Death knows it.
[Verse 1]
I wake up allergic to comfort and lies
No halo, no devil—just open eyes
They sell me hope with a brand-new face
But truth still leaks through the cracks in the paint
Fear ain’t weakness, fear is sight
It’s what you feel when the veil gets sliced
They tell me “breathe, behave, believe”
I learned early: nothing’s free
[Pre-Chorus]
I stood at the edge, didn’t beg, didn’t plead
Just asked the void what it wanted from me
My hands were shaking, but my spine was straight
I don’t fear the fall—I fear the fake
[Chorus – SCREAM]
I’M SCAAAARED
OF THE WORLD AS IT IS
I’M SCAAAARED
OF THE COMFORT THEY GIVE
I’M SCAAAARED
I CAN SEE THROUGH THE GAME
I’M SCAAAARED
AND HYENA’S MY NAME
[Verse 2 – Death Speaks]
I chose death—
death chose to spare me
Not as a favor,
She looked at me cold, said “barely.”
Said “No peace for you, no gentle end
You see too clear, you’d ruin the myth
I’ll leave you breathing, eyes wide open
No slogans, no gods, no words pre-written.”
She said “Live it raw. No propaganda.
No flags to hide behind. No handed answers.
You don’t get rest, you get perspective—
That’s the torture I perfected.”
[Breakdown – slow, crushing]
DEATH DIDN’T SAVE ME
SHE CONDEMNED ME
TO WATCH THE WORLD
AS IT EMPTY
NO SCRIPT
NO VEIL
NO LIE TO EAT
JUST LIFE
UNFILTERED
AT MY TEETH
[Chorus – heavier, commanding]
I’M SCAAAARED
OF BECOMING A TOOL
I’M SCAAAARED
OF OBEYING THE RULES
I’M SCAAAARED
‘CAUSE I KNOW WHAT I SEE
I’M SCAAAARED
AND IT SETS ME FREE
[Bridge – spoken to scream, pure aura]
Death said:
“Hyena, you don’t get to disappear.
You get to live long enough to understand.”
And that—
That was the sentence.
[Final Chorus – all out]
I’M SCAAAARED
BUT I WALK UNCHAINED
I’M SCAAAARED
NO BANNER IN MY BRAIN
I’M SCAAAARED
DEATH LEFT ME ALIVE
I’M SCAAAARED
SO I SEE—AND I SURVIVE
[Outro – cold, absolute]
I didn’t escape death.
She weaponized my life.
Say my name.
(Whisper)
Hyena..
Death heard it.
Death refused it.
[Verse I – slow doom crawl]
Born allergic to comfort and lies
No halo stitched to my eyes
I see the seams in the flags they wave
Hear the prayers rehearsed, pre-saved
They sell peace like a branded drug
Smile sharp, hands in gloves
Fear ain’t weakness—fear is sight
It’s what you feel when the veil gets sliced
[Pre-Chorus – tension rising]
I stood at the edge, didn’t beg, didn’t kneel
Asked the void what was real
My hands shook, my spine stayed straight
I don’t fear the fall—I fear the fake
[Chorus – SCREAM, slow and massive]
I’M SCAAAARED
OF THE WORLD AS IT IS
I’M SCAAAARED
OF THE COMFORT THEY GIVE
I’M SCAAAARED
I SEE THROUGH THE GAME
I’M SCAAAARED
AND HYENA’S MY NAME
[Verse II – Death speaks, cold authority]
I chose death—
death chose to spare me
Not mercy—she stared through me
Said “You don’t get peace, you don’t get sleep
You see too clear, you’d rot the myth.”
“No propaganda. No borrowed gods.
No slogans to numb the cost.
You’ll breathe with eyes unsealed,
That’s how I make the seeing kneel.”
(Whisper)
DEATH DID
