Reservation

I don’t speak to fill the void, my words come with intent,

I don’t talk just to be heard—I talk ‘cause shit gets bent.

I walk in rooms clocking who avoiding my name,

Who relaxed, who rehearsed, who switched lanes.

I don’t interrupt lies—I let ‘em complete,

They expose themselves if you stay in your seat.

My brain loops patterns, don’t think in lines,

Say one word—ten memories queue behind.

Tryna make Benjamins, grabbed the wrong Benjamin,

Lost the damn button—fate stitched me negligent.

Corduroy heart, half-truth seams,

You kept pulling threads just to hear ‘em scream.

HOOK

You told me that I was crazy,

I let you believe it too.

Now you act like you better—

center stage, just you and delusion.

Goodbye, bye

(cue the gaslight)

Goodbye.

VERSE 2

I wake early, get home late, lose sleep so you breathe,

Can’t nap—I’m driving, can’t stay—I leave.

I bend my life so yours don’t crack,

Gas in the car, snacks packed, got your back.

I defend your name when your people throw you,

But that don’t count once I’m outta view.

Funny how loyalty fades with sound,

Only matters when I’m around.

HOOK

You told me that I was crazy… (repeat)

VERSE 3

Reservation under my name—I thought you’d pause,

Check if I was awake… alive… before driving off.

Picked up the menu, sat by my mom,

“Amen,” then ate like nothing was wrong.

Happy birthday to the girl everyone forgot,

Candles burned down while I laid there shocked.

Everyone had my location that night—

Not one of you hesitated. Not one tried.

BRIDGE (SPOKEN)

Bow your heads. Say grace.

Thank God for the food.

For the birthday girl

who never got to eat.

FINAL VERSE

You call me crazy—cool, keep that lie,

I’m not lost in the maze, I designed the lines.

You stayed on the bridge under construction,

I stepped off and read the caution.

I didn’t disappear—I withdrew.

You didn’t lose me—you chose you.

FINAL HOOK

You told me that I was crazy,

I let you believe it too.

Now you act like you better—

center stage, just you and delusion.

Goodbye, bye.

(cue the gaslight)

Goodbye.
