Hate Me

(Intro – dark, mechanical tone) Go on… Say it… (Verse 1) Static in my head, got a voice on repeat Tellin’ me I’m nothing, grindin’ me beneath Cold steel nerves, yeah I don’t break easy But you keep pushin’ like you wanna see me bleed You talk slick, but it’s all disguise Fake love comin’ with a knife inside Every word like a hit, yeah I feel that sting But I learned real fast it don’t mean a thing (Pre-Chorus) You can drag my name through the dirt Try to twist it, make it hurt But I’m still standin’ in the flames While you’re chokin’ on the hate (Chorus) Go on, hate me — I don’t give a damn Throw your shots, I still stand where I am Break me, try — yeah you’ll never see You’re just fuel to the fire in me Go on, hate me — scream it loud I rise up when you push me down Say my name like it’s your disease Yeah… go on, hate me (Verse 2) Black boots stompin’, heart wired tight Got that rage burnin’ neon bright You throw shade but I see right through All that shit says more ‘bout you I’ve been down in the dirt, I’ve crawled back up Every scar turned to armor, now I’m built too tough You can try to break me, try to watch me fall But I don’t feel fear — not at all (Pre-Chorus) You can spit venom, play your game Try to drown me in your blame But I’m stronger than your chains And I’m done feelin’ your pain (Chorus) Go on, hate me — I don’t give a damn Throw your shots, I still stand where I am Break me, try — yeah you’ll never see You’re just fuel to the fire in me Go on, hate me — scream it loud I rise up when you push me down Say my name like it’s your disease Yeah… go on, hate me (Bridge – industrial breakdown vibe) Load it up — your words like a weapon Pull the trigger, learn your lesson I don’t bend, I don’t crack Every hit just pulls me back Yeah — you made me this way Now I’m done feelin’ your weight Turn your hate into my crown Watch me take it, wear it proud (Break / half-time) So go ahead… Say it again… (Final Chorus) Go on, hate me — I don’t give a damn I’ve survived everything you planned Break me, try — yeah you’ll never see You built the monster you wanted me to be Go on, hate me — scream it loud I rise up when you push me down Say my name like it’s your disease Yeah… go on, hate me (Outro) Yeah… Go on… hate me… I’m still here.
