Lyrics

---

(Verse 1)

I wake up bruised from another damn day,

Carrying weight that you threw my way.

Bleeding for people who don’t even see

The quiet war that’s killing me.

You walk right past while I’m breaking inside,

Treat me like I’m nothing but a shadow you hide.

But shadows grow teeth when the pressure’s too deep—

And mine’s been crawling out of its sleep.

(Pre-Chorus)

(whisper-growl)

You think my silence makes me tame?

You think I’m bowing down in shame?

(Full voice)

But every breath I swallow burns—

And everyone breaks when the beast returns.

(Chorus)

I work every day just to lift you up,

But you shove me down like I’m not enough.

My quiet screams are turning into war—

And I won’t stay ignored anymore.

The beast inside ain’t dead—just chained—

And chains snap quick when they’re pulled with pain.

Every bone in my body would break before I’d ever give up—

Now tell me—

Do you got the guts?

Or is it all just big talk?

(Verse 2)

You spit big words with a hollow pride,

But I see the fear that you try to hide.

When it’s time to step into the dark—

You freeze, you fold, you fall apart.

I’ve held doors open while breaking my spine,

Carried your burdens and swallowed mine.

But kindness turns violent when it’s betrayed—

And now you’re standing in the storm you made.

(Pre-Chorus)

(whisper-growl)

You think I’m soft because I bleed?

You think I whisper ‘cause I plead?

(Full voice)

But even angels lose their wings—

And crawl back up with sharper things.

(Chorus)

I work every day just to lift you up,

But you shove me down like I’m not enough.

My quiet screams are turning into war—

And I won’t stay ignored anymore.

The beast inside ain’t dead—just chained—

And chains snap quick when they’re pulled with pain.

Every bone in my body would break before I’d ever give up—

Now tell me—

Do you got the guts?

Or is it all just big talk?

(Bridge — Korn-style breakdown)

(growl/whisper trade-off)

Do you feel it?

The ground shaking underneath my rage?

I’ve swallowed fire,

Now it’s burning through the cage.

You talk like giants—

But crumble like dust.

You’ve never known fear

‘Til you stand in front of us.

(full scream)

I won’t break.

I won’t bend.

Push me far enough—

You’ll see the end.

(Final Chorus — heavier)

I work every day just to lift you up,

But you cut me down like I’m not enough.

Quiet screams turn violent when they’re ignored—

And I’m not staying silent anymore.

The beast inside ain’t dead—just sleeps—

And it wakes in the dark when the anger peaks.

Every bone in my body would break before I’d ever give up—

So tell me—

You got the guts?

Or is it all…

Just.

Big.

Talk.
