Red Sharpie - Emily Thorne

[Intro] (Music starts with a dark drone sound, no beat yet) [Verse 1] (Beat kicks in, steady and driving) The sun is shining on the Hamptons sand Champagne glasses in every hand They smile for the cameras, perfect and white But nobody knows what’s coming tonight. I’m the new girl, I’m the mystery guest Here to put their "perfect lives" to the test They built their castle on a foundation of lies But they didn’t count on the girl with the cold eyes. [Pre-Chorus] (Atmospheric, building tension) They say two wrongs never make it right But I’m not looking for salvation in the light This isn’t a story about forgiveness, no This is how far I am willing to go. [Chorus] (Explosive, catchy, powerful beat) I’ve got a Red Sharpie Writing down the names across the map Walking right into the lion's trap One by one, I’m gonna cross out the debt Paint your white picket fences red. Yeah, I’ve got a Red Sharpie No absolution, no mercy inside of me It’s not a story about forgiveness It’s about how far I am willing to go. (Staccato, precise) You only have to wait. I’m here to rewrite your fate. (Spoken, sharp) With a Red Sharpie. [Verse 2] (Bass heavy, confident flow) But I remember every word you said You hide your guilt while I paint the town red You lit the match, now watch it burn It’s finally, finally my turn. [Pre-Chorus] (Building tension again) They say two wrongs never make it right But I’m not looking for salvation in the light This isn’t a story about forgiveness, no This is how far I am willing to go. [Chorus] (Big Energy, Anthem-like) Cause I’ve got a Red Sharpie Writing down the names across the map Walking right into the lion's trap One by one, I’m gonna cross out the debt Paint your white picket fences red. Yeah, I’ve got a Red Sharpie No absolution, no mercy inside of me It’s not a story about forgiveness It’s about how far I am willing to go. You only have to wait. I’m here to rewrite your fate. [Bridge] (Music drops to minimal strings, slow and dangerous) Lydia ... Senator Kingsly ... Dr. Banks ... And in the end ... the King and Queen. Empathy is a mercy you won't find in me I’m the architect of your tragedy. [Outro] (Full power, chaotic and loud) One by one the guilty fall! Crossing out the debt! I haven't finished yet! Red It’s the only color left. (Sudden Stop)
