“Zero Trust (Let You In)” (Original Lyrics) [Verse 1] You slid in quiet like a shadow at night, No loud alarms, just a flicker of light. I had my walls up, patches on time, But you found that crack in the back of my mind. Two-factor heartbeat, still you got through, Social-engineered me with “I miss you.” Now my screen’s lit up with a warning sign— Tell me why I still hit “reply.” [Pre-Chorus] I change my passwords like I change my plans, Say I’m done, then you’re back in my hands. You’re a link I know I shouldn’t choose… But I hover there like I’ve got something to prove. [Chorus] I’m supposed to be zero trust, But I let you in, I let you in. You’re a phishing hook in velvet gloves, And I fall again, I fall again. You breach my boundaries, then call it love, Leave me in logs I can’t defend. I’m supposed to be zero trust… But I let you in. [Verse 2] You talk in riddles like encrypted chat, Then ghost me hard like an after-attack. My friends say “block,” I say “I already did,” But you spoof a number and you’re back on my grid. You’re the kind of threat that looks like home, A familiar face with an unknown code. And I’m scanning every word you send— Still I run you like a program again. [Pre-Chorus] I read the signs like an incident report, Every red flag, I still ignore. You’re the risk I keep accepting, Like my heart forgot its own direction. [Chorus] I’m supposed to be zero trust, But I let you in, I let you in. You’re a phishing hook in velvet gloves, And I fall again, I fall again. You breach my boundaries, then call it love, Leave me in logs I can’t defend. I’m supposed to be zero trust… But I let you in. [Bridge] Now I’m doing forensics on a Friday night, Tracing back the moment you rewired my life. You had admin access to my dopamine, And I handed over the keys like it didn’t mean a thing. So I’m drawing lines like firewall rules, No more “maybe,” no more loopholes. If you knock again, you’ll see the sign: Access denied. Yeah, I’m fine. [Final Chorus] I’m supposed to be zero trust, So I locked you out, I locked you out. You’re a phishing hook in velvet gloves, But I’m wiser now, I’m wiser now. You can try my gates, you can test my love, But you won’t get in again. I’m supposed to be zero trust… And I’m not letting you in. [Outro] No more letting you in. No more letting you in.
