Finish me

Intro (spoken)

Everybody wants access, everybody wants keys,

But nobody wants the version that actually bleeds.

Verse 1

You call me heartless — I expect that,

You don’t see the nights I can’t get rest back.

Mind racing fast while the room stays still,

Smile on my face, but I’m losing will.

I always feel like I’m supposed to be

Someone — anyone — but never just me.

So I move quiet, learn to move slow,

Guarded and distant like Sub-Zero.

Inside my chest there’s a silent war —

Half wants peace, half wants to roar.

Ice on the surface so nobody sees,

But fire still fights underneath the freeze.

Like Liu Kang rising when the odds look grim,

I keep getting back up even when I’m dim.

Some days the cold has the upper hand,

Other days the flame helps me stand.

If I feel distant, that’s the ice you see —

But the dragon’s still burning inside of me.

Hook

Daylight slips through my blinds — I feel hollow,

Moonlight paints the skyline — I feel sorrow.

Cold like Sub-Zero, calm and precise,

I don’t owe you warmth — I don’t owe you nice.

You say “let me in,” but you start to fold,

So I stay locked, keep my spirit cold.

If you can’t stand firm, better set me free —

Don’t step in the ring and scream, “Finish me.”

Verse 2

You say I’m distant — let’s talk about that,

Every time I open up, you pull back fast.

Used to burn bright like Liu Kang’s flame,

Now I keep it buried, locked in my frame.

You want my fire but fear the heat,

Want my heart but can’t stay on your feet.

So I stand steady, calm and tight —

Dragon in my soul, ice in my sight.

You stare at me salty, bitter, intense —

I breathe slow and say, “Flawless victory.” Makes sense.

Bridge (soft)

They want my fire… but not the fight.

They want my heart… but fear the night.

So I keep it locked… keep it tight —

Cold on the surface, dragon out of sight.

Final Hook

Daylight slips through my blinds — I feel hollow,

Moonlight paints the skyline — I feel sorrow.

Cold like Sub-Zero, calm and precise,

I don’t owe you warmth — I don’t owe you nice.

If you can’t stand firm, better set me free —

Don’t step in the ring and scream, “Finish me.”

Outro (spoken)

You wanted access… but not the cost.

You wanted closeness… then you got lost.

Liu Kang in my spirit, Sub-Zero in my chest —

If you can’t handle that… find someone else.
