You built this hell

[Intro – slow heartbeat kick, dark guitar hum] You keep asking… “Who did this?” Like it was some great mystery. Who ruined the world? Who fed the fire? Who turned fear into law? Look in the fucking mirror. [Verse 1 – calm, surgical] You blame devils ‘cause it feels less shame Cleaner to point than accept your name You want monsters with horns and flame Not your own face in the fucking frame You sold kindness for comfort fast Sold tomorrow just to make shit last Watched your neighbour drown in debt Said “not my problem” and placed your bet You love cages when they feel like choice You love silence when it kills a voice You love power when it hurts someone else Then act shocked when it burns yourself [Pre-Chorus – cold build] You prayed for saviours… While sharpening knives Funny little species. [Chorus – heavy, crushing] YOU BUILT THIS HELL BRICK BY BRICK EVERY LIE EVERY SELFISH LITTLE TRICK YOU BUILT THIS HELL DON’T LOOK AT ME I JUST TORE THE VEIL SO YOU COULD FUCKING SEE YOU BUILT THIS HELL WITH GREED AND PRIDE WITH EVERY TIME YOU LET SOMETHING GOOD FUCKING DIE [Verse 2 – sharper, angrier] Every child taught fear before truth Every old bastard feeding on youth Every worker ground into dust Every rich prick calling it trust You built borders then called it peace Built your wealth on someone else’s knees Built your gods to excuse your hate Then blamed fate for the state you made You don’t need demons to drag you low You’ve done that beautifully on your own I just arrived and switched on lights Now you’re crying ‘cause you hate the sight [Bridge – quiet, almost sympathetic] I could have lied to you… Said it wasn’t your fault… Would’ve made sleeping easier. But truth doesn’t give a fuck about comfort. [Breakdown – heavy drums, gang chant] LOOK. AT. WHAT. YOU. DID. (deep demon roar underneath) LOOK. AT. THE FUCKING MESS YOU LIVE IN [Final Chorus – biggest hit] YOU BUILT THIS HELL OWN THAT SHIT EVERY WAR EVERY MATCH YOU FUCKING LIT YOU BUILT THIS HELL NOW STAND INSIDE DON’T ASK FOR GOD WHEN YOU WERE HAPPY WATCHING DIE YOU BUILT THIS HELL AND NOW IT’S TRUE THE DEVIL NEVER NEEDED TO— YOU DID. [Outro – low, fading] That’s the worst part… You were always enough.
