[VERSE 1 – RAP / SPOKEN WORD]
Yeah…
Wake up, hate it, hit the clock like a fist fight
Boss talk trash, I nod like he’s right
Metal in my lungs, sweat drip, steel grip
Break my back just to build their ship
Drive home—road rage, same gray view
Music fake, they sell pain like perfume
Girls lie soft with a dagger tongue
“Forever” in her mouth like a hit from a blunt
All I wanted was peace, got chaos instead
Every kiss I remember tastes like lead
She said “you’re too cold,” yeah, that’s fair
But love was a coffin and she put me there
[CHORUS – SING / DARK FUNK HOOK]
🎵 Hate the beat, but I ride it slow
Hate the love, but I can’t let go
Rot in stereo, feel me bleed
Dark is the only thing that ever believed
Hate the mirror, hate the game
Hate the drugs that kill my name
Hate this life, but I still reload
So watch me die in rot in stereo 🎵
[VERSE 2 – RAP / SLIGHT MELANCHOLY FLOW]
Paint my face in apathy
Work all week just to pay the fee
For lights, for rent, for sins I rent
For time I spend but never get back
Love was war, but I came unarmed
Trust her once, now my heart’s disarmed
Music? Dead. Ain’t no soul
Just filters, capes, and empty goals
I ain’t bitter, I’m ash in the breeze
A saint with a switchblade under my sleeve
Don’t talk dreams, I buried mine
Under weld sparks and overtime
[BRIDGE – WHISPERED / VOCODER & HARMONIZER LAYER]
(whispers layered into synths)
I don’t hate you… I hate what you made me
Love ain’t sweet—it’s rabies
Hope ain’t light—it’s lazy
Life ain’t deep—it’s crazy
[CHORUS – FULL EXPLOSION W/ VOCAL LAYERS]
🎵 Hate the beat, but I ride it slow
Hate the love, but I can’t let go
Rot in stereo, feel me bleed
Dark is the only thing that ever believed
Hate the mirror, hate the game
Hate the truth that calls my name
Hate this life, but I still reload
So watch me die in rot in stereo 🎵
[OUTRO – FADE TO REVERB / LOW VOCAL HARMONY]
(half-sung / half-rapped)
I ain’t here for fame, I ain’t here to grow
I’m just static on a tape you’ll never know
Play me backwards—hear the code
It’s just me whispering:
“Let it all erode…”
