Against All and All (The Meat & The Malice)

CUSTOM

[Intro] [Eerie silence punctuated by heavy, ragged breathing] [Dissonant, clean guitar melody—unsettling and slow] Designation... Subject Zero... Status ... Utterly inadequate... A statistical anomaly... ... [Whisper] ... I remember the sound... Not the words. Just the wet sound of your laughter... You looked at me like I was something stuck to the bottom of your shoe... [Sudden, piercing feedback] Well... look closer. [Verse 1] [Syncopated Thall Riffs - Heavy and jarring] [Guttural Lows] Walk the hall. Hold the breath. The air is thick with the scent of your boredom. You carved your names into the desk, While you carved your silence into my chest. I am a collection of bruises you forgot you gave. [Stop] [Pre-Chorus] [Manic, high-pitched vocals - Kyo style] Is this what you wanted? To see the light go out? To watch the "weak thing" crawl? [Whistle Scream] EYES OPEN!. [Chorus] [Wall of Sound / Melodic but Distorted] [Operatic, Painful Vocals] Against all and all, I rise from the ashes! Against all... I am the ghost you created! A phoenix birthed from embers, destined to burn... But I don't need your mercy; I’ve swallowed your hate! Through the fire and the fury, I shatter the past— It’s burning a hole through the floor of my soul! With vengeance in my veins, I’ll claim my right! I am the monster that grew in your dark! [Verse 2] [Chaotic, shifting rhythms] [Gritty, Spoken/Screamed mix] Remember the bathroom floor? The cold tile? The way you looked down and felt... nothing? That "nothing" is a poison. It’s a cancer. I’ve been drinking it for years. Now I’m overflowing. I hope you like the taste of what you made me. [Manic Laughter] [Pre-Chorus] [Manic, high-pitched vocals - Kyo style] Is this what you wanted? To see the light go out? To watch the "weak thing" crawl? [Whistle Scream] EYES OPEN!. [Chorus] [Wall of Sound / Melodic but Distorted] [Operatic, Painful Vocals] Against all and all, I rise from the ashes! Against all... I am the ghost you created! A phoenix birthed from embers, destined to burn... But I don't need your mercy; I’ve swallowed your hate! Through the fire and the fury, I shatter the past— It’s burning a hole through the floor of my soul! With vengeance in my veins, I’ll claim my right! I am the monster that grew in your dark! [Bridge] [Atmospheric / Minimalist / Creepy] [Sobbing turning into a low, vibrating growl] I used to pray for peace. Now I pray for the memory of your face... ...when you realize I’m not afraid to break anymore. [Pick Scrape] A broken plate can still cut a throat. [Breakdown] [The "Heavy" moment - Extremely slow and dissonant] [Deep Guttural] YOU. ARE. NOTHING. [Stop] YUGH! [Massive Pitch-Shifted Riff] AGAINST ALL! AGAINST THE WORLD! I AM STILL BREATHING! [Outro] [Melancholic piano over a heavy, distorted drone] [Spoken Word - Cold and steady] I’m not a survivor. I’m the consequence. Go on. Laugh again. I want to remember exactly where to aim. [End] [Final, abrupt cut to silence] ...I’ll turn this rage to power, ...let it fuel the life I’ve bred ...
