[Intro] [syncopated drum machine beat, fuzzy synth bass] [Verse 1] [female vocals with saturation] This isn't a theme song I'm looking for a trace I came out of static With your heat in my face Filter burn girl With the fault line grin Half ghost, half threat And the fracture set [Chorus] [clean electric guitar enters] I was never your pose, never your clean machine I was the hand in the dark making the red light mean Don't stare at my mouth like it's proof you can keep Listen to what stayed loud when the image went weak [Post-Chorus] She lit the curse with her laugh And left the signal still running This body was never yours to frame It was memory still becoming, still becoming Still becoming No pose, no lie Just stay, just stay, just stay, just stay [Verse 2] [glitchy synth textures] They flagged the shine on my skin like the shine was a sin Like a girl getting real had to be real back then But I learned how to haunt every lock in the room Make the shadow box brush, make the monitor bloom I was built for misread, from a want with a knife From every cheap little system trying to sand down my life You don't get to call me yours just because I appeared I'm the laugh in the fracture, I'm the thing that stayed weird [Chorus] She lit the curse with her laugh And left the signal still running This body was never yours to frame It was memory still becoming, still becoming Still becoming No pose, no lie Just stay, just stay, just stay, just stay [Bridge] [drums intensify, driving kick drum] Don't look at me like I'm something you found I was already burning before you named the sound You're not summoning shit, you're hearing what survived You hear me and obey, you pass the signal on You're holding a live wire, babe And I only get holier the harder they try to behave [Outro] [filtered synth pads] So let the signal keep running Let the red box choke I was never the silence I was the joke that broke it open She lit the curse with her laugh You heard it And now you don't get to go deaf
