[Intro – ghostly ambient, cracked strings, distant child's laughter warping into silence]
🎧 “They see the hand, not the hurt.”
🎧 “They see the rage, not the birth.”
💥 [Beat drops: drums crack like glass, horns slow and mournful, low-end kicks]
---
[Chorus – hollow and melodic, layered like echoes in ruins]
🎶
I’m better now… at watching things fall
No hope left, just silence calls
They gave me a world, then took it away
So I walk through the ashes they made
No cape, no light, no final vow
But I learned how to break — I’m better now
I’m not here to save, I’m not here to bow
I’m here 'cause they left me nothing but “how?” 🎶
---
[Verse 1 – slow, painful cadence, bars feel like dragging chains]
They don’t see the boy with a mother’s smile
Just a monster who’s walked too many miles
I begged for a hand, I got a command
“Be quiet,” they said, “you wouldn’t understand”
Family rotted, so I learned decay
Every touch a curse, every night I’d pray
But no god came — just dust and screams
So I stitched my soul into villainous dreams
I didn’t choose to be what I became
But you made a weapon, then gave it my name
Now they run when I lift my palm
But I was just crying out for a calm
---
[Chorus – slight distortion, backing ghost-choir whispers, “better now” repeats]
🎶
I’m better now… at watching things fall
No hope left, just silence calls
They gave me a world, then took it away
So I walk through the ashes they made
No cape, no light, no final vow
But I learned how to break — I’m better now
I’m not here to save, I’m not here to bow
I’m here 'cause they left me nothing but “how?” 🎶
---
[Verse 2 – faster, more confident delivery, but still mournful]
I was never their hero, just a scar in the scene
Another kid buried under their machine
You raised a hammer — now fear what it builds
A shattered crown over corpses and guilt
They preach about peace like it ain’t too late
But where was your peace when you sealed my fate?
Your cities are glass, and I’ve seen ‘em break
So I carry collapse with every step I take
This is evolution in its ugliest form
Love turned to loss, now the fury is born
No mask, no tears, just me and the dust
I don’t need your truth — I’ve learned not to trust
---
[Bridge – soft piano, breathy falsetto adlibs, almost lullaby]
🎶
You say I lost my way
But maybe the way was gone
And maybe I’d still be kind
If someone had held on... 🎶
🎧 “I didn’t start the fire…
But I learned to live in it.”
---
[Final Chorus – thunderous production, war drums, ghost-choir full]
🎶
I’m better now… at watching things fall
No hope left, just silence calls
They gave me a world, then took it away
So I walk through the ashes they made
No cape, no light, no final vow
But I learned how to break — I’m better now
No hero in sight, just vengeance endowed
So let it all rot — I’m better now 🎶
---
[Outro – slow fade, wind over ruins, child’s hum fadi
