[Verse 1: crisp vocals, clear 808 bass, subtle reverb] There’s a meeting after the meeting Another ask behind the ask When it seems like we’re agreeing Intentions hide behind the mask Every hallway has a whisper Every nod's a careful bet When I think I have an answer It’s really just a silhouette [Pre-Chorus: building intensity, add in background vocals] Can’t tell if you’re friend or spy Every word’s a battle cry You smile like nothing’s going on but I can see the goodwill’s gone [Chorus: rich vocal harmony] You spark the fuse, then lock the doors And watch the fire climb the floors Each offer hides a dark demand Each smile is a sleight of hand I read the room, I see you stall And I don’t trust you at all Not at all Not at all Not at all Not at all Not at all Not at all [Verse 2] Every answer serves a side every comment tilts the scale Every “truth” is modified to fit the scheme behind the veil Beneath the words are hidden plans Signals steeped in coded speech The game is played with hidden hands Agreement wrapped in sharp deceit [Pre-Chorus] Can’t tell if you’re friend or spy Every word’s a battle cry You smile like nothing’s going on but I can see the goodwill’s gone [Chorus] You spark the fuse, then lock the doors And watch the fire climb the floors Each offer hides a dark demand Each smile is a sleight of hand I read the room, I see you stall And I don’t trust you at all Not at all Not at all Not at all [Bridge: pull back, plucked synths lightly, emotional vocals, reverb] No clear sides, no solid ground Minefields laid without a sound A plan, a pitch, a masked decree A war declared professionally [Instrumental break] [Chorus] You spark the fuse, then lock the doors And watch the fire climb the floors Each offer hides a dark demand Each smile is a sleight of hand I read the room, I see you stall And I don’t trust you at all [Outro: pulling back] If this is how the game is run Congrats to everyone. Well done I watch you waiting for me to fall And I don’t trust you at all Not at all And I don't trust you at all
