You're Lying

[Intro — dry, immediate] I don’t— (whisper, distant) you’re lying --- [Verse 1 — clipped, cocky, sharp] I don’t check it anymore don’t even notice when it’s gone keep it moving, keep it light never let it sit too long I don’t sit with empty space I just bury it in noise keep it shallow, keep it quick keep it out my fucking voice (whisper, quick) you’re lying --- [Pre-Chorus — controlled, set up for interruption] I don’t need anyone here I don’t need any of it I don’t need— (you’re lying) --- [Chorus — punchy + layered contradiction] I only belong to myself (i’m yours) I don’t need this anymore (i really need you) I don’t wanna feel it hit when it’s quiet in my chest I don’t miss you— (you’re lying) —I just hate what’s left --- [Verse 2 — longer, defensive, explaining] I don’t replay it like I used to when it actually meant something it’s just noise, it doesn’t stay, it doesn’t get to me like that I don’t feel it in the silence, I just fill it with whatever so it never gets the chance to turn into something I lack I don’t think about the way it used to settle when it hit me or the way it made it easier to sit inside my head it was nothing, it was empty, it was never what I fucking needed— (you’re lying) --- [Pre-Chorus — unstable, breaking earlier] I don’t need anyone here I don’t need any of this I don’t need— (you’re lying) --- [Chorus — bigger, more pressure underneath] I only belong to myself (i’m yours) I don’t need this anymore (i really need you) I don’t wanna feel it hit when it’s quiet in my chest I don’t miss you— (you’re lying) —I just hate what’s left --- [Bridge — unraveling, defensive ramble] I don’t need this, I just fucking hate how it feels when it’s quiet and there’s nothing there to cover it or keep it from coming back it’s not you, it’s just the absence, it’s just something that I’m used to— (you’re lying) I don’t need you, I just hate how it feels when there’s nothing and there’s no one there to fill it or distract me from the fact— (you’re lying) (lead, strained) I don’t— (whisper, relentless) you’re lying (brief drop) (whisper, close) you’re lying --- [Final Chorus — denial, cracked but pushing] I only belong to myself (i’m yours) I don’t need this anymore (i really need you) I don’t wanna feel it hit when it’s quiet in my chest I don’t miss you— (whisper, strongest) you’re lying (lead forces it) —I just hate what’s left --- [Outro — cut, unresolved] I don’t need— (silence)
