Verse 1
Chains bite cold into the concrete floor
He laughs so sweet behind the steel door
Count down slow — one, two, three
Every bone I break is the old me
White room stinks of iron and sweat
He says pain’s the only thing I get
“Can you feel it? Tell me the score”
I scream till my throat is raw and sore
Hide’s face fades, Touka’s light dims
All I am is blood and him
Pre-Chorus
Snap the finger, crack the rib
Humanity’s wearing thin, thin, thin
Count to ten or count to hell
I can’t tell where I end and the darkness dwells
Chorus
Break the body, break the mind
Kill the boy the monster hides inside
One hundred and three… one hundred and four…
I don’t feel the hurt anymore
Flesh gives way, bones turn to dust
Every shatter is a memory I lose
Jason’s voice is a knife in my head
The Kaneki I was is dead, dead, dead
Verse 2
He plucks my fingers one by one
Says “pain is proof you’re not the only one”
I used to beg, I used to cry
Now I watch the ceiling and I don’t try
No more prayers, no more please
Just the hunger growing underneath
Skin feels tight, eyes burn red
The boy who loved books is long gone dead
He broke me down piece by piece
Till the monster was the only release
Pre-Chorus
Snap the finger, crack the rib
Humanity’s wearing thin, thin, thin
Count to ten or count to hell
I can’t tell where I end and the darkness dwells
Chorus
Break the body, break the mind
Kill the boy the monster hides inside
One hundred and three… one hundred and four…
I don’t feel the hurt anymore
Flesh gives way, bones turn to dust
Every shatter is a memory I lose
Jason’s voice is a knife in my head
The Kaneki I was is dead, dead, dead
Bridge
(beat drops to slow, jagged heartbeat — vocals fractured, overlapping, whispering then screaming)
One hundred and twenty… one hundred and twenty three…
It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t hurt.
WHY DOESN’T IT HURT?!
He broke the cage. He broke the cage.
The thing inside was always there —
I WAS NEVER HUMAN, NEVER FAIR!
I lied to myself, I wore their skin —
THE MONSTER WAS ALWAYS WINNING!
(glitch screech, bass slams in — distorted, unhinged)
I AM NOT THE ONE WHO’S BROKEN NOW.
I AM THE TEETH. I AM THE PROUD.
Final Chorus
(double-time, screaming, layered — human voice gone, only the ghoul)
BREAK THE BODY! BREAK THE MIND!
LET THE BEAST CONSUME THE LIGHT!
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN… ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT…
I AM THE HURT. I AM THE HATE!
Flesh is dust, bones are ash —
I’M THE NIGHTMARE YOU CAN’T UNLEASH BACK!
Jason’s silence fills the room —
THE OLD ME DIED. THE NEW ME CONSUMES!
Outro
(fading — low distorted hum, distant bone crunch, one final whisper)
…128…
…Thank you…
(cut to silence)
