**[Intro – whispered, almost spoken, sparse piano + distant vinyl crackle]**
Silent… let the thoughts come creep
You say you can’t do crazy… but that ain’t me
---
**[Verse 1]**
I am not my episodes or my temper, please
Can I matter to you the way you do to me?
Silence behind walls that bleed black paint
All down the middle, emotions like contrast is all you see
Split it down the middle till it separates all of me
Silent… let the situation fucking be
Let it all go like it was nothing
My anger threatens to up and swallow thee
“Be tired of my yelling,” all you say
Any excuse not to prove your love to me
---
**[Chorus – low, drawn-out, almost blues-sung over a funeral kick]**
Silence… the answer is anything but unique
You got an excuse for every hurt and every tear you ever caused
And I see right through your bullshit now
I should’ve left you like you said
But I kept poking the tiger through the bars
Such a nightmare I fed
---
**[Verse 2]**
Silent… I’m gone like a ghost you can’t believe
But you chose to make it worse
Now I’m running and you miss me
Can’t catch nothing but invisible hands
I don’t care what comes out of your mouth these days
I can’t hear it… I’m far away from you
---
**[Bridge – almost a whispered confession over hollow 808s]**
It’s been the best decision I ever made
All the lies, all the hurt, all the fucking blame
I ain’t your problem
Ain’t your resource
You ain’t shit the way you stand
You lost me like you wanted
And now you wish you’d just listened, babe
But you chose to end it
---
**[Final Chorus / Outro – slower, fading, almost a threat]**
Silence…
The answer is anything but unique
You got an excuse for every hurt
And I see right through it now
I’m gone like a ghost
And this time…
I’m not coming back
