Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 (Low, brooding riff) I learned your face before I learned the lie Same hands that held me taught me how to bleed Sunday smiles, kitchen-table wars You said “family,” I heard “don’t speak” I carried your name like a loaded gun Safety off, pointed at my chest Every promise carved in bone Every silence did the rest Pre-Chorus (Rising tension) You cut me deep and called it love Left me drowning, said “be tough” If this is blood, then tell me why It feels like poison every time Chorus (Explosive, full distortion) YOU TURNED YOUR BACK WHEN I NEEDED A SHIELD FAMILY FLESH BUT THE WOUNDS ARE REAL I’M TRYING TO BREATHE THROUGH THE SMOKE YOU MADE SURVIVING THE FIRE YOU WALKED AWAY DON’T SAY MY NAME LIKE YOU OWN MY PAIN BLOOD ISN’T LOYAL—IT JUST STAINS Verse 2 (Fast, aggressive) I bit my tongue till I tasted rust Held the line while you built your throne You fed on fear, you fed on trust Then told me I was on my own Every secret was currency Every weakness a knife to trade You called it “truth,” I call it war I call it scars that never fade Breakdown (Half-time, crushing) Say it’s “just how family is” Say “forgive,” say “let it go” But you never carried this weight You never felt this low Low growl: I’m still standing in the wreckage You’re still asking why I’m cold Chorus (Bigger, layered vocals) YOU TURNED YOUR BACK WHEN I NEEDED A SHIELD FAMILY FLESH BUT THE WOUNDS ARE REAL I’M TRYING TO HEAL WITH SHAKING HANDS LEARNING TO LIVE WHERE I STAND DON’T PREACH TO ME ABOUT BLOOD AND GRACE WHEN YOU LEFT ME HERE TO FACE IT Bridge (Quiet → build, emotional) Maybe I’ll never get the apology Maybe closure’s just a word But I won’t bleed out for your peace I won’t choke on what you never heard (Drums build, guitars swell) Final Chorus (Anthem, defiant) I’M BREAKING FREE FROM THE CHAINS YOU MADE I’M NOT YOUR SIN, I’M NOT YOUR SHAME I’LL CARRY THE PAIN BUT NOT YOUR NAME I SURVIVED THE TRUTH YOU COULDN’T FACE THIS IS ME COPING—SCREAMING ALIVE I LOST MY FAMILY BUT I KEPT MY SPINE Outro (Slow, heavy) Blood isn’t bulletproof But I am.
