Demon Eater
I was raised on cracked pavement and the echo of a slamming door,
streetlight baptism, learned real fast what pain was for.
They fed us fear like doctrine, said behave, obey, repeat,
I learned how to bare my teeth before they even learned to speak.
I’ve got smoke in my lungs and a spine of stone,
every scar is a lesson that I paid for in bone.
They sold chains as protection, sold silence as peace,
I didn’t crawl out of hell just to beg for a place.
I don’t pray, I don’t kneel, I don’t wait to be saved,
I carve truth into stone with the fury I’ve made.
If you hear something breathing when the lights finally die,
that’s your gods learning fear for the first fucking time.
Chorus
Demon eater, I bite back when the void speaks
Demon eater, I feast on every lie you preach
Demon eater, your nightmares avoid my place
Demon eater, I survived what you couldn’t face
They built empires on graves and called it progress with pride,
dressed murder in language, let the innocent die.
Every skull they admired had blood in the seams,
I watched angels rot while monsters sold tickets.
I don’t want your forgiveness, keep your hands off my throat,
I’ve seen what you worship, I’ve read every note.
I learned how to breathe under pressure and flame,
every time you tried to break me, I remembered
I fucking remember
I’ve been buried in truth that was poisoned and bent,
still I clawed my way up with violent intent.
If you think I’m afraid of the dark that you feed,
you forgot who taught shadows exactly how to bleed.
Chorus
Demon eater, I bite back when the void speaks
Demon eater, I feast on every lie you preach
Demon eater, your nightmares avoid my place
Demon eater, I survived what you couldn’t face
I swallowed the hate, let it burn, grow, and evolve,
turned it into a loaded thing, sharp, venom with resolve.
I’ve stared down extinction and laughed at its stare,
I don’t fear what’s beneath me — it fears that I’m here.
Call me cursed, call me lost, call me wrong, call me damned,
I was forged in the fallout, not the comfort you planned.
Every demon you hid behind scripture and law
ends up choking on silence when I open my jaw.
You made me this, you fed the flame, you dug the pit,
I rose unchanged — no saviors, no leash, no throne to claim.
Just hunger and teeth and a world in flames,
I don’t need your heaven, I learned how to win without your light.
If the devil’s listening, tell him I’m getting closer,
you made a monster — I’m the creature of your dreams.
Call me cursed, call me lost, call me wrong, call me damned,
I was forged in the fallout, not the comfort you planned.
Chorus
Demon eater, I bite back when the void speaks
Demon eater, I feast on every lie you preach
Demon eater, no chains, no mercy, no peace
Demon eater, I don’t burn in hell — I feast
