Twisted Machine

(Intro)

(A faint, vinyl-crackle texture layer sits underneath. Distant, atmospheric 808 sub-bass notes softly slide into the mix).

[Female Lead]:

Midnight shadows on the bedroom wall...

[Female Guest]:

Fast cars... always leaving me wanting it all.

[Both]:

Same cold lies. Different empty rooms. Same guy... just a different perfume.

[Female Lead]:

(The guitar continues. A slow, crisp trap hi-hat roll cuts through, heavy on the delay).

He walks through the door, won't even look in my eyes.

Just breathing in the city smoke and a trail of his old lies.

He goes straight to the shower, turns the water up hot.

Trying to scrub away the secrets of a life I forgot.

Then a "ding" in the dark. Screen lights up on the nightstand.

A name I’ve never seen, reaching out for his hand.

Text says "had a great time"... "miss you already."

Now my heart is in my throat.

My hands aren't steady.

(The drums suddenly drop out. A lush, warm synthesizer pad swells, creating a weightless, floating sensation).

[Female Lead]: I'm drowning in the ambient noise...

[Female Guest]: I'm losing my mind to the sound of your voice.

[Both]: Open your eyes to the shadow... before we dissolve.

(A massive, melodic chillstep wave hits. It's incredibly musical, featuring pitch-tuned, liquid-laser bass textures and a soaring synth lead over a slow, heavy 808 heartbeat)

[Both]:

Is it you? Is it me?

Who’s the lead in this tragedy?

Are you the eighty percent? Am I just the twenty?

He’s playing us both while he’s spending our money.

How dare he divide what was meant to be whole?

One man. Two hearts. Just a ghost of a soul.

Are you the main? Or am I the side?

Either way... we’re both taking the ride.

[Female Guest]: He just clocked out, told me he's tired from the grind.

But he kept just enough energy to leave me behind.

Dinner was sweet, but the layout was fast.

A certain look in his eyes like he wanted it to last.

Then he’s checking his watch. Says he’s gotta get home. "Got to clean and relax,"

left me here all alone.

I waited for a text, but the silence was loud.

So I sent my "I miss you"... was he already under your cloud?

(The drums suddenly drop out. A lush, warm synthesizer pad swells, creating a weightless, floating sensation).

[Female Lead]: I'm drowning in the ambient noise...

[Female Guest]: I'm losing my mind to the sound of your voice.

[Both]: Open your eyes to the shadow... before we dissolve.

(Full-intensity melodic chillstep chords layered with sharp, rapid trap percussion elements)

(The heavy drums strip away completely)

[Female Lead]: I’m the one washing his scent off my skin.

[Female Guest]: I’m the one letting the mystery back in.

[Female Lead]: You got the passion... I got the routine.

[Female Guest]: But we’re both just ghosts inside his twisted machine.

[Both]:

We deserve better than a half-hearted man. Let’s set the fire. Let’s wreck his master plan.

Eighty, twenty
