Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You laugh too loud At the teeth I hide You tap my cage Like it’s all a ride Quiet woods in my chest You keep kicking at the door You think you know my limits You don’t know this war [Chorus] Don’t poke the bear Just let it sleep You think I’m soft But you’re in too deep Don’t poke the bear Don’t test my calm You touch my tide You get dragged by the storm [Verse 2] You call me tame ‘Cause I walk away Mistake my mercy For feeling afraid You paint your threats Like fire in the air But you’re made of paper I’m made of lair [Chorus] Don’t poke the bear Just let it sleep You think I’m soft But you’re in too deep Don’t poke the bear Don’t test my calm That gentle growl Is a loaded jaw [Bridge] Step one closer Hear branches crack (hey!) That’s not thunder That’s me snapping back You wanted monsters? You dragged me here You wanted proof? Now choke on your fear [Chorus] Don’t poke the bear Just let it sleep You think I’m weak Till you feel these teeth Don’t poke the bear Don’t call my bluff You wanted claws You’ll bleed for your fun

metal, 70s doom metal stomp with downtuned guitars, slow crawling tempo, and male vocals drenched in plate reverb. Verses ride a single ominous riff and roomy drums; chorus explodes with stacked power chords, gang shouts, and a snarling lead. Mid-song, the band pushes into a heavier half-time feel with sustained feedback swells and a unison riff that locks bass and guitar., gentle, doom metal
