ON A SHORT LEASH

TITLE: “ON A SHORT LEASH”

[Intro — low, ominous]
Footsteps slow.
Breath restrained.
Something waits
At the end of the chain.

[Verse 1 — cold narration]
I walk where lamps refuse to glow,
Steel calm carved into my face.
Beside me drags a breathing shadow,
Learning hunger, learning pace.
It doesn’t bark, it doesn’t beg,
It reads the tension in my hand.
Every twitch, every silence—
It knows exactly when to stand.

[Pre-Chorus — tightening]
I don’t speak loud.
I don’t explain.
One small pull—
It understands the pain.

🔥 [Chorus — ATONAL SHOUT / NO MELODY] 🔥
STAY!
WAIT!
BREATHE—DON’T BITE!
HEEL!
NOW!
READY—TONIGHT!
NO MERCY!
ON COMMAND!
I POINT—
IT TEARS THE LAND!

[Verse 2 — more disturbing]
Its eyes stay low, its muscles sing,
A hymn of teeth beneath the skin.
I taught it patience, taught it joy
In holding back what’s breaking in.
They see one shape move through the dark,
They never count us as a pair.
But when I stop, when I release—
Two nightmares are already there.

[Pre-Chorus]
No guilt learned.
No leash seen.
Just instinct sharpened
By my routine.

🔥 [Chorus — SHOUTED / LOOP-FRIENDLY] 🔥
STAY!
WAIT!
BREATHE—DON’T BITE!
HEEL!
NOW!
READY—TONIGHT!
NO MERCY!
ON COMMAND!
I POINT—
IT TEARS THE LAND!

[Bridge — spoken, quiet, terrifying]
I don’t need rage.
I don’t need hate.
I just decide…
And it obeys.

🔥 [Final Chorus — MAXIMUM INTENSITY] 🔥
STAY!
WAIT!
NOW—UNLEASH!
GO!
TEAR!
BLOOD ON MY LEASH!
NO CHOICE!
NO NAME!
I WALK—
IT ENDS THE SAME!

[Outro — slow fade]
One shadow walks.
One shadow crawls.
Only one of us
Ever needs to call.
🔥 Best experienced with headphones in a dim room.
🌑 Let the shadows tell the story.
