Sentimental Surgery

Hurts Like Hell

Produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore), 'Off With Your Head' is a crushing, politically-charged rap-metal rave monster powered by venomous lyrics that rage against various types of mob-fuelled injustice, from the conservative war on women's bodies to the dark side of cancel culture.

Singer Emmy Mack explains the inspiration behind the track:

"I wrote the lyrics to 'Off With Your Head' at a time when I was feeling overwhelmed, appalled, and devastated by a number of horrifying injustices going on in the world around me. Over in the US, the overturning of Roe v. Wade robbed women and girls of the fundamental right to make informed decisions about their own bodies, the consequences of which I, along with many others, knew would be deadly and devastating. While in my own backyard, I watched on in horror as cancel culture was weaponised by a sick person with a cruel vendetta to destroy an innocent woman I loved and admired. I felt sick with anger, and powerless to do anything about it, so I poured everything I had into this song."

'Off With Your Head' will feature on RedHook's debut album 'Postcard From A Living Hell', which is slated for release on Friday, April 21. You can Pre-Order 'Postcard From A Living Hell' here - https://lnk.weareredhook.com/album

Off With Your Head

Half Black Heart

Conceptualised as a sequel to RedHook’s 2020 single ‘Cure 4 Psycho’ (3 million streams on Spotify), ‘Scream 2’ is the next chapter in a painfully relatable horror story for anyone who has survived narcissistic abuse. It’s a chaotically heavy, pit-ready rager about refusing to let yourself be drawn in by more vindictive mind games, even when the narcissist starts weaponising your own trauma against you.

Text:
[Verse 1 – Rap]
Scratch in my throat but I still stand tall,
Clock says work — I answer the call.
Cough in the dark, yeah, pain in my lungs,
But the fire inside keeps beating the drums.

They say “stay home, take care, be still,”
But I’m built on motion, forged by will.
No fever, no flame’s gonna take my ground,
I’m the noise when the world wants sound.

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t break — I’m just wired that way,
Every scar is a reason to stay.

[Chorus – Shouted/Sung]
No fever — I’m still alive!
You can’t kill the fire inside!
I’m torn, I’m tired, but I survive,
No fever — I’m still alive!

(Guitar-solo)

[Verse 2 – Rap]
My voice cracks like static in a storm,
This body’s wrecked but the soul’s still warm.
Sweat drips down like a battle cry,
I’m half awake, but I’ll never die.

You can call it pride, you can call it insane,
But I walk through the ache, through the strain.
I’m not sick, I’m alive, that’s enough for me —
Turn the pain into energy.

[Bridge – Spoken/Screamed]
Don’t tell me to rest — I’ve got work to do!
The weak stay home, the strong push through!

(Guitar-solo)

[Final Chorus – Full Power]
No fever — I’m still alive!
My voice breaks but I’ll never hide!
The grind, the fight, the reason why —
No fever — I’m still alive!

[Outro – Whispered + Distant Screams]
Scratch in my throat…
Still screaming hope.
Still alive… still alive.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
They say he rides again…

Lanterns shake like guilty eyes,
Every lie rides tonight.
⸻

[Verse 1 ]
I rode out
chasing reason’s light,
Through fields that whispered
“don’t look right.”
A schoolhouse mind, a skeptic tongue,
Where gospel ghosts still kept me young.
The bridge ahead,
the woods behind,
Each branch a question in my mind.
I mocked their myths
with teacher’s pride—
But laughter dies when logic rides.
⸻

Faith can’t save the man who thinks—
Belief bites harder than it blinks.

[Chorus]
Head count,
how many fears tonight?
One horse, 
no face,
no light.
You can outrun truth till your lantern dies,
But the headless ride never lies.
Count your doubts,
they’re all you own—
Every myth demands its throne.
Head count,
one more ghost to prove,
Lose your mind
to the move.
⸻

[Verse 2]
The bridge was there,
then gone in smoke,
The sky split open,
something spoke.
Faithless man,
you fed their lore,
Now ride, professor... 
think no more.
Pumpkin grin and saber flash,
Hooves like thunder, teeth like ash.
I prayed to math, I prayed to chance—
Both refused the dance.
⸻

[Bridge]
Head down,
don’t look back,
The horseman rides the scholar’s track.
Truth is fear
you can’t subtract—
Head down, don’t look back.

Logic bled, belief attacked—
He took my mind and gave it back.
⸻

[Final Chorus]
Head count,
no one left to find,
They say I lost more than my mind.
Now every story keeps me fed,
A candle where my head once bled.
Count your fears before they speak—
The rational die this superstitious week.
Head count,
my lesson’s taught,
The truth was just what fear had bought.
