🩸 LYRICS
Intro (impact hit):
You stabbed me in the back
With my own trust
⸻
Verse 1:
I handed you my spine
You turned it into steps
Climbed your way to nothing
Over everything I left
I watched the mask slip off
Behind your fucking smile
You sold me out for comfort
And called it survival
⸻
Pre-Chorus (cut → tension):
You didn’t choose the truth
You chose yourself
⸻
Chorus (POWERFUL, ANTHEMIC, BRUTAL):
You burned the bridge while I stood on it
And smiled as I fell below
Betrayal carved into my chest
Now every breath is war
You wore my name like a weapon
And aimed it straight at me
If loyalty is weakness
Then I’ll die fucking free
⸻
Verse 2 (faster, tighter):
I kept you close like family
You kept me as a shield
Let me take the damage
So you never had to feel
Now your shadow’s choking me
But I refuse to break
I’ll rip the knife from my back
And drive it through your faith
⸻
Chorus (repeat — layered, bigger):
You burned the bridge while I stood on it
And smiled as I fell below
Betrayal carved into my chest
Now every breath is war
⸻
[⚠️ DRUM BUILDUP → FAST CHUGGING BREAKDOWN]
BUILDUP (INSTRUMENTAL — NO VOCALS):
(Isolated snare hits at first)
(Snare pattern increases in speed)
(Toms enter, rolling and swelling)
(Double-kick gradually fades in)
(Rising tension, no guitars at first)
(Short pause before impact)
⸻
BREAKDOWN (INSTRUMENTAL ONLY):
(Fast, aggressive breakdown
Relentless palm-muted chugs
Galloping rhythm guitars
Double-kick locked perfectly to chugs
No melody
No ambience
Pure forward motion and violence)
(High-energy pit-destroying breakdown)
⸻
Final Chorus 1 (last hit — full force):
You taught me what betrayal is
Now watch me become it
Final Chorus 2 (last hit-impactful, powerful high singing)
You burned the bridge while I stood on it
And smiled as I fell below
Betrayal carved into my chest
Now every breath is war
You wore my name like a weapon
And aimed it straight at me
If loyalty is weakness
Then I’ll die fucking free
⸻
Outro (short, violent stop):
Trust
Is dead
AbandonAllVows
