Title: “Confuse Me Beautifully” Verse 1 You came in sweet with a venom tongue, Silver teeth and a loaded lung, Breath like a prayer, touch like a gun, I should’ve ran, but I called you home. Black silk lies in the chandelier light, You kissed my wounds just to twist the knife, Said I was yours, said it felt so right, Then turned my day to a haunted night. You break me down in a velvet tone, Make me feel crazy in my own bones, Say that you love me, then leave me cold, Bury the truth where it won’t be known. You got that look like a holy sin, Pull me close just to cave me in, Smile so clean while the rot begins, God, how you win with the state I’m in. Pre-Chorus You say, “It’s all in your head” While you sharpen the words that you said I bleed, then you crawl in my bed Now I don’t know what is love, what is dread Chorus You confuse me beautifully, brutally, Ruin me dutifully, usually, Call it devotion, it’s mutiny, You put a chain on my soul so elegantly. You confuse me beautifully, chemically, Twist every memory mentally, I hear your voice in the static speaking me weak, Like a demon singing sweet through the beat. Drop Hook / Robotic Voice Layer Love me. Break me. Use me. Save me. Touch me. Erase me. Tell me I’m crazy. Love me. Break me. Use me. Save me. Pull me down slowly. Control me. Own me. Verse 2 You keep the room like a ritual scene, Low red lights and a sick machine, Every excuse got a laser beam, Cut through my thoughts till I split at the seams. You make me doubt what I heard, what I saw, You write the crime, then rewrite the law, I say “enough,” but I still get caught, You wear my grief like designer cloth. I was awake but you drugged the truth, Fed me blame in designer boots, Made me kneel to your point of view, Then called me weak for needing proof. Your love’s a loop and a prison hymn, 808 heart with the lights turned dim, I see your shadow beneath my skin, Even your silence knows how to spin. Pre-Chorus You say, “You’re losing your mind” Like you didn’t design every wire I burn, but I’m begging for fire That’s the hell of a beautiful liar Chorus You confuse me beautifully, brutally, Ruin me dutifully, usually, Call it devotion, it’s mutiny, You put a chain on my soul so elegantly. You confuse me beautifully, chemically, Twist every memory mentally, I hear your voice in the static speaking me weak, Like a demon singing sweet through the beat. Bridge Background voices in the walls go, “Stay… stay… stay…” But the blood in my chest says, “Run… run… run…” You made a cathedral out of my fear, Built your throne and you kept me near, Every “I love you” disappeared Soon as I needed something sincere. Now your name sounds sick in my mouth, Like broken glass and a power outage, You fed on my trust, my faith, my doubt, But the spell gets weaker the louder I shout— Breakdown I remember. I remember. I remember what you did. Not crazy. Not broken. Just wounded where you lived. You mirrored heaven. You dealt me hell. You made a cage and called it “felt.” You played the victim. I wore the guilt. Now watch me burn down what you built. Final Chorus You confuse me beautifully, brutally, Ruin me dutifully, usually, Called it devotion, it was mutiny, You put a chain on my soul so elegantly. You confused me beautifully, chemically, Twisted every memory mentally, Now your voice in the static don’t weaken me— It’s just a ghost in the bass underneath me. Outro Love me. Break me. No — you don’t get to take me. Use me. Save me. No — you will never remake me. Cold eyes. Dark grin. Let the megabass cave in. You were poison dressed like skin. Now the night lets me begin.
