[Intro – female vocals, soft, smoky, almost spoken] How many lies fell soft from their mouths? So many sins… you stopped counting now Velvet rooms and broken vows You wear your silence like a crown Cigarette smoke in a chandelier sky Every truth here is dressed in a lie They sip slow like they’re buying time But time don’t care… it just passes by ⸻ [Hook – female vocals, melodic] Sip slow, let the night unfold Every truth gets bought and sold Smoke and mirrors, hearts on lease I’ll show you chaos dressed as peace ⸻ [Verse 1 – female vocals , seductive] You sit in the dark like it’s part of your skin Like silence is safer than letting me in Every thought that you bury, I keep Every promise you break in your sleep You don’t drink just to drown what you feel You drink just to see if it’s real So tell me, my love… when you stare at the glass Do you see who you are… or just shadows that pass? ⸻ [Hook – female vocals, fuller, layered harmonies] Sip slow, let the night unfold Every truth gets bought and sold Smoke and mirrors, hearts on lease I’ll show you chaos dressed as peace ⸻ [Verse 2 – male vocals, low, controlled rap – tightened flow] How many lies came out of their mouths? So many now I can’t even count Dracula drained what ran through my veins Now I’m the myth that’s tied to these chains Now I sit at the table, alone with the glass Watching Wraith paint peace for the crowd in a mask Whiskey low, let it burn when it pass Middle-class dreams getting spent way too fast Hear the tales of the undercity rise Watch ‘em flinch when it hits too close to their lives I’m chaos hiding, I don’t need their trust They fear the silence more than the rush Went from noise to a voice they can’t harm Now the calm got ‘em thinking I’m part of the storm Look at this misery, everyone’s enemies Turn it to lessons, it’s shaping my energy Watching reactions like stories on screens Yeah… this could be my Sesame Street ⸻ [Hook – female vocals, fuller, layered harmonies] Sip slow, let the night unfold Every truth gets bought and sold Smoke and mirrors, hearts on lease I’ll show you chaos dressed as peace ⸻ [Verse 3 – female vocals, colder, exposing] You call it control but you’re losing the thread Every path that you walk ends the same in your head All these people you study like prey You were never that different… just better at play You built up a myth just to hide in the role Now you’re trapped in the script that you wrote for your soul So keep watching the crowd like they don’t understand You’re not feared for the chaos… You’re feared ‘cause you can’t ⸻ [Bridge – male vocals, quieter, almost breaking] Funny thing… I can see it now Every truth got buried somehow Every version of me they doubt Still I never found a way out You call it a cage, I call it control You call it a lie, I call it the role If I let it go… what’s left of me? Just a ghost with a memory ⸻ [Final Hook – female vocals, big, haunting, almost overwhelming] Sip slow, let the night unfold Every truth gets bought and sold Smoke and mirrors, hearts on lease I’ll show you chaos dressed as peace Hold tight, let the story bend Every king meets a bitter end You don’t fight what you’re meant to be… You just fall… eventually ⸻ [Outro – stripped, piano + vinyl crackle, Wraith whisper] You never came here for peace…
