[Intro — lone acoustic guitar, spacious] [Verse 1 — Frag: intimate, slightly nasal transmasc tenor, wounded and holding back tears] Here we are again Tearing down the very thing we built With sweat upon our hands Hang me out to dry, ruin me for life Crooked are the paths we've chosen [stacked male harmonies] But still, I needed to have you here Preen-cess, holding me while crashing out Staying, even when I didn't deserve it [Chorus — Frag: pleading, fragile clean vocal, voice cracking naturally] My ride or die baby Cheer captain saved me So how come you walked away from your crooked king? [breath catching, soft and defeated] [layered vocoder] Fucked with my world Everyday is so screwed Since you put me on blast for everything [layered vocoder] The future is just a black hole for me to kill [guitar drops out — bare Frag vocal] Don't look back, I don't think I will [pause — quieter, uncertain] [stacked male harmonies] Don't look back, I don't think I will [Bridge — sparse acoustic arpeggios; Frag trembling, intimate] Ruin me, rebuild us, repeat I see your smile in every person I meet Watching you from afar, no one can tell The obsession that I hide inside my broken shell [increasingly defeated, never louder] Ruin me, rebuild us, repeat [breath] [layered vocoder] Ruin me [fragile] Rebuild us, repeat [voice cracking] Ruin me, rebuild us, repeat [lower, exhausted] Ruin me [breath] [layered vocoder] Ruin me [Outro — Frag: emotionally exhausted, barely holding the notes] Ruin me, ruin me I see your smile in every person I meet Watching you from afar, no one can tell The obsession that I hide inside my broken shell [voice thinning] Ruin me [pause] [layered vocoder] Ruin me [barely sung, unresolved] Ruin me
