### **Song Title: "Rotten Face"**

**[Intro]** (whispered, distorted, heavy reverb)

Tastes like bile... words bubble up like puke...

Back of my throat burns... fuck...

**[Verse 1]** (low, venomous flow)

Tastes like bile, words bubble up like puke

Back of my throat burns standing here in front of you

I don't know if I like you today or the shit you do

You've gone rotten, the bad blocks my view

You don't know me, don't argue, I don't want you to

I'm leaving, this is bullshit, fuck you too

**[Pre-Chorus]** (building tension, darker synths)

I really don't know what goes so wrong in my head

Swift thought and the chaos lurking turns to dread

Words coming out of me hurt like hell

But I won't remember tomorrow, it suits me well

**[Chorus]** (main hook – massive slow 808 slides, haunting vocal layers)

Who are you? I say show your face

But the darkness dragging me into its place

Fills the room with all these forgotten things

Tapes me to a chair so I can't flee

I see your back walk away, you can't take my shit

But it's not me, it only wears my face

I love you, don't leave me, tears threaten to fall

You think it's a game, I'm so ashamed of no control at all

**[Verse 2]** (more unhinged, ad-libs)

Who the fuck are you really? Hiding behind my skin

This thing inside keeps wearing my face and committing the sin

I scream I love you but the poison leaks right through

One minute I'm yours, next I'm gone, what the fuck is true?

Rotten to the core, bile in my veins

Can't escape the chair, trapped inside the chains

**[Chorus]** (repeat, bigger, more layered vocals)

Who are you? I say show your face

But the darkness dragging me into its place...

I love you, don't leave me... I'm so ashamed of no control at all

**[Bridge]** (stripped back, almost spoken word over minimal heartbeat kick)

It only wears my face...

It only wears my face...

Fuck...

**[Outro]** (fading into reverb and distant screams)

Tastes like bile... fuck you too...

I'm leaving... don't leave me...

It suits me well...
