Intro (whisper-sung, sharp, airy)
(Instrumental: soft wind, reversed chimes, light tribal percussion.)
(breathy, cutting)
You smile like sugar, but your heart tastes sour,
Porcelain mask hiding your wilted power.
I walk on soil, roots digging deep,
You play in glass, your illusions cheap.
---
Verse 1 (direct, biting, rhythmic)
(Instrumental: pulsing bass, warped vocal echoes, sparse plucked strings.)
(confident, cutting)
Snow White, your apples can’t compare to the rivers I roam,
Your seven shadows bow to the trees I call home.
Curls and lace, all neat, all small,
I’ve seen your kindness crumble, I’ve seen your empire fall.
---
Pre-Chorus (rising tension, eerie but bright)
(Instrumental: harp glissandos, echoing mallets, soft storm sounds.)
(mocking, slightly melodic)
Smile so sweet, but I see the cracks,
Your crown’s too tight, it’s bound to snap.
You think you’re flawless, pure, divine,
I’m the wild wind; you’re just a line.
---
Chorus (harshly melodic, floaty but bright)
(Instrumental: swirling synths, distorted bass, sharp percussion.)
I’m roots over roses, dirt over dew,
Everything you are, I see straight through.
Your sweetness is bitter, your calm is fake,
I bend the rivers while you shiver and break.
I’m roots over roses, stronger than you,
Your fairytale cracks, I’m the storm coming through.
---
Verse 2 (fierce, rhythmic, mocking)
(Instrumental: reversed flutes, tribal drums, glassy synth stabs.)
(taunting, cutting)
Seven dwarfs can’t teach you, they’re dwarfed by my land,
Your reflection’s shallow, you can’t understand.
Your crows and mirrors, all tricks, all lies,
I speak to mountains, rivers, and endless skies.
---
Pre-Chorus (more intensity, sharper edge)
(Instrumental: heavier strings, heartbeat pulse, echoing whispers.)
(mocking laugh, strong)
Smile so sweet, but I see the cracks,
Your crown’s too tight, it’s bound to snap.
You think you’re flawless, pure, divine,
I’m the wild wind; you’re just a line.
---
Chorus (full, bold, unrelenting)
I’m roots over roses, dirt over dew,
Everything you are, I see straight through.
Your sweetness is bitter, your calm is fake,
I bend the rivers while you shiver and break.
I’m roots over roses, stronger than you,
Your fairytale cracks, I’m the storm coming through.
---
Bridge (whisper-to-belt, intense, surreal)
(Instrumental: beat drops out, soft tribal chants, wind, echoing vocals.)
(whispered then rising)
I walk where you fear,
I touch what you’ll never hold.
I’m fire in the forest,
You’re a story grown cold.
---
Final Chorus (dramatic, bright, final jab)
I’m roots over roses, dirt over dew,
Your seven shadows bow, but not to you.
Your sweetness is bitter, your calm is fake,
I bend the rivers while you crumble and break.
I’m roots over roses, stronger than you,
Remember my name when your fairytale’s through.
