[Intro] [dark ambient guitar, distant piano, vinyl crackle] [male] She’s a witch! [female singer whisper, amused] No darling… I’m just a bitch. [beat enters — sparse 808, muted guitar] So go ahead and burn me in your sticks Go ahead and sink me with your bricks Go ahead and weigh me against your tricks Judge me or hunt me Love me or hate me Just know when I come knocking You know what’s at stake, darling [Verse 1] You drew the circle You lit the flame You gave me every filthy name You needed something you could blame So call me wicked Call me cursed Paint me black so you can feel clean first You built your halo out of borrowed light Then hid your teeth when they came into sight You swear you know exactly what I am But do you even recognize yourself Pretty little liar Looking through the glass Tell me how long you thought The reflection wouldn’t last You learned to smile You learned to hide You learned which parts of you Were safer left behind [Pre-Chorus] Don’t lie to me Lie to me now Tell me the story You rehearsed so well Don’t look away Don’t make a sound I know the face But I want what’s underneath [Drop] DON’T LIE TO ME! LIE TO ME NOW! NOW WHO’S MISTAKING WHO?! [Chorus] You’re just another liar in the glass Darling But who are you when the glass starts calling? Give me the raw Give what’s unclean Give me the dirty Give what’s unseen Give me the part You buried deep Give me the wound You never let speak You can hate me You can curse my name But I know you hear it When the glass calls the same [Verse 2] You want a monster Something you can fear Something with fangs So you don’t have to see yourself here You want a villain You want a crime Something you can point at When you can’t outrun your mind Sharp tongue Cold hands Pretty little promises You dressed your hunger up And called it innocence You learned obedience You called it grace You learned to disappear Behind a beautiful face Every little “desire” Every little “pleasure” Every little piece of yourself They taught you not to trust You buried what you wanted You buried what you knew Then built a better person And called that person you [Pre-Chorus] Don’t lie to me Lie to me now Tell me who taught you To keep your head down Don’t look away Don’t make a sound The glass remembers Every time you drowned [Drop] DON’T LIE TO ME! LIE TO ME NOW! NOW WHO’S MISTAKING WHO?! [Chorus] You’re just another liar in the glass Darling But who are you when the glass starts calling? Give me the raw Give what’s unclean Give me the dirty Give what’s unseen Give me the part You buried deep Give me the wound You never let speak You can hate me You can curse my name But I know you hear it When the glass calls the same [Bridge] [everything strips back — cello drone, reversed piano, distant childlike music box] [whispered] You weren’t born knowing shame. You weren’t born knowing fear. You weren’t born knowing which parts of yourself they’d make disappear. [soft female lead] Before the mask Before the name Before you learned to hide the flame Who were you? [whisper] Who were you? [building distortion] What did you want before they taught you not to want? What did you love before they taught you what to hate? What did you fear before you learned to call it weakness? [beat cuts] Give me the raw. Give me the unclean. Give me the dirty. Give me what’s unseen. [Whispered] Give me the child… [explosive growled scream] YOU KEEP BURIED UNDERNEATH! [Breakdown] [crushing guitars, distorted 808, screamed gang vocals] TAKE OFF THE HALO! TAKE OFF THE HORNS! TAKE OFF THE MASK YOU WERE FORCED TO WEAR! TAKE OFF THE NAME! CAST OUT THE LIES! WHO WERE YOU BEFORE YOU LEARNED TO HIDE?! GIVE ME THE CHILD! GIVE ME THE SIN! GIVE ME THE PART YOU NEVER LET IN! GIVE ME THE FEAR! GIVE ME THE NEED! GIVE ME THE THING THAT STILL KNOWS HOW TO BLEED! [half-time pause] I DON’T WANT YOUR SHAME! I DON’T WANT YOUR LIES! I WANT THE LITTLE MONSTER YOU LEFT ALIVE! [Final Chorus] You’re just another liar in the glass Darling Now the glass is calling back Give me the raw Give what’s unclean Give me the dirty Give what’s unseen You built a life To bury the truth But something inside Still remembers you You can break me You can curse my name You can burn the mirror But it won’t change The face in the glass The eyes underneath The child you tried to murder [Final Breakdown] [everything drops except sub-bass and breathing] WHO’S IN THE GLASS?! [gang vocals] WHO’S IN THE GLASS?! WHO’S IN THE GLASS?! [female lead, almost whispered] Look at me. [beat returns] WHO’S IN THE GLASS?! [full scream] WHO ARE YOU?! [Outro] [beat dissolves, distant piano and breathing] [male voice, distant] She’s a witch… [female voice, soft and intimate] No, darling. [small pause] I’m just a bitch. [whisper] There you are. [long silence] You thought I came to damn you. [soft breath] I came to find you.
