Payday

progressive metal, alternative metal, dark ambient

[Pre-Chorus]
But the glass is breaking, the water’s rising high
No more playing nice, no more asking why
The scale is tipped, the dam is gonna break
You took too much, there’s nothing left to take!

[Chorus]
'Cause today is Payday! (today!)
Time to collect the debt you owe
Yeah, today is my Payday! (today!)
Watch the fire finally blow
No more hiding in the shadows, no more playing meek
I’m rising up stronger for the justice that I seek
Yeah, today is my Payday!

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, you're gonna pay!

[Verse 2]
You thought that I was weak, thought that I would bend
Thought my quiet patience would never find an end
But every single insult, every single lie
Built a roaring furnace underneath my sky
I paid the price for peace, but the price was way too high
Now look me in the eyes and watch the old me die!

[Pre-Chorus]
The glass is broken, the fire's running wild
No more submission, I am no longer mild
The scale is tipped, the dam is gonna break
You took too much, there’s nothing left to take!

[Bridge]
For all the years I stayed polite
For all the tears I cried at night
The debt is due, the invoice is clear
The only thing left for you now... is fear!

[Chorus]
'Cause today is Payday! (today!)
Time to collect the debt you owe
Yeah, today is my Payday! (Payday!)
Watch the fire finally blow
No more hiding in the shadows, no more playing meek
I’m rising up stronger for the justice that I seek
Yeah, today is my Payday!

[Outro]
Yeah, the debt is settled!
No more peace at my expense!
Payday!

[Verse 1] I spent a lifetime swallowing the bitter pill Bending over backwards just to keep it still Smiling through the bruises, bleeding on the floor Locking all my anger right behind the door I was the peacemaker, walking on the glass Holding back the storm, hoping it would pass [Pre-Chorus] But the glass is breaking, the water’s rising high No more playing nice, no more asking why The scale is tipped, the dam is gonna break You took too much, there’s nothing left to take! [Chorus] 'Cause today is Payday! (today!) Time to collect the debt you owe Yeah, today is my Payday! (today!) Watch the fire finally blow No more hiding in the shadows, no more playing meek I’m rising up stronger for the justice that I seek Yeah, today is my Payday! [Post-Chorus] Oh, you're gonna pay! [Verse 2] You thought that I was weak, thought that I would bend Thought my quiet patience would never find an end But every single insult, every single lie Built a roaring furnace underneath my sky I paid the price for peace, but the price was way too high Now look me in the eyes and watch the old me die! [Pre-Chorus] The glass is broken, the fire's running wild No more submission, I am no longer mild The scale is tipped, the dam is gonna break You took too much, there’s nothing left to take!
