"IM NOT PEACEFUL, IM NOT STABLE" [Intro: Quiet breathing. Bandages tightening around knuckles. A muffled laugh.] Heh... hehehe... "What's so funny?" [Silence.] "You wouldn't get it." [Heavy bass kicks in.] [Verse 1] White wraps, red stains, knuckles in a bind, Everybody's got a theory 'bout what's in my mind. They tell me to behave, tell me to sit still, But I've got two fists and a head full of thrills. Don't get too close, don't get too brave, I'm not the patient that you think you can save. You see these bandages? You know what they're for? Keeping all the pieces from hitting the floor. I hear that laugh, yeah, maybe it's mine, Maybe I'm just having a wonderful time. You keep on staring like you know what I've been through, I've got a little question, darlin'— "What makes you think I fear you?" [Beat drops.] [Chorus] I'm not peaceful, I'm not stable, Flip the damn desk, turn the whole room into a fable. One good punch, watch your health go down, One hard push, put your ass on the ground. Fists hit hard, make your whole head ring, One little shove, can't do a damn thing. You want me calm? Then stay away, 'Cause I'm not responsible for what I do today. [Verse 2] Fifteen to the body, feel that impact, Try to swing back, better watch your back. You step too close, I send you flying, You hit that floor, and I'm still smiling. Push you back, watch you freeze, One second's all I need. You can call the guards, you can scream for help, But you should've kept your hands to yourself. They say I'm dangerous, say I'm insane, Like I don't hear the whispers inside my brain. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong, Either way, you shouldn't have stayed this long. [Quiet laughter grows louder.] "Come on..." "GET UP." [Chorus: Distorted bass, shouted backing vocals.] I'm not peaceful, I'm not stable, Flip the damn desk, turn the whole room into a fable. One good punch, watch your health go down, One hard push, put your ass on the ground. Fists hit hard, make your whole head ring, One little shove, can't do a damn thing. You want me calm? Then stay away, 'Cause I'm not responsible for what I do today. [Bridge: Beat slows. The voice becomes quiet and unnervingly calm.] They wrapped my hands. They locked my door. They told me not to fight no more. But every time I close my eyes, I hear that laughter, hear those lies. [Pause.] "Hehehe..." [Beat stops.] "WHO'S NEXT?" [Final Verse: The beat returns heavier than before.] No hammer, no blade, no fancy disguise, Just bandaged fists and a look in my eyes. You brought your weapons, you brought your pride, Now watch how fast both get pushed aside. I'm not your friend, I'm not your savior, I'm not the type to do you favors. Keep your distance, stay in your lane, Or you'll learn real quick why they whisper my name. [Final Chorus: Full distortion, aggressive delivery.] I'm not peaceful, I'm not stable, You thought I was harmless? Well, now you're unable To stand back up, to run away, Should've listened when I said stay away. One punch lands, one push connects, You wanted a monster? What'd you expect? I'm not peaceful! "I'm NOT STABLE!" [Final bass drop.] [Quiet laughter.] "Heh... next time, don't ask."
