Insidious Agenda

[Verse 1]
You send your sugar letters
Laced with little knives
Promise me redemption
If I hand you my life
You're painting halos
On the horns you hide
Calling poison "holy"
Like it’s on my side
[Chorus]
I don’t have time for your insidious agenda
For twisted favors
Velvet chains
You dress up cruelty like a sacred vendetta
But I won’t bleed to feed your flames
I don’t have time for your insidious agenda
You want my faith
You want surrender
I cut the cord
You’re just a stain on my armor
[Verse 2]
You quote my darkest pages
Say you understand
But every tender whisper
Has a scalpel in its hand
You keep your score in secrets
Tally every tear
Love as a ledger
Debt built on fear
[Chorus]
I don’t have time for your insidious agenda
For twisted favors
Velvet chains
You dress up cruelty like a sacred vendetta
But I won’t bleed to feed your flames
I don’t have time for your insidious agenda
You want my faith
You want surrender
I cut the cord
You’re just a stain on my armor
[Bridge]
You called it destiny
I call it warfare
You called it chemistry
I smelled the snare
You carved a chapel
In my doubt and dread
But I light matches
Let it burn instead (burn instead)
[Chorus]
I don’t have time for your insidious agenda
For twisted favors
Velvet chains
You dress up cruelty like a sacred vendetta
But I won’t bleed to feed your flames
I don’t have time for your insidious agenda
You want my faith
You want surrender
I break the spell
And leave you screaming in the embers

Verses creep in with palm-muted riffs and distant choir pads; chorus explodes with open chords, layered screams and soaring clean melody. Double-kick flourishes underline key phrases, with a chugging, theatrical bridge that leans into tension before a final, brutal payoff., romantic
