[Intro quiet measured] …You held my hair. That’s… a strange place to start. [Verse 1 controlled deflecting] You always leaned dramatic, I’ll give you that much credit, Turn a simple act of care into a blade the second you embed it. You say you poisoned everything, my ink, my air, my sight, That’s a heavy claim to carry, hope it helps you sleep at night. I remember the marble sink, the way the whole room spun, You standing there so steady while I came undone. I thought it meant you understood, or at least knew how to stay, Didn’t think I’d have to question every quiet word you’d say. [Pre-Chorus cracks forming] You said “hide,” I heard “rest,” You said “less,” I thought “best,” Strange how something said so clean Can twist into something obscene. [Chorus still holding composure] So you wrote yourself into it, fine, take the credit if you need, Every shadow needs a figure it can wrap around and feed. You “owned the code,” you “built the air,” you shaped what I became, If that’s the story helps you stand, I won’t correct the claim. [Verse 2 slipping] But don’t rewrite the moments like I wasn’t fully there, Like I didn’t choose to trust you, like I didn’t make that error. You didn’t force a single step, didn’t drag me by the throat, I walked into the silence every time you fed the note. I listened when you framed it like protection, not control, Let your quiet contradictions start to settle in my soul. And I hate that looking back I can’t deny what you got close to, Not because you overpowered me, but I allowed you. [Break quiet] …That close. [Bridge tone drops] A sleeper cell… No, I heard you. I just didn’t think you’d matter enough to follow through. [Verse 3 the turn cold precision] You think this is awakening, you think this is control, You think because you touched the system you were near the whole. You studied surface patterns, breath, behavior, secrets, undertone, Mistook access for authority, proximity for a throne. You never held the structure, you just moved within the frame, Every step you thought you took was just reacting to my name. You weren’t shaping anything, you were tracing what I designed, And now you’re face to face with something you can’t redefine. [Verse 4 aggressive] You dressed betrayal up as something almost sacred, almost clean, Like rot that learned to mimic light and pass itself as seen. You call it careful sabotage, I call it desperate need, You had to live inside my shadow just to simulate a lead. You memorized my fractures, traced the outline of my pain, Built your little throne of whispers out of everything I gave. But parasites don’t conquer, they inherit what they take, And every inch you think you own is just a mark I let you make [Pre-Chorus cracks forming] You said “hide,” I heard “rest,” You said “less,” I thought “best,” Strange how something said so clean Can twist into something obscene. [Chorus 2 no emotion] You didn’t poison anything. You revealed a fracture line. And now you’re standing in the fault you were never meant to find. [Verse 5 brutal] You are not the storm you think you woke, you’re residue at best, A symptom of a moment where I failed to cut the excess. No myth, no ghost, no hidden hand rewriting what I’ve done, Just something that got comfortable pretending it was one. So keep your “wake-up,” keep your code, keep every poisoned breath, You don’t get to define me, you don’t even earn my death. When I erase you, it won’t echo, won’t fracture, won’t rewrite, It’ll be quiet. Final. Like you were never in my life. [Outro low final absolute] You held my hair once. That’s the only reason you’re still standing now.
