[Intro – spoken over 8-bit chimes] “Okay but in my defense… the Shiba mask slipped.” --- [Verse 1] Cape too long, tripping on my own hype Mask too tight, yeah it fogged up my sight Pressed between con-goers, merch bags collide Just a background character trying to hide Then boom— you crashed into my storyline Two NPCs suddenly realigned --- [Pre-Chorus] Didn’t come here to find romance Just wanted snacks and a place to dance But you said “Hey—wait—don’t I know your face?” And my heart glitched out like a game save erased --- [Chorus] Masked encounters down the hall You tripped I caught We both free-fall Your laugh hit me like a cheat-code call And then my mask fell—yeah— the fall --- [Verse 2] You held your plush up like a shield I flashed my katana like “behold, I wield!” Took silly pics in the artist aisle Your eyes broke through my cosplay style “Don’t disappear,” you whispered low Shiba ears tilted — perfect little glow And suddenly the con was just you and me A rare drop in a crowded NPC sea --- [Pre-Chorus 2] Didn’t think fate queued us in the same questline But you speedran straight through my guard this time --- [Chorus] Masked encounters down the hall You tripped I caught We both free-fall Your smile patched up my secret wall And then my mask fell—yeah— the fall --- [Bridge – 8-bit + gang vocals] Arcade lights Two player nights Hearts up, leveled wrong from right Catgirl chaos Shiba pride You grabbed my hand and pressed “co-op” inside --- [Final Chorus – double tempo] Masked encounters down the hall One slip One spark One lucky fall Your laugh rewrote my comic arc A glitch-kiss glow that lit the dark My mask came off my guard did too Guess falling fast was the cheat code— you --- [Outro] Meet me where the fandoms scream Where the weird kids love like a fever dream Comic pages, con-floor fate One Neko wink and it’s too late Uh oh oh it's too late
