Cutthroat - Depry January

*[Intro – Whispered Vocal / Dissonant Guitar]* Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, You showed your face when the world turned colder. A smile like heaven, a heart like a blade— I finally see every move that you played. *[Verse 1 – Melodic Clean Vocal]* You spoke in promises, delivered in lies, Built your empire while I paid the price. You shook my hand with a knife in your sleeve, Taught me the hardest truth to believe. Every confession was another disguise, Every excuse just another alibi. I gave you trust, you gave me scars, Left me to bleed beneath your stars. Now every memory tastes like rust, Every word is a breach of trust. You thought I'd break and disappear, But look who's standing right here. *[Pre-Chorus – Rising Clean Vocal / Harsh Screams]* I HEARD THE WHISPERS! I SAW THE SIGNS! YOU CROSSED THE LINE FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME! NO MORE MERCY! NO MORE PRETENSE! I'M DONE DEFENDING YOUR INNOCENCE! *[Chorus – Powerful Melodic Clean Vocal]* Cutthroat! You carved your name into my scars, Left me shattered underneath the stars. You took my faith and watched it drown, Now hear the sound of your kingdom coming down. Cutthroat! I see the monster that you hide, No more shadows, nowhere left to run and hide. You made me hate the man I used to be— NOW I'M CUTTING EVERY CHAIN YOU PUT ON ME! *[Verse 2 – Rap Metal / Aggressive Rhythmic Flow]* Yeah! Backstab, double-talk, all that fake concern, You played with fire, now it's your turn to learn. Talk so sweet, but your actions stay foul, A wolf in a suit with a snake's damn smile. You fed me fiction, called it the truth, Took my loyalty and twisted the proof. Every little secret, every cheap attack, I kept my mouth shut, now I'm taking it back. You want respect but you deal in deceit, You shake my hand while you aim for defeat. I'm done being bait for your pathetic games, Done carrying guilt for your borrowed shame. No crown, no throne, no power to claim, You're just another coward hiding behind a name. I won't be the victim you remember me as— I'm breaking the cycle and burying the past! *[Pre-Chorus – Clean Vocal into Scream]* I HEARD THE WHISPERS! I SAW THE SIGNS! YOU CROSSED THE LINE FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME! NO MORE MERCY! NO MORE PRETENSE! I'M DONE DEFENDING YOUR INNOCENCE! *[Chorus – Full Band / Layered Vocals]* Cutthroat! You carved your name into my scars, Left me shattered underneath the stars. You took my faith and watched it drown, Now hear the sound of your kingdom coming down. Cutthroat! I see the monster that you hide, No more shadows, nowhere left to run and hide. You made me hate the man I used to be— NOW I'M CUTTING EVERY CHAIN YOU PUT ON ME! *[Bridge – Emotional Clean Vocal / Atmospheric Guitar]* I spent so long searching for a reason, Trying to forgive you every season. But forgiveness doesn't mean I let you stay, And healing doesn't mean I have to let you back. I'll leave your poison where it belongs, I'll find my voice inside these songs. You don't get to define my worth— I'll build my future from the dirt. *[Breakdown – Downtuned Guitar / Low Screams]* YOU WANTED MY TRUST! YOU BURIED IT! YOU WANTED MY SILENCE! YOU'RE HEARING IT! CUT! THE! TIES! LET YOUR EMPIRE DIE! NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE SHAME! YOU'LL NEVER OWN ME AGAIN! *[Final Chorus – Soaring Clean Vocal / Backing Screams]* Cutthroat! You carved your name into my scars, But I found my way beyond the dark. You took my faith, but not my sound, I'm still alive and I won't stay down. Cutthroat! Your shadow fades into the night, I don't need revenge to reclaim my life. You made me hate the man I used to be— NOW I'M FINALLY BECOMING SOMEONE FREE! *[Outro – Clean Vocal / Fading Guitar]* A smile like heaven, a heart like a blade, I'll never forget the price that I paid. You cut me deep... But you couldn't take me away. Cutthroat. I'm still here.
