[INTRO – muted guitar, tension]
(LOW GUITAR PICKING)
You think I don’t notice…
You think I don’t hear it…
---
[VERSE 1 – controlled, direct]
You talk like I’m not in the room
Like I won’t find out what you do
You build your truth out of lies
Then get caught and act surprised
You play the victim so well
While dragging names through your hell
You smile and sharpen the blade
Then hide it under your praise
---
[PRE-CHORUS – tension rise]
Don’t look away—
Don’t bite your tongue now
You said enough when I wasn’t around
---
[BREATH / BUILD]
[CHORUS – punchy, anthemic]
[SUNG/YELL]
SAY IT TO MY FACE—DON’T HIDE BEHIND THE CROWD!
IF YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY—THEN SAY IT OUT LOUD!
I’M DONE WITH THE WHISPERS, THE BACK-OF-THE-ROOM
YOU TALK LIKE A KING—BUT YOU MOVE LIKE A FOOL!
(YEAH!)
---
[RIFF]
---
[VERSE 2 – more aggressive]
You twist every word that I say
Then act like I’m the one to blame
You feed off the sound of your voice
We listen like we really had a choice
You wanted a war, made it clear
So say it now—don’t hide in fear
You don’t get to play on both sides
Speak out of turn then run and hide
---
[PRE-CHORUS]
No more excuses
No more disguise
If you meant it—say it to my eyes
---
[CHORUS – bigger]
[SUNG/YELL]
SAY IT TO MY FACE—DON’T HIDE BEHIND THE CROWD!
IF YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY—THEN SAY IT OUT LOUD!
I’M DONE WITH THE WHISPERS, THE BACK-OF-THE-ROOM
YOU TALK LIKE A KING—BUT YOU MOVE LIKE A FOOL!
---
[BRIDGE – stripped, emotional truth]
(CLEAN GUITAR)
I gave you space
I gave you time
I let you read between the lines
But now I see
what you became—
A voice with nothing left to say
---
[BUILD – drums return]
Say it now…
Say it now…
---
[FINAL PUSH]
[FINAL CHORUS – full energy]
[FULL BAND]
[SUNG/YELL]
SAY IT TO MY FACE—NO MORE HIDING YOUR SOUND!
IF YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY—DON’T WAIT ‘TIL I’M GONE!
I’M DONE WITH THE LIES, THE WAY YOU PERFORM
YOU BUILT YOUR THRONE—ON A RUMOR YOU SOLD!
---
[OUTRO – abrupt end]
(GUITAR HIT)
Then say it.
(SILENCE)
