Lyrics
[Intro — whispered]
They locked me away where the daylight died,
Called me a monster before I learned why.
A boy in a cage, with a heart full of scars,
Listening to laughter from the world beyond bars.
[Verse 1]
Born where the walls were cold and cruel,
Raised like a beast, never taught the rules.
They gave me a name, but never a voice,
Took every piece of me, left me no choice.
I learned that love was a sharpened blade,
That every hand reaching down was afraid.
So I buried the boy underneath the floor,
Until the silence couldn’t hurt anymore.
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me scream?
There’s still a child
Inside this machine.
[Chorus — explosive]
RUN!
Let the chainsaw sing tonight!
Burning through the dark,
I was born beneath the light!
SCREAM!
You made the monster that you fear!
Every cut, every scar,
Every memory is still here!
I am the roar!
I am the blade!
I am the price
For every wound you made!
[Verse 2]
The house became a kingdom of ghosts,
The walls knew my name, but they knew me the most.
No mother, no friend, no hand to hold,
Just anger growing where a heart turned cold.
They looked at my face and saw something wrong,
So I learned how to answer with something strong.
The engine awakened, the silence broke,
And something inside me finally spoke.
[Pre-Chorus — distorted]
Was I born this way?
Or did you make me?
Was I always broken?
Or did you break me?
[Chorus]
RUN!
Let the chainsaw sing tonight!
Tear apart the cage,
I won’t disappear from sight!
SCREAM!
You made the monster that you fear!
Every cut, every scar,
Every memory is still here!
I am the roar!
I am the blade!
I am the boy
That you were too afraid to save!
[Bridge — slowed, psychological]
Sometimes I hear him crying…
That little boy inside.
Sometimes I see his face
When I close my eyes.
He asks me why they hated him.
He asks me what he did.
I don’t know how to answer…
So I start the engine.
[Build — whispered → screaming]
Run from me.
Run from me.
RUN FROM ME!
You left me in the darkness—
NOW THE DARKNESS SET ME FREE!
[Final Chorus — explosive]
RUN!
Let the chainsaw split the night!
I am every nightmare
You created out of spite!
SCREAM!
There’s no forgiveness here!
You buried Max alive—
Now the Hillbilly’s here!
I am the roar!
I am the blade!
I am the ghost
Of the child you never saved!
[Outro — fading whisper]
Was I born a monster…?
Or was I made one?
The engine answers.
