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
