Lyrics

Verse 1 (snarled, restrained anger)

Radio hissing, knuckles white

Head full of noise, teeth locked tight

I built this mess brick by brick

Called it power, called it sick

Every promise I ever made

Died real slow in a shallow grave

I saw the signs, I shut my eyes

Now I’m choking on my own lies

Pre-Chorus (rising tension)

I don’t pray — I don’t sleep

I just count the damage deep

Every step I thought I won

Just pulled the trigger — now it’s done

Chorus (explosive, shouted melody)

I’m LOADED — no safety on

Heart beats like a ticking bomb

I knew the cost, I paid it twice

Still rolled the dice, still burned my life

I’m LOADED — feel it crack

Every road just circles back

I wanted more, I wanted fast

Now I’m buried in the past

Verse 2 (more bite, Offspring drive)

They told me stop — I laughed it off

Called it fear, called it soft

Now every face I ever crossed

Shows up when the lights go off

I don’t blame her, I don’t lie

This was me the whole damn time

Every kiss, every excuse

Just another fuse I lit to lose

Pre-Chorus

Hands still shake, stomach knots

I feel the weight of every shot

I chased control, I chased the flame

Now I don’t recognize my name

Chorus

I’m LOADED — no safety on

Heart beats like a ticking bomb

I knew the cost, I paid it twice

Still rolled the dice, still burned my life

I’m LOADED — feel it crack

Every road just circles back

I wanted more, I wanted fast

Now I’m buried in the past

Bridge (Chevelle-style breakdown)

(half-time, low and vicious)

I don’t need forgiveness

I don’t need relief

I just need the truth to hit

And knock some sense into me

(pause)

I chased the high

I fed the lie

I crossed the line

A thousand times

Bridge 2 (Full eruption)

Let it hit — let it hurt

Strip the pride, dig the dirt

If this is hell, I earned my stay

I made the choice — I’ll take the blame

Final Chorus (biggest, angriest)

I’m LOADED — don’t save me now

I lit the match, I burned it down

I knew the truth, I turned away

Now every night I get to pay

I’m LOADED — feel the weight

Of every choice I couldn’t face

I wanted love, I wanted war

Now I don’t know what I’m fighting for

Outro (slow, ringing chords, regret-heavy)

Loaded heart

Loaded hands

I had a chance — I let it end

This ain’t fate

This ain’t God

Just me… and what I’ve lost
