(Intro) (Beat immediately drops—aggressive, heavy 808s, rapid hi-hats, smooth dark bassline) Yeah. I danced too close. Let's go.
(Chorus) I danced too close to the edge of the blade Watched the rush turn to panic and watched it all fade You chiseled my heart out of stone just to break it I gave you my all but I knew you would waste it I'm cutting the cord, I'm breaking the habit I'm walking away, no I'm not gonna grab it Stay gold in the dark, I'm paving my own I'm the king of the loop, I'm not coming home.
(Verse 1) The rush hits the brain, then the breath starts to shorten I'm playing with fire, I'm the one who is torching You thought you could trap me inside of a frame But I don't follow structures, I don't play the game Sedation to panic, the nausea hits Under your covers, there's torture and pits I bet you believe that I'm better with you But I'm breaking the habit, I'm pushing right through I see the whole board, I’m ten steps ahead You wanted me broken, I'm rising instead.
(Pre-Chorus) I wasn't afraid of the fall (Nah) I just hated the stall (Yeah) More anger than laughter past your lips I'm taking the power back from your fingertips.
(Chorus) I danced too close to the edge of the blade Watched the rush turn to panic and watched it all fade You chiseled my heart out of stone just to break it I gave you my all but I knew you would waste it I'm cutting the cord, I'm breaking the habit I'm walking away, no I'm not gonna grab it Stay gold in the dark, I'm paving my own I'm the king of the loop, I'm not coming home.
(Spoken Word Breakdown) (Beat strips back to a slow, heavy bass and a single echoing piano key) You taught my heart a sense I never knew I had. But to go on... I have to break you, my habit. You can't protect someone who isn't afraid of the fire. I tasted the venom, I walked to the edge... And I didn't even flinch. My final act of love is staying away. (Beat snaps back instantly, full force)
(Verse 2) A thousand miles away, I’m still feeling the ghost But I’m slaying these dragons, I’m building my post You left me desperate, thought I would crawl But a mastermind never really waits for the call I take 100% of the blame and the heat I walked to the edge just to feel the concrete No sorrow, no sadness, just shifting the gear I'll catch you on the loop, I’m already out of here.
(Chorus) I danced too close to the edge of the blade Watched the rush turn to panic and watched it all fade You chiseled my heart out of stone just to break it I gave you my all but I knew you would waste it I'm cutting the cord, I'm breaking the habit I'm walking away, no I'm not gonna grab it Stay gold in the dark, I'm paving my own I'm the king of the loop, I'm not coming home.
(Outro) I will save myself. Stay gold. Catch you on the loop. New horizons. Yeah. I'm gone. (Fades out with a heavy, final bass drop)
