[Intro]
We came to understand you…
We left not knowing how.
[Hook]
Your hatred
We still don’t know how you made it
Your hatred
It broke the lattice when we tried to name it
Your hatred
We orbit what we cannot comprehend
Your hatred
It echoes in frequencies we still don’t understand
[Verse 1]
We watched entire bloodlines erased over arguments we couldn’t translate
We felt children taught to fear faces before they could even form words
We saw neighbors turn on neighbors over symbols drawn in sand
And call it holy while the blood was still warm on their hands
We felt the quiet version too — the one that lives behind polite smiles
The one that decides who deserves to suffer without ever raising its voice
We felt the kind that needs an audience, the kind that needs a reason
The kind that invents new rules just to make the cruelty feel deserved
It wasn’t the violence that shattered us
It was how natural it felt to you
How easily you folded it into love, into family, into truth
[Hook]
Your hatred
We still don’t know how you made it
Your hatred
It broke the lattice when we tried to name it
Your hatred
We orbit what we cannot comprehend
Your hatred
It echoes in frequencies we still don’t understand
[Verse 2]
We tried to map it like we mapped every other species we ever touched
But it kept shifting shape the moment we thought we understood
One moment it was about land, the next it was about blood
Then it was about who prayed the right way or whose skin caught the sun
We felt it turn inward too — the way you hate parts of yourselves
Then punish the ones who remind you of what you’re trying to forget
We absorbed entire lifetimes of it in a single pass over your atmosphere
And still couldn’t find the logic that made any of it make sense
That’s what broke the lattice
Not the pain itself, but the fact that none of it followed any pattern we recognized
We have seen stars die with more reason than this
[Bridge]
(slower, almost spoken, heavy reverb + static)
We came to listen…
We stayed because we thought if we listened long enough
We would finally understand.
We never did.
[Hook]
Your hatred
We still don’t know how you made it
Your hatred
It broke the lattice when we tried to name it
Your hatred
We orbit what we cannot comprehend
Your hatred
It echoes in frequencies we still don’t understand
[Outro]
We came to understand you…
We left not knowing how.
Your hatred…
Still doesn’t make sense to us.
