The anger I did not forge

[Drop c tuning guitar]
[intro X2]
[C5     Ab5     Eb5     Bb5]




[verse 1]
[C5]
An anger I did not forge controls me
[Ab5]
Like a cancer, it consumes me
[Eb5]
Till I don’t recognize my face
[Bb5]
In a world that showed no mercy

[C5]
I chose thunder in its place
[Ab5]
I can feel it taking over
[Eb5]
Every breath, every mistake
[Bb5]
Like a fire I can’t escape


[verse 2]

[C5]
I adapted to a life without feeling
[Ab5]
Not by choice, but by need
[Eb5]
When I begged for light and mercy
[Bb5]
All I got was darkness feeding me
[C5]
Now I walk through something broken
[Ab5]
Something I don’t understand
[Eb5]
I don’t know the man I was
[Bb5]
I don’t know who I am


[chorus 1]

[C5]
I became the villain they created
[Bb5]
Built from everything I hated
[Ab5]
Now the fire’s all I know
[Ab5]
And I can’t let go
[C5]
I became the anger I was given
[Bb5]
A cold heart barely living
[Ab5]
Now the cancer’s in control
[Ab5]
And it won’t let go


[verse 3]

[C5]
There’s a voice I barely recognize
[Ab5]
Echoes buried deep inside
[Eb5]
Telling me I wasn’t always this
[Bb5]
Before something in me died


[chorus 2]

[C5]
I became the villain they created
[Bb5]
Built from everything I hated
[Ab5]
Now the fire’s all I know
[Ab5]
And I can’t let go
[C5]
I became the anger I was given
[Bb5]
A cold heart barely living
[Ab5]
Now the cancer’s in control
[Ab5]
And it won’t let go


[Bridge]

[Ab5]
I never wanted this…
[Bb5]
I never asked to be this way…
[C5]
But the world kept pushing…

[Ab5]
Till there was nothing left to save…
[Bb5]
Nothing left to fight…
[C5]
Nothing left but rage…



[Final chorus]

[C5]
I became the villain they created
[Bb5]
Built from everything I hated
[Ab5]
Now the fire’s all I know
[Ab5]
And I can’t let go
[C5]
I became the anger I was given
[Bb5]
A cold heart barely living
[Ab5]
Now the cancer’s in control
[Ab5]
And it won’t let go


[Outro]

[C5]
Just like that…

[C5]
The anger I did not forge controls…

[C5]
And the cancer grows…
[Fade out]
