[Intro]
[Low, brooding synth bass, distant ticking clock, rain against a window]
You called it from the start.
I told you you were crazy.
(Who's crazy now?)
Yeah.
[Verse 1]
You read my chart and drew a line right down my center,
Said I was a flight risk, a cold and cruel repenter.
Charming for a minute, then a phantom in the night,
I swore you were projecting, yeah, I put up such a fight.
(I fought you)
I played the steady lover, I anchored down my feet,
Refused to be the restless ghost that wanders down the street.
You said I wore a mask, I said you're looking at the man,
But holding back the ocean never goes the way you plan.
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept waiting for the switch, waiting for the flip,
Tracing every hesitation living on my lip.
(Too close)
So I stopped the resistance, let the shadow win,
And introduced you to the twin.
[Chorus]
[Heavy trap 808s drop, rapid hi-hat trills, dark pop synth melody]
I leaned into the villain that you swore I’d always be,
Two-faced and toxic, yeah, I set the monster free.
(Let him out)
I broke your heart on purpose just to see if I could feel,
And the quiet part that kills me is how naturally it’s real.
Flighty, cold, and restless, walking out the door,
You were right about the Gemini, but I'm the one who's torn.
Was I faking being faithful, or just faking being sane?
I'm the author and the victim of the pain.
[Verse 2]
[Beat pulls back to a sparse, eerie pluck and rolling sub-bass]
Now I'm staring in the mirror, but the reflection doesn't match,
Looking at a stranger with a soul I cannot catch.
I thought I was the hero fighting off the horoscope,
But I braided up the stereotypes and hung them like a rope.
(Choking)
Charming when I want to be, gone before you wake,
Every promise that I made was just a promise I could break.
I wanted to destroy you just to prove that I was tough,
But the ease of my betrayal is what's calling out my bluff.
[Bridge]
[Atmospheric pads swell, drums completely drop out, raw vocal]
Did you see the real me before I even knew?
Was the good guy just a costume I was wearing for you?
I hated when you said it, but the truth is in the blood,
I built a house of cards and then I welcomed in the flood.
(Wash it away)
I let the dark side breathe.
[Final Chorus]
[Massive beat drop, dramatic cinematic hits over trap drums]
I leaned into the villain that you swore I’d always be,
Two-faced and toxic, yeah, I set the monster free.
(Let him out)
I broke your heart on purpose just to see if I could feel,
And the quiet part that kills me is how naturally it’s real.
Flighty, cold, and restless, walking out the door,
You were right about the Gemini, but I'm the one who's torn.
Was I faking being faithful, or just faking being sane?
I'm the author and the victim of the pain.
[Outro]
[Fading trap beat, echoing snap, pitch-shifted down vocal]
Two of me.
None of them are good for you.
(I'm gone.)
Yeah.
Watch me fly.
