[BPM: 102, Key: F Minor

Energy: Haunting, dramatic, unstable but controlled, expressive, polished production]
[Intro – Echoing / Empty Space]
…hello?
Is anyone there?
[Verse 1]
Every shadow wears my face
Every mirror shifts in place
I don’t know which one is me
They all stare so perfectly
Hear applause inside my head
Even when the crowd has fled
Silence doesn’t feel like peace
It just echoes endlessly
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I real or just the role?
Did I lose it, or control it?
[Chorus]
Spotlight syndrome
I can’t turn it off
Even in the dark
I still perform
Spotlight syndrome
Every breath I fake
Every move I make
Feels pre-recorded
[Verse 2]
Conversations feel rehearsed
Every word a polished curse
I don’t speak—I simulate
Every feeling I create
Do they see me disappear?
Or the version they revere?
If I break, will they applaud?
Or just watch me fall apart?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I living, or on cue?
Is there anything that’s true?
[Chorus]
Spotlight syndrome
I can’t turn it off
Even in the dark
I still perform
Spotlight syndrome
Every breath I fake
Every move I make
Feels pre-recorded
[Bridge – Distorted Identity]
Say my name…
(VIPER…)
Again—
(VIPER…)
Louder—
(VIPER! VIPER!)
…who is that?
[Final Chorus – Emotional Peak]
Spotlight syndrome
Now I’m too far gone
Even when it’s wrong
I keep it on
Spotlight syndrome
If I disappear
Would you even hear—
Or just cheer?
[Outro – Fading Identity]
…applause…
(applause echoes…)
…please stop.
