The Hate We Buried - Alternative Rock & Piano Composition

Описание: [Verse 1 – Slow Burn]
We thought we burned it out
Watched the ashes cool
Said the fire was history
Said the scars were through

We swept it underground
Called it moving on
But you don’t kill a hunger
By pretending it’s gone

[Pre-Chorus – Tight]
We fed it silence
Called it peace
Maybe we all
Pretended to be sheep

[Chorus]
There’s hate inside the apple
Rotting at the core
We loved the shine, ignored the bruise
Till we couldn’t anymore
We said we left it far behind us
Said we learned, said we grew
But hate we buried
Waited patiently for you

[Verse 2 – Spoken / Fast ]
They waved their flags
Said this is progress now
Said don’t ask questions
Said don’t slow it down

This is the city that bled on a clear blue day
Smoke in the sky
Names carved into place

Now every Friday loudspeakers cut the air
We’re told not to notice
Told not to compare

Hate didn’t disappear
It changed its face
The numbers are real
You can track it state by state

We said “never again”
Then looked away
Called it tolerance
While the pressure stayed

Now the city we loved
Is the city we fear
Safety was an illusion for some
Now it’s gone for everyone here

The apple we trusted
Is the place we don’t go
Some chose silence
Some voted
Now we reap what we sow

[Pre-Chorus 2 – Short, Sharp]
You don’t starve a monster
By letting it hide
You just teach it
How to survive

[Chorus]
There’s hate inside the apple
Rotting at the core
We loved the shine, ignored the smell
Till it split the floor
We said we left it far behind us
Said the past was through
But hate we buried
Learned to look like truth

[Bridge – Spoken / Low]
We didn’t fight it
We negotiated
We didn’t face it
We domesticated

Now it’s wearing our voices
Now it’s saying our names
Now it’s asking forgiveness
While it sharpens its ways

[Final Chorus – Bigger]
There’s hate inside the apple
And we helped it grow
Watered it with silence
Fed it what we didn’t want to know
We said we left it far behind us
Said we’d finally choose
But hate we buried
Is the one that’s choosing you

[Outro – Cut Cold]
We didn’t burn it out
We just looked away
