[Verse 1]
You came to the altar with your hands still clean
Whispered to the dark, “Give me anything”
You didn’t read the sigils in the candle smoke
Didn’t see your name buried in the oath I wrote You said, “I want power, I’m so tired of small”
So I carved you a spine made of meteors and fault lines in the wall
You thought you’d just borrow a little of my night
Didn’t know I’d stitch your heartbeat to my rights …..
[Pre]
Every wish you made, I turned it into teeth
Every line you signed just tangled you to me
[Hook]
You wanted power, now you’re written in my skin
Every clause you skipped drags you deeper in
You’re not my victim, you’re my chosen sin
Bound in the fine print, sealed in crimson ink again
You wanted thrones, now you’re chained to my throne room
You wanted storms, now you answer when I move
You begged the dark to make you more than human
Now you’re my weapon, my witness, my ruin ….
[Verse 2]
You keep asking where your old life went
Buried in a footnote at the bottom of the contract you bent
Your reflection flickers when you say my name
You’re half your mother’s eyes, half my boiling vein When kings call your door, they don’t see my crest
But I’m the shadow signing every yes and every threat you press
You swear you hear my voice inside your chest
That’s just the tether tightening when you second-guess
[Pre]
Every “no” you breathe still runs through me first
I rewrote your soul in my native curse
[Hook]
You wanted power, now you’re written in my skin
Every clause you skipped drags you deeper in
You’re not my victim, you’re my chosen sin
Bound in the fine print, sealed in crimson ink again
You wanted thrones, now you’re chained to my throne room
You wanted storms, now you answer when I move
You begged the dark to make you more than human
Now you’re my weapon, my witness, my ruin……
[Bridge]
There’s a loophole buried under all this fire
You keep asking where—baby, I’m the only one who can expire it
You could break the bond by breaking me in two
But I built you on my bones, so I would die inside of you You think freedom’s just a better-phrased plea
You still pray to vacant heavens while you’re standing next to me
I am not your jailer, I’m the wish you fed
You asked to be unstoppable… now I sleep inside your head……
[Drop / post]
Say you hate me while you’re wielding my name
Every life you take just pays me back in flame…..
[Final one-liner]
You wanted power for a lifetime… I wrote “until the demon dies,” and I don’t plan to die until you do……………..
