[INTRO ~ female vocals | powerful, seductive tone, chest voice | EXTREMELY HIGH energy] You opened the door Offered me everything and more Took a broken whore Lifted me up felt love in my core Brought peace to the war Inside me. We didn’t keep score I crave going back to before I want to restore Back to first opening the door [VERSE 1 ~ female vocals | assertive, controlling | fast delivery | high energy] You saw me broken and weak Made me feel like I was a treat And you needed to eat. Then when you beat Me into defeat The cage built around me Defining what I see There was no possibility Of retreat [CHORUS ~ female vocals | dominant, possessive | anthemic | PEAK energy] You control my heartbeat Grip my cold, turn up the heat I try and stand, you show me my seat Your power grows My energy depletes When I run empty you explode Make me feel complete Till you hit delete I become obsolete The cycle restarts, repeats Once again you are so damn sweet I’m locked to you like feet in concrete [VERSE 2 ~ female → male overlap | manipulation vs dependence | unstable energy] You accept me. Show me care Make all that I hate manipulate Into feeling beautiful, aware You pick the fool. Begin the repair. But the tools you won’t share Keeps you in control. I look crazy, call you an asshole You counter with a hug “I love you, beautiful” I’m a puppet, my strings you tug Your power fills me whole You grip my soul Caught in your snare I need you like air You take my breath away Suddenly out of nowhere. [CHORUS ~ male vocals | strained, panicked | slipping energy] You control my heartbeat Grip my pain, turn up the heat Set your aim Sorry I’m so insane I can’t handle the load My turn to explode You control the rate Speed and power my state When I detonate Till you hit delete I become obsolete Erased in place repeat Repeat, repeat. Comfort in concrete [BREAKDOWN ~ male vocals | defeated, raw | drums + guitar] You have me trapped I can’t leave My heart is snapped Ace up your sleeve You go away Ignore me begging you to stay My fault you can’t play I’m left to grieve Completely tapped Dodging traffic head on Going down a one way Beginning to decay. From the first day I was just prey Affection display For once I felt okay Till you took it away Emotions turned grey You say I was the one to betray Finally I obey So we can go back to the start Your claws on my heart To late to escape [DECONSTRUCTION ~ male vocals | hollow, numb | guitar only] You control my heartbeat Grip my soul, turn up the heat As below, never felt so low I rise above, I don’t know How high you will make me go I feel incomplete Nothing below my feet Freefall A day A month A week Till you hit delete Erased, obsolete The cycle restarts, repeats This time bittersweet Your turn to eat. [CONFESSION ~ male vocals | regretful | VERY LOW energy] I don’t have narcissistic intent I’m sorry, this damage Not what I meant Who knew I could be this savage I bend, it creates a dent Wish I could blame the government. I wanted to repair your broken heart But from the start My parts had too much wear and tear, “Can’t give you a ten dollar bill If my pockets are bare” No matter how much I care Can’t make what’s not there Appear from thin air [GASLIGHT ~ male vocals | detached | near silence] The gas leaks slowly Like a debt you owe me The lighter you show me Slip it out of your pocket While you blow… away Gas filling up the room Takes over, consumes The match sparks too soon Grows alongside the doom In your brain. Focus on the ride Can see grey turn white Blinded even before sight Prepared to have the gaslight Turns wrong into right Put on the gloves, not to fight Flick the spark, midnight Becomes daylight Excite Delight Incite Recite Lines memorized, time to rewrite Hope to reunite We are Vaporized, take flight With one final gaslight "Baby if you could calm the chaos I wouldn't need my Love to save us" [OUTRO ~ male vocals | empty, nihilistic | harmony → whisper] I did all I could Jumped every hurdle Finished each test I did my best Even with how many answers I guessed As time ran out, quickly filled in the rest Why you getting so stressed Can’t say we were set up to fail Because failure leads to success We had no instruction Everything already flailed Cutting down a tree, axe is dull Can’t be held responsible When it’s unfeasible Love like concrete Sour what once was sweet With every repeat More becomes obsolete Shattered further the more we delete With no one left complete Chair breaks when you take your seat Tempers rising, I feel the heat Once again it’s time hear the beat Of your heart, hope Love saves us
