Lyrics

I stayed quiet with my teeth clenched shut
Smiled through bullshit, swallowed the gut punch
Played nice, played dead, played dumb for years
Fed on disrespect, learned to live with fear
They said relax while they crossed the line
Said it's all love while they poisoned my mind
Every joke cut deep, every word went in
I kept it inside, that's where monsters begin
You confuse control with being weak
You mistake silence for defeat
I learned patience like a loaded threat
Finger on the trigger, safety off in my head
Sleeping teddy, full of gasoline
Soft on the surface, violent underneath
You kept poking, thought I'd stay friendly
Now the room's on fire — sleeping teddy
Sleeping teddy
Sleeping teddy
I watched you laugh while I bit my tongue
Counted every time I should've swung
I took it slow, I took it all
Till the walls felt thin and my back hit the wall
Every "be patient" was another scar
Every "be normal" pulled me apart
I didn't snap, I fucking evolved
Turned all that pressure into resolve
You don't hear thunder till it's too late
You don't see hate till it detonates
I stayed human longer than I should
Now I speak fluent — understood
Sleeping teddy, full of gasoline
Soft on the surface, violent underneath
You kept poking, thought I'd stay friendly
Now the room's on fire — sleeping teddy
Sleeping teddy
Sleeping teddy
Sleeping teddy
I stayed calm
I stayed clean
I stayed quiet
You kept digging in me
Now listen close
This ain't rage
This is years
Breaking free
You call me angry, I call it truth
A spine growing back when you cut it loose
I don't explode, I correct the lie
This is what happens when the nice guy dies
No halo left, no second chance
You wanted control, you get consequence
I'm not your warning, I'm the result
You built this monster bolt by bolt
Sleeping teddy, not asleep anymore
You don't pet gently when you kick that door
You kept pushing, thought I'd stay steady
Now you're bleeding from the sleeping teddy
Sleeping teddy, fur ripped, teeth bared
All that kindness turned into warfare
Remember this when you test me
Don't poke the bear
Don't wake the teddy
I was quiet
I was kind
Now I'm done
Being fine
