The Bruise They Never Knew — Dark Emotional Metalcore (Let Me Show You Fear)

The Bruise They Never Knew — Dark Emotional Metalcore (Let Me Show You Fear)

“The Bruise They Never Knew” is a dark emotional metalcore track mixing gothic atmosphere, cinematic tension, and explosive metalcore aggression. This song deals with isolation, pressure, hidden pain, and the shadow we carry inside when no one sees the damage they’ve left.

Melodic cleans, violent screams, pounding breakdowns, haunting whispers, and a theatrical horror tone shape the entire song.

LYRICS:

They don't know who I talk to after the bell rings.

I count the seconds by the concrete seams,
Inside these grey halls where the hunting starts.
They wear their smiles like perfectly sewn dreams,
While tearing all the lining from my heart.
They chase me down the length of every corridor—
A routine I can map out on the floor.
I am the footnote, the forgotten casualty,
A bruise they never knew they left on me.

I clench my fists until my knuckles turn to white,
I swear I heard my own reflection scream:
I CAN'T TAKE ONE MORE DAY!
I CAN'T TAKE ONE MORE FIGHT!

COME ON, MY SHADOW, TAKE THE WHEEL!
I'M DONE PRETENDING I CAN FIGHT IT ON MY OWN!
I'M GIVING YOU THE KEYS, THE PAIN IS REAL!
I NEED TO FEEL THE VENOM IN MY BONES!
CONSUME THE FEAR! CONSUME IT!
Let me show them what it means to be afraid.

I see you standing in the periphery,
My silent friend who waits for me to break.
The only thing that ever understood me—
The only one who knows the final weight.
Just one possession, and I know I'm free,
To make them pay the price they owe.
This fragile body is your vacancy—
Tell me exactly where you want to go.

THEY. WANT. BLOOD.
YOU. GET. THE. RAGE.
IT'S YOUR TURN NOW!

I watched the sunlight die behind my eyes,
And saw the monster you were meant to be.
Now that the mask is shattered and silence fills me—
They won't recognize the things they came to see.

COME ON, MY SHADOW, TAKE THE WHEEL!
I'M DONE PRETENDING I CAN FIGHT IT ON MY OWN!
I'M GIVING YOU THE KEYS, THE PAIN IS REAL!
I NEED TO FEEL THE VENOM IN MY BONES!
CONSUME THE FEAR! CONSUME IT ALL!
Now I'll show them what it means to be afraid.

We are free now.
It was their mistake.
