Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro]
(Lo-fi piano. Sound of a phone buzzing then digital screech. Heavy sub-bass swell.)
Yeah... 4 months of smoke and mirrors. I’m done.

[Verse 1]
(Pulsing sawtooth bass. Bit-crushed drums.)
Four months, yeah I gave you the time
Still couldn't tell me what was going on in your mind [Glitch: m-m-mind]
Took four months just to get the digits on my phone
But asking to see your house? Suddenly you in the DANGER ZONE
(Beat cut)
'No partner policy,' yeah, I shoulda blocked it
Funny how "safety" means keeping me in the dark
You a master of disguise, boy, you broke my heart.

[Pre-Chorus]
(Rising Shepard tone. Rapid snare roll.)
Transparency... Transparency... Transparency-cy-cy—
[DROP]

[Chorus]
(Massive Dubstep Drop. Heavy growls. Shimmering lead synths.)
VOCAL CHOP: YOU—WEREN'T—THE—MAN!
Caught you in the lies, it's transparency!
VOCAL CHOP: NAH—I—WON'T COME BACK!
You’re living a double life, baby, I don't...
Need to prove it, no I don’t need to prove it
All trust is gone, so I’m moving ON!

[Verse 2]
(Staccato Cyberpunk synth. Energy remains high.)
Accountability? Nah, you don't know the definition [Pitch-shift down]
Tried to turn it around, say I caused the suspicion?
Told me I was the reason you couldn't feel secure?
While I was committed, waiting outside your door.
It’s crazy how you flipped the script to make yourself the victim
Multiple lies, yeah I caught 'em, I don't miss 'em.
Look at the mirror, boy, I hope you [BASS CRASH] hate your face.

[Bridge]
(Ambient/Chill-step. Deep reverb.)
Transparency... You were never transparent.
No-p-p-p-partner policy... What a joke.
(Sub-bass sweep)
[SCREAMED]: YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN!

[Chorus 2]
(High-octane Electropop. Metallic SFX. Syncopated rhythm.)
You weren't the man you disguised to be!
Caught you in the lies, it's transparency!
You think I’ll come back? Nah, I won't.
You’re living a double life, baby, I don't...

[Outro]
(Digital disintegration. Stuttering loop.)
You weren't the man... [Loop Fade]
Nah, I won't come back.
(System Shutdown sound)
No partner policy... [Flatline]
