[Verse 1]
Peeling posters off the wall
Same four corners, heard it all
Fake smiles in the morning light
Another day, another fight
Small talk like it’s scripted lines
They ask, “You good?” I say, “I’m fine”
But every word’s a loaded gun
This place is hell, but dressed in fun
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the same sky, different cage
Counting days like counting change
Wish I could scream without a sound
But I’m too tired to break down
---
[Chorus]
I hate it here — every street, every stare
Like I’m breathing someone else’s air
The noise, the lies, the painted cheer
I wanna run but I’m stuck in fear
Don’t say “it gets better,” I’m not there
I hate it here — and no one cares
---
[Verse 2]
They love the mask, they hate the truth
Smile for pics, then cut you loose
Tell me dreams are just a phase
While they rot in 9-to-5 malaise
I tried to blend, I tried to bend
But I’m too sharp to just pretend
My roots are breaking through the floor
I can't stay here anymore
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I scream inside with every laugh
Like I’m a ghost in my own past
If this is home, then what’s escape?
I’m just a glitch they can’t reshape
---
[Chorus]
I hate it here — the silence, the spin
The empty words that never sink in
The fake support, the backroom sneers
The same old script I’ve played for years
Don’t say “just wait,” I’m out of tears
I hate it here — let me disappear
---
[Instrumental Break – distorted guitars, heavy beat drop]
(whispers fading in: “get me out... get me out...”)
---
[Bridge – soft to explosive]
If leaving makes me selfish
Then I guess I’ll wear the crown
If flying makes me reckless
I’d rather crash than drown
---
[Final Chorus – high energy, layered vocals]
I hate it here — I’ve said enough
Tired of pretending I’m tough
This heart, this voice, this restless fear
Deserves a life that feels sincere
No more masks, no more veneer
I hate it here…
But I won’t stay here
Dayzzz
