[teenage male voice]
[verse 1 – minimal dark pop / dry vocal / low piano hits]
I don’t believe in first looks
I believe in exits
Love is a noise
That ruins clean thoughts
I don’t trust warmth
It spreads too fast
Every feeling
Leaves a mark
I stay where nothing asks
Where nothing needs
Solitude doesn’t beg
It lets me breathe
[pre-chorus – pulse synth / muted bass / rising tension]
You stand too close
I feel the shift
Control is fragile
When I slip
I don’t want this
But it’s here
Something moving
Under fear
[chorus – cold wave / distorted synth / restrained beat]
Love is a distraction
I can’t afford
It makes me open
I hate that word
I don’t fall in love
I lose my ground
I don’t want echoes
I want no sound
[verse 2 – post-punk influence / sharp drums / spoken-sung vocal]
Getting attached
Is a visible flaw
You see patterns
I see traps
Caring turns people
Predictable
I’d rather be sharp
Than comfortable
I don’t need hands
Pulling me in
I don’t need mirrors
Showing my skin
[bridge – ambient break / reverb swell / heartbeat kick / multi-layered]
I didn’t plan this
Didn’t account
For the moment
I let you count
I didn't flinch
That’s the crime
I lowered my guard
For a time
[chorus – stripped version / bass only / breathy vocal]
Love is a distraction
A slow collapse
It asks for pieces
I never planned to pass
I don’t fall in love
I fall apart
I keep my silence
It’s the sharpest part
[outro – lo-fi decay / tape hiss / fading synth]
I prefer to be alone
Nothing touches
Nothing owns
If this was love
Then understand
I chose the dark
Over your hand
