[OPEN – STRIPPED, ATMOSPHERIC]
(female breathy harmonies, soft hums, heavy reverb)
mm…
ahh…
(you feel this already…)
I don’t mean to fuck it up every time…
I just don’t know how to love soft.
⸻
[SECTION 1 – FUTURE ENERGY, COLD & NONCHALANT]
I don’t do love, I do moments
I don’t say much, I just show it
You want my heart, I loan it
Soon as it ache, I ghost it
Too many nights I been numb
Too many cups, still sober
You say I’m hard to trust
But you still pullin’ me closer
I don’t explain when I move
I don’t reply when I’m gone
You say I’m playin’ it loose
But you still callin’ my phone
(female hums swell quietly under last lines)
⸻
[HOOK – TORY MELODY, ADDICTIVE]
(female breathy harmonies tucked under lead, panned L/R)
I’m a toxic king, yeah I know it (mm)
Love me once and you get addicted (ahh)
Say you done, but you still foldin’
Soon as I text, you forget your limits
I’m a toxic king, no savin’ (yeah)
Heart too cold but you crave it
You don’t love me, you just need it
Say you hate me, but you stayin’
⸻
[SECTION 2 – BRENT FAIYAZ CONFESSIONAL, INTIMATE]
(beat pulls back slightly, harmonies linger)
Truth is, I been hurt too
I just learned how to mask it
If I let you see the real me
You might leave, I can’t chance it
You want peace, I want silence
You want plans, I want tonight
I don’t do well with expectations
I do better when the lights low
I know I fuck you up emotionally
But you still say I feel like home
I don’t know how to give you safety
When I been livin’ on my own
⸻
[BRIDGE – STRIPPED, SENSUAL BUILD]
(drums drop, bass + female harmonies only)
mm… don’t go…
ahh… stay close…
(soft breath, no words)
⸻
[FINAL HOOK – FULL ENERGY, REPLAY MODE]
(harmonies louder but still blended)
I’m a toxic king, I admit it (mm)
Still you run back every minute (ahh)
Say you tired of the distance
But you addicted to the tension
I’m a toxic king, no crown
Just scars I don’t show now
If I love you, it’s flawed
But it’s real in my own way now
⸻
[OUTRO – FADE, FEMALE VOCALS ONLY]
(breathy hums, layered, drifting out)
mm…
ahh…
(toxic king…)
(beat fades clean)
