Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You could've held my hand Showed me how to stand But you chose the sharper thing Turned your tongue into a brand Laughed at every little flaw Pulled the wings off my belief Called it "tough love" in the kitchen I just called it grief [Pre-Chorus] You said "One day you'll thank me" Now I only thank the dark Every lesson that you gave me Left another little mark (yeah) [Chorus] Mom You could've raised a man But you carved out what was true Now I'm heartless Cut with my words Just like you taught me to do Mom You turned my warmth to stone Left me cold and turning blue Now I burn Now I burn through people The way you burned through me too [Verse 2] I was ten At the table You were aiming for the bruise Tore the picture off the fridge Said "You're nothing but bad news" Now I sharpen every sentence Every joke got teeth and claws I wear armor made of silence Hide the child behind the walls [Pre-Chorus] You said "One day you'll see it Life will do worse things than me" But the worst thing that it gave me Was your voice inside of me (inside of me) [Chorus] Mom You could've raised a man But you carved out what was true Now I'm heartless Cut with my words Just like you taught me to do Mom You turned my warmth to stone Left me cold and turning blue Now I burn Now I burn through people The way you burned through me too [Bridge] Do you ever lose your sleep? Do my eyes still haunt your dreams? Or am I just another story You twist to keep your conscience clean? I keep saying I'll be different But your shadow's in my throat Every time I hurt somebody Feels like reading from your notes (yeah) [Chorus] Mom You could've raised a man But you carved out what was true Now I'm heartless Cut with my words Just like you taught me to do Mom You turned my warmth to stone Left me cold and turning blue Now I cut Now I cut like you did And I hate that it's all from you

Brooding alt-rap ballad with male vocals: sparse minor-key piano under a pulsing sub-bass, brushed trap hats, and distant choir pads. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus swells with layered, slightly distorted harmonies. Occasional reverse reverb swells and filtered drums heighten tension, then drop out for raw, spoken-style lines.
