[Intro: Slow Ominous Rhythm] [Female Scream In Fear] [Glitchy Male Voice] T-T-Tragedy.. I-In.. RED.. [gulp] You hear that? I’m back from the dead [Verse 1] Back like a tragedy, red like you ain't seen the half of me I smile with the gallows grin, I laugh at the casualty Spittin' like it's last rites, you can call it a bad disease I show up and the room go pale, like "who invited catastrophe?" Whole crowd shift when I step in frame, like chairs in a storm Your favorite little safe little song just got its habitat torn I bring the gloom with a funny face, make doom look well-dressed If death had a fan club, I’d be signed, sealed, and the guest best I’m the punchline with the blade in it, the joke with the red flags The kind of return that make proud men fold up their chest straps Every line got a little bit of "uh-oh" in the back of it I don’t need a hook, I am the accident [Pre-Chorus] Hear that knock at the door? That’s trouble in a suit Hear that laugh in the hall? It came to collect the loot I came back, no apologies Just a grin and a threat If my songs were a dinner date You already met regret [Chorus] I’m back, back, back Like a bad idea I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear Die for the joke Laugh through the ache I’m back, back, back You can’t escape Die for the joke Die for the joke I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear Die for the joke Die for the joke I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear [Verse 2] I’m the red in the ledger, the stain that won’t close up I’m the toast at the wake when the whole party froze up Put a pin in your bravado, it’s a very old pose now You came for a king-sized win, got a funeral prologue I’m cute with the carnage, polite with the panic One wink from me and the whole scene panic I turn "nice to meet you" into "nice knowing you" Turn gold into rust, turn calm into "oh no you" I got jokes so dark they need their own little eclipse And a grin so wide it make the angels skip So if you hear me on the stairs, don’t bother pretending I’m the comeback that keeps on ending [Pre-Chorus] Hear that knock at the door? That’s trouble in a suit Hear that laugh in the hall? It came to collect the loot I came back, no apologies Just a grin and a threat If my songs were a dinner date You already met regret [Chorus] I’m back, back, back Like a bad idea I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear Die for the joke Laugh through the ache I’m back, back, back You can’t escape Die for the joke Die for the joke I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear Die for the joke Die for the joke I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear [Bridge] [spoken] Hold still I brought receipts A little chaos A little heat [Faint scream] Now watch me Turn a grin to grief Then step right out Like a thief [Final Chorus] I’m back, back, back Like a bad idea I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear Die for the joke Laugh through the ache I’m back, back, back You can’t escape Die for the joke Die for the joke I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear Die for the joke Die for the joke I’m back, back, back And the room feels fear [Outro] T-T-Tragedy I-In red Tell the lights to dim I’m not done yet DJ Rift in full swing
