Love As A Weapon by JohnnyOstrum - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro — SOFT PIANO / DISTANT STATIC]

(whispered)

You said you cared.

⸻

[Verse 1 — CLEAN / BROKEN]

You held my hands like you were holy

Said I was safe, said you’d never own me

You wrapped your words around my throat

Called it love, but I couldn’t breathe

Every promise sounded like truth

Every lie wore your face

I gave you everything I was

And you taught me how to break

⸻

[Pre-Chorus — RISING / EMOTIONAL]

I stayed because I believed in us

I stayed because I believed in you

But every time you said my name

It felt like something I would lose

⸻

[Chorus — HUGE / CLEAN + SCREAM LAYERS]

You turned my love into a weapon

And aimed it straight at my heart

You said it was forever

While you were tearing me apart

You called it care, I call it control

You called it fate, I call it a hole

You turned my love into a weapon

And I didn’t see the scar

⸻

[Verse 2 — HEAVIER]

You said I was everything you needed

But you fed on every doubt I had

You kissed my wounds like they were sacred

Then taught me how to beg

I mistook your chains for shelter

I mistook your teeth for home

Now I’m bleeding in the silence

Of a war I didn’t know

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2 — GROWL UNDER CLEAN]

You pulled me close when I was weak

Said I was yours, then buried me

⸻

[Chorus — EXPANDED]

You turned my love into a weapon

And aimed it straight at my heart

You said it was forever

While you were tearing me apart

You called it care, I call it control

You called it fate, I call it a hole

You turned my love into a weapon

And I didn’t see the scar

⸻

[Breakdown — SLOW / CRUSHING]

(GUTTURAL)

YOU DON’T LOVE

YOU CONSUME

YOU DON’T CARE

YOU ENTOMB

⸻

[Bridge — CLEAN / HAUNTED]

I would’ve died for you

But you were already killing me

⸻

[Final Chorus — ALL VOCALS]

You turned my love into a weapon

And aimed it straight at my heart

You said it was forever

While you were tearing me apart

You called it care, I call it control

You called it fate, I call it a hole

You turned my love into a weapon

Now I see the scar

⸻

[Outro — WHISPER]

I finally see what you are.
