No Hate Left To Feed

[(Feedback hum. A single muted guitar string rings out.)]

We don’t need more enemies.

One — two — three — four!

⸻

[Verse 1]

You sell me anger like it’s gasoline
Pour it on thick through a tiny screen
Tell me who I’m supposed to blame
Give me a face, give it a name

But I’m tired of swallowing every lie
Tired of living in a battle cry
You want a war? I want release
You scream for chaos — I scream for peace

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

We don’t need another enemy
We don’t need another line
Drawn in permanent marker
Across the human spine

⸻

[Chorus]

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO HATE LEFT TO FEED?
NO MATCH TO STRIKE, NO WOUND TO BLEED?
NO FUEL FOR THE FIRE YOU’RE TRYING TO START?
JUST A LOUD GUITAR AND A BEATING HEART

HEY!
WE’RE NOT YOUR ARMY
HEY!
WE’RE NOT YOUR FIGHT
WE’RE NOT GONNA BURN IT DOWN
JUST TO FEEL ALIVE

⸻

[Verse 2]

You build your empire out of outrage
Sell me fury page by page
Turn my neighbor into threat
Keep me angry, keep me set

But I don’t buy the fear you sell
I won’t live in your private hell
You want division? I want air
Something honest, something fair

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

We don’t need another enemy
We don’t need another line
Drawn in permanent marker
Across the human spine

⸻

[Chorus]

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO HATE LEFT TO FEED?
NO LINES IN THE DIRT WE DON’T NEED?
NO FEAR TO SELL, NO RAGE TO BUY?
JUST TRUTH TOO LOUD TO DENY

HEY!
WE’RE STILL HUMAN
HEY!
WE STILL BLEED
AND WE’RE NOT GIVING UP
ON WHAT WE COULD BE

⸻

[Bridge (Half-time, heavy tom groove)]

I don’t wanna fight you
I don’t wanna lose
Another friend, another voice
To headlines and abuse

We’re bleeding from the same cut
Breathing the same air
Living in the fallout
Of someone else’s fear

If we’re gonna tear something down
Let it be the walls inside
If we’re gonna raise our fists
Let it be for something right

⸻

[Final Chorus (Full throttle)]

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO HATE LEFT TO FEED?
NO LINES IN THE DIRT WE DON’T NEED?
NO KIDS GROWING UP THINKING WAR IS NORMAL?
NO LOVE FEELING “CONTROVERSIAL”?

HEY!
WE’RE STILL HUMAN
HEY!
WE STILL BLEED
AND WE’RE NOT GIVING UP
ON WHAT WE COULD BE

⸻

[Break (Bass + floor tom only)]

We don’t need more enemies!
We don’t need more flames!
We don’t need another war
Just to feel okay!

⸻

[Gang Vocal Outro (Fast, chaotic, whole room shouting)]

NO HATE LEFT TO FEED!
NO HATE LEFT TO FEED!
NO HATE LEFT TO FEED!

HEY! HEY! HEY!

NO HATE LEFT TO FEED!
NO HATE LEFT TO FEED!
WE’RE DONE PLAYING THEIR GAME!
