekend, every single break Every mile was worth the ache Pillow talk prophecy, half a joke “Why don’t you just propose?” she spoke It landed soft, yeah it landed right Hit my only dream like a guiding light. ​[Pre-Chorus] [Bass groove only] Six months' pay on a diamond ring. I thought sacrifice proved... everything. ​[Chorus] [Full Metal Instrumentation] [Vocals: Aggressive, Gritty] I didn’t know monsters existed! Didn’t know gaslighting was the thing! I thought love meant that you stayed committed To keep a marriage from imploding! I took the fall no matter who did it Lost every fight just to get along But it was all control—the fights were a con! ​[Verse 3] [Style: Visceral SpeedRap, Staccato, Choppy] [Drums: Rapid snare rolls] Calling off the wedding—again and again Said it quiet, watched me break, watched me bend Beg. Bargain. Accept her lies. She knew my levers, she cut all my ties. Every single fight took a piece of me She’s wrong? I say "Sorry." One more free. Got me isolated. Pissed on my friends. "My family is next?" She said: "Choose me or them." Identity sold for stability Humility—the only thing left in me. ​[Break] [Sudden Silence] (Deep Inhale) ... ​[Verse 4] [Music returns: Grinding, Heavy, Sludge tempo] [Vocals: Monotone, Exhausted, Robot-like] Multiple jobs. Full-time school. Paid the rent. Bought the food. Cooked the meals. Cleaned the mess. Learned how small I could compress. Sacrificed all. Bled. Bent the knee. Gave everything up for her degree. Dreamt stress pushed her love down deep within... Hoped when the pressure broke, I'd feel her warmth again. ​[Pre-Chorus] [Ethereal Guitar, Floating] Waiting on the ghost of that six-month love. A ghost that she thought... nothing of. ​[Bridge] [Clean, Surgical, Cold Tone] [Rhythm: Ticking Clock] Two weeks before the finish line. Divorce papers. Perfect timing. “Find somewhere else—make space for me." “Your pain’s a problem I don’t need.” She didn’t leave in rage or flame. Just logistics. And calm disdain. ​[Final Chorus] [Wall of Sound: Screams and Melodic Singing Layered] I didn’t know monsters existed! Now I don’t know who I am! Every mirror shows a vacancy Shaped like a better man! She took another piece of me every day Kicked my husk aside... and walked away. ​[Outro] [Instruments fade out one by one] [Spoken, Close Mic] I used to believe people were good. (Long Pause) Now I just believe they’re real.
