**[Intro – Spoken/low eerie whisper over distorted guitar]**
Yeah... there I was...
Heart checked out, soul checked in...
She said it plain... but I already knew...
**[Verse 1 – Fast choppy flow, multisyllabic]**
So there I was, starin' at these two,
Seemin' to make demands, but my heart wasn't in it, truth.
She hit me with the blade: "I'm not in love anymore at all,"
Child, you're too immature, you'll do for a while, that's the call.
Too bad we wasn't in sync, clocks tickin' out of time,
I was so insecure, playin' games she designed.
She set me up for failure, rigged the board, moved the pieces,
Manipulated my mind, had me beggin' for releases.
But lucky for I, and you, and thus we—
I found my limits, my truths, my boundaries, G.
No more puppet strings, DNA control dissolved,
I broke the cycle, watch the old me dissolve.
**[Chorus – Heavy rock/nu-metal, half-sung half-screamed, big hooks]**
I shook the house! (Shook it!) I shook the house!
Heart wasn't in it, now I'm burnin' it down.
She said "not in love," immature child on the shelf,
But I know my worth, I rebuilt myself!
Shook the house! (Yeah!) Walls came crashin' through,
Games she played, set me up, but I broke loose.
From insecure to iron, boundaries locked in tight,
Lucky for us, I survived the night!
**[Verse 2 – Even choppier, horrorcore trap flow, faster pace]**
She had me second-guessin' every move in the dark,
Trippin' on her silence, feelin' like a pawn, not a mark.
"Too bad we wasn't in sync"—her words cut like a bat to the head,
Aggravated the pain, left me for dead.
But I knew my limits, drew the line in the rust,
Veins of fire pumpin', turnin' trauma to dust.
She wanted a placeholder, temporary thrill,
I wanted forever—now I'm stackin' my will.
No more games, no more setups for the fall,
I shook the foundation, watched the whole thing crawl.
From black-and-white spirals to full-color reign,
BPD battles losin', self-love in the frame.
**[Bridge – Slow build, Tool-style atmospheric, then explode]**
Lucky for I... and you... and thus we...
I found the door, key was always in me...
No more demands, no more insecure chains,
I shook the house... now nothin' remains the same...
**[Chorus – Bigger, layered vocals, ad-libs]**
I shook the house! (Shook it hard!) I shook the house!
Heart wasn't in it, now the fire's comin' out.
She said "not in love," immature for a season,
But I'm the storm now, changin' up the reason!
Shook the house! (Yeah!) Echoes in the ruins,
Games over, player won, new beginnin' bloom
