Debt Collector

Intro (Clean guitar → distant noise build)

(whisper)

You kept count…

So did I…

(distortion hits)

⸻

Verse 1

I was raised where the silence cuts deep

Where the strong don’t talk, they just don’t sleep

Every lesson came with a price to pay

And every word you said still echoes today

You threw stones while I built my skin

Turned every loss into discipline

Now I walk like I’ve got nothing left—

That’s the kind of man you should respect

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You lit the match—now watch it burn

Every line you crossed, I return

⸻

Chorus

I’m the debt collector—call my name

Every scar you gave, I reclaim

You can run but you can’t outpace

All the ghosts you left in my place

I don’t forget, I don’t forgive

I just take back what you took from me

If you want peace—you picked the wrong war

I don’t knock—I kick down doors

⸻

Verse 2

You don’t know what it cost to stand

When the world keeps crushing your hands

I’ve been dragged through the mud and stone

Still came back stronger on my own

You talk loud but your voice ain’t real

I’ve been quiet sharpening steel

Every second you doubted me—

Built the man you’re scared to see

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Now the tables turn, now the roles reverse

You built the pain—I became the curse

⸻

Chorus

I’m the debt collector—call my name

Every scar you gave, I reclaim

You can run but you can’t outpace

All the ghosts you left in my place

I don’t forget, I don’t forgive

I just take back what you took from me

If you want peace—you picked the wrong war

I don’t knock—I kick down doors

⸻

Post-Chorus (Half-time / Chant)

PAY UP

PAY UP

You don’t walk away that easy

PAY UP

PAY UP

You still owe a piece of me

⸻

Bridge (Strip down → emotional clean vocals)

I carried weight you’ll never feel

Buried wounds that never healed

Every night I bit my tongue

Every war I never won

(soft harmony layer)

But something changed inside my chest…

I stopped hoping—you know the rest

⸻

Build (Drums + ambient guitar swell)

(whisper → growl)

Now I’m done…

Now I’m done…

NOW I’M DONE HOLDING BACK

⸻

Breakdown (Heavy / Crowd Chant)

YOU MADE ME THIS

SAY MY NAME

YOU BUILT THE FIRE

FEEL THE FLAME

YOU MADE ME THIS

OWN THE PAIN

I’M WHAT’S LEFT

WHEN YOU BREAK A MAN
