Candy Viper

[BPM: 110, Key: E minor, Time Signature: 4/4]

[Intro – soft, almost spoken]
They gave me a name…
And I became it.


[Verse 1]
Candy Viper in the light
Says the words you like on time
Every move and every smile
Built to keep you for a while


[Chorus – haunting, simple]
Candy Viper, wasn’t me
Just the girl they wanted seen
Every kiss, every spark
Left a shadow on my heart
Now the glitter’s falling off
Candy Viper’s getting lost


[Verse 2]
She was perfect, she was wild
She could make you stay a while
Took the blame and took the fall
I let her become it all


[Chorus]
Candy Viper, wasn’t me
Just the girl they made me be
Every touch, every part
Was a piece of borrowed art
Now the mirror’s showing truth
Candy Viper wasn’t you


[Bridge – quiet, breaking realization]
If I take the makeup off
If I let the image drop
Will there be a soul beneath…
Or just silence left in me?


[Outro – fading, unresolved]
Candy Viper… say goodbye…
Let her fade into the light…
All that’s left… is undefined…
