Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Screens glow Dead eyes scrolling Cheap thrills Blood in the scroll Preacher sells his tattered halo For a sponsor and a goal Plastic saints at the crosswalk Laugh while ashes fall Silver tongues kiss the dagger Call it mercy Call it law [Chorus] We’re smiling at the rot Clapping while the world burns slow Shake hands with the poison Say it’s fine “that’s just how it goes” We’re blessing every wound Calling every shadow hope Yeah We’re smiling at the rot As it tightens ‘round our throats [Verse 2] Judge takes bribes in the bathroom Ink-stained hands wash clean Kids trade souls for a follow Chasing numbers in the screen Every line gets twisted backward Every sin gets redefined If it pays Then it’s righteous If it hurts We call it “kind” [Chorus] We’re smiling at the rot Clapping while the world burns slow Shake hands with the poison Say it’s fine “that’s just how it goes” We’re blessing every wound Calling every shadow hope Yeah We’re smiling at the rot As it tightens ‘round our throats [Bridge] When did we start loving the chains? (hey!) When did we start cheering the blade? Hands up high for the horror parade March in step Call it “brave” Call it “brave” [Chorus] We’re smiling at the rot Clapping while the world burns slow Shake hands with the poison Say it’s fine “that’s just how it goes” We’re blessing every wound Calling every shadow hope Yeah We’re smiling at the rot As it tightens As it chokes [Outro] Keep smiling at the rot Till it wears your face as a mask You wanted comfort You got cancer And it’s growing Growing fast
Tags
metal, Modern thrash/metalcore hybrid: down-tuned chugs, tremolo riffs, and double-kick bursts under snarled male vocals. Verses stay tight and tense with palm-muted guitars; chorus opens into half-time stomp and gang shouts. Brief dissonant lead textures in the bridge, then a final crushing breakdown with layered screams.
