[Intro – soft, filtered voice]
Ha-ha…
The joke’s on you…
(Echo, reverb… beat swells)
---
[Verse 1]
You came with a smile, knife behind your back
Thought I wouldn’t notice — but I caught the attack
Whispers in the dark, poison on your tongue
But the sound you’re hearing now? That’s the war I’ve won
(Ha… yeah.)
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I’d shatter like glass at your feet
But you’re the one bleeding from your deceit
Now the lights are low and the room is mine
And you’re nowhere to be found tonight
(Ha-ha… nowhere tonight.)
---
[Chorus]
Jokes on you, you thought I’d lose
But I play to win, I pick and choose
You tried to haunt me, now you’re the ghost
Ha-ha — the joke’s on you the most
Jokes on you, thought I’d fall through
But I rise from ashes, that’s the truth
You tried to kill the flame, but it grew
Ha-ha — the joke’s on you
(The joke’s on you.)
---
[Verse 2]
You tried to twist the knife, watched as I bled
But I rose from silence, voice in my head
You can haunt the midnight, crawl in the mist
But this crown’s still mine, can’t ruin this
(Ha-ha.)
---
[Bridge — airy & haunting]
Closer now… closer still…
Play your cards, I already win
Closer now… closer still…
Joke’s on you, it always will
(Whispered: Ha-ha… Ha-ha-ha!)
---
[Final Chorus]
Jokes on you, you thought I’d lose
But I play to win, I pick and choose
You tried to haunt me, now you’re the ghost
Ha-ha — the joke’s on you the most
Jokes on you, thought I’d fall through
But I rise from ashes, that’s the truth
You tried to kill the flame, but it grew
Ha-ha — the joke’s on you…
(Echo out: Ha-ha… Ha-ha-ha… The joke’s on you.)
---
[Outro — soft and sinister]
Ha-ha-ha… the joke’s on you.
(Fade to silence.)
Dayzzz
