Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (slow heartbeat, wet chewing, carnival music detuned) There was a first… Before the whispers had a name… Before the roots had a king… He was just like you… [Dark Twisted Voice] I am Mr. Mint I’ll give you a hint I am the maker of your licorice motion Think of it as a sweet promotion You will be my second in command Sewing licorice throughout my land Arise Lord Licorice from your doom And help me fill this candy tomb [Hook] First bite, yeah I felt it sink in slow, Sweet turned bitter as it spread below. Didn’t die, I twisted instead, Now the black runs thicker than the red. They get eaten — I became the land, Every scream now curls inside my hand. You walk in thinking you’ll survive… I’m the proof something worse can stay alive. [Verse 1] Came for the lights, heard the laughter outside, Step past the gate, left the real world behind. Same as the rest, yeah I followed the trail, Cotton candy sky, but the colors felt pale. Met the same faces, the smiles all wrong, Heard that Princess humming that looped-up song. Mr. Mint tipped his hat just once, Should’ve turned back then — that was my chance. Took one bite, yeah I remember it clear, Felt it crawl when it reached my ear. Not just pain, it was something else— Like the land tried filing me on a shelf. But I fought… yeah I fought it back, Every vein turned sharp, every thought went black. While the others melted, lost in the glaze… Something in me started to reshape. [Hook] First bite, yeah I felt it sink in slow, Sweet turned bitter as it spread below. Didn’t die, I twisted instead, Now the black runs thicker than the red. They get eaten — I became the land, Every scream now curls inside my hand. You walk in thinking you’ll survive… I’m the proof something worse can stay alive. [Verse 2] Body locked up but my mind stayed mean, Didn’t dissolve like the sugar-fiends. The sweetness cracked when it hit my core, Turned into something it ain’t seen before. Licorice grew where the syrup should be, Dark strands forming outta what was me. Every snap hurt but it made me strong, Every scream I took got dragged along. The land tried folding me into the rest, But I spread too deep in its candy chest. Wrapped through the roots, dug under the floor, Now I feel every step at the door. I ain’t trapped — nah, I took control, Twisted the system, infected the whole. Now the sweet got fear in its design, Every bright color hides my vine. Call me cursed, call me what you like— But I was the first… that survived the bite. [Bridge] (low, layered — past self vs monster) “I wanna go home…” —you are the home— “I don’t want this…” —you were chosen— “No… I fought it…” —and now you own it— [Final Hook] First bite, now it echoes through time, Every victim walking the same thin line. Most get eaten… some get erased… But I became the aftertaste. Feel that pull when the sweetness calls? That’s me stretching through the walls. You won’t see me till it’s too late… (Evil laugh)
