DullBlah[Intro]
(Sound of a match being struck, then a long exhale. A heavy, distorted bass line hums in the background.)
(Whispered, close to mic) Zip it up. Lock it down. Don't... make... a sound.
[Verse 1]
Walking on eggshells, floorboards are creaking,
Every word I say, I feel the foundation weakening.
The family portrait is hanging, but the glass is all cracked,
I’m carrying a backpack of trauma, and it’s breaking my back.
I see the monster at the table, yeah, the one with the grin,
My b***d turns to acid when they let the "in-law" in.
I know the truth about the predators, the sickness, the prey,
I got a hatred b*****g in me that won't go away.
But I swallow the bile, yeah, I swallow the rage,
Just a rat stuck running in a golden cage.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I open my mouth, the roof caves in.
If I speak the truth, the w*r begins.
I’m the villain if I talk, I’m the victim if I don’t.
You think I’ll forgive? I promise I won’t.
[Chorus]
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! KEEP IT INSIDE!
SWALLOW THE PILL OR THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE!
One wrong word and the ultimatum drops!
"I'm leaving you, I'm leaving!" — IT NEVER STOPS!
I’m holding the g*****e with the pin pulled out!
Silence is the only thing I’m allowed to shout!
(Guttural Roar) SILENCE IS A W*R!
[Verse 2]
Back in the kitchen, tension cutting like a k***e,
Walking the wire, trying to keep the wife.
"If it doesn't go my way, then I'm out the door,"
I’m tired of the threats, I can't take it no more.
And the kids? Yeah, the house is flipping upside down,
I see things changing, twisting all around.
I got beliefs, I got a code, I got a line in the sand,
But I’m forced to nod along to things I can’t understand.
I bite my tongue 'til the b***d fills up my cheek,
'Cause if I say "I don't believe," then I’m the freak.
So I watch the show, yeah, I watch the play,
Dying by inches every single day.
[Bridge]
(Music drops to a minimal, distorted pulse. Voice heavily processed, robotic and angry.)
Trauma... (check)
Hatred... (check)
Threats... (check)
Secrets... (check)
The pedophile breathes... and I do nothing.
The threats come down... and I do nothing.
The world turns strange... and I do nothing.
(Guitars screech back in) BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP THE PEACE!
[Guitar Solo / Trap Break]
(Frantic, high-pitched guitar screeching over a double-time trap b**t. Pure chaos.)
[Final Chorus]
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! KEEP IT INSIDE!
SWALLOW THE PILL OR THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE!
One wrong word and the ultimatum drops!
"I'm leaving you, I'm leaving!" — IT NEVER STOPS!
I’m holding the g*****e with the pin pulled out!
The w*r is in my head, there's no doubt!
[Outro]
(Sudden stop of guitars. Just heavy breathing and the trap bass beating slowly.)
(Spoken, exhausted) W*r started anyway. Just nobody heard the first shot.
(Sound of a door slamming shut.)
