**[Intro – Doobie half-asleep, blunt cracklin’ in the mic, lazy]**
Mmm… yeah…
I don’t even live here, I just rent the space…
Can’t pay enough for all these rules you made…
Can’t step up… can’t step down…
Head just floatin’, spinnin’ slow…
**[Hook – super chill, cowbell barely knockin’, guitar hummin’ soft]**
Guess there’s no use, I’m on my way down…
Only abuse if somebody around…
Watch me fall, pick up if I call…
Push me, bend me, yank me—later you gon’ thank me…
**[Verse 1 – Doobie talkin’ like he’s on the couch, voice low and raspy]**
Ain’t my fault you small, I see you…
Still want me close, that’s weird, lil bitty…
Talk crazy—I just hit ignore…
I’m too faded right now, countin’ cash on the floor…
You ain’t my problem, nah, not at all…
Handle yo self, I’m too busy gettin’ lost…
Later I’m tied up, forever unavailable…
This ain’t my fault, baby—look in the mirror, that’s the criminal…
**[Verse 2 – even slower, almost yawning, guitar starts bending weird in the background]**
Push, bend, yank—thank me when I’m gone…
I was never home, just a tenant payin’ rent in songs…
You small as hell, still beggin’ for the high…
Scary how you need me—I’m already half-dead inside…
**[Laid-back bridge – just Doobie mumbling, lighter flick]**
Don’t ask for nothin’… you broken for sure…
Don’t try to fix me… ain’t no cure…
This ain’t my fault… this ain’t my fault…
**[DROP 1 – 160 BPM Memphis rage, Doobie wakes up screamin’]**
RENT THE SPACE! BURN THE LEASE!
RULES YOU MADE? WATCH ME SMASH TO PIECES!
SPINNIN’ ROUND! LEAN IN MY CUP!
ONLY ABUSE IF SOMEBODY GIVE A FUCK!
AIN’T MY FAULT! AIN’T MY FAULT!
**[Beat cuts back to chill… for like 4 seconds… then RANDOM TOOL AMBUSH]**
(Dead silence… one clean guitar note bends like it’s possessed)
(Drums slam in 7/8, guitars spiral upward, no warning)
**[TOOL TWIST – 7/8 prog nightmare, Doobie voice suddenly clean and howling]**
This… isn’t… my… fault…
I paid in scars, I paid in pills
Rented the cage you built with guilt
Every rule you wrote in stone
I swallowed whole just to belong
Now the spiral eats the room
Now the spiral eats you too
**[FINAL DROP – 7/8 into double-kick chaos, Doobie screaming like he’s possessed]**
I DON’T LIVE HERE! JUST RENT THE SPACE!
WATCH ME BURN IT DOWN WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE!
THANK ME WHEN THE ASHES HIT THE GROUND!
AIN’T MY FAULT—YOU THE PROBLEM AND IT SHOWS NOW!
**[Outro – guitar rings out forever, Doobie whispers one last time, back to laid-back]**
…told you this ain’t my fault…
…keys on the table… I’m ghost…
Laid-back the whole way… until the song randomly decides to open a portal to hell. That’s the vibe.
