[Intro: Minimalist dark synth pads, bouncy carnival trap beat] [High-pitched intimate vocals, theatrical dark pop atmosphere] [Verse 1: Melodic emo-trap rhythm, bouncy and atmospheric] I took my sins and hid them on a mountain But no matter what I did, it seemed you always found them You lined them up and started to count them Built a heavy wall of guilt just to surround them Praying that the pouring rain would finally drown them Like a twisted kind of trophy, you would crown them [Lead-In: Beat drops out completely, dead silence] So tell me... [Pre-Chorus: Building theatrical tension, emotional alt-z tenor] Am I the demon you're dying to slay? Am I the reason for all your mistakes? Am I the heathen you wish to erase? Am I the Ephesian who's lost his faith? [Chorus: Heavy sidechain 808 drop, melodic emo-trap vocal energy] I swear I got better, you swear that I didn't It's time to sever the cause of attrition I feel like a beggar, praying for wisdom Always your lesser, and never forgiven Always my oppressor, but also my victim [Verse 2: Fast trap hi-hats, bouncy carnival trap rhythm] I kept my skeletons locked in the closet I carry the weight of my past for sure I cling to your words as if you're a prophet But you replaced my halo with your horns You made me the villain, the monster you see So it’s probably best for us both if I leave [Lead-In: Beat drops out completely, dead silence] But first tell me... [Pre-Chorus: Building theatrical tension, emotional alt-z tenor] Am I the demon you're dying to slay? Am I the reason for all your mistakes? Am I the heathen you wish to erase? Am I the Ephesian who's lost his faith? [Chorus: Heavy sidechain 808 drop, melodic emo-trap vocal energy] I swear I got better, you swear that I didn't It's time to sever the cause of attrition I feel like a beggar, praying for wisdom Always your lesser, and never forgiven Always my oppressor, but also my victim [Bridge: Stripped down to just close-mic vocals and ambient pads] I always did everything you asked No matter what it was, I busted my ass Every little flaw I worked to wash away I filed my edges just so you would stay But nothing's ever right, no matter what I did [Beat starts building fast, heavy sidechain pumping] So I'll leave tonight, 'cause I'm not really feeling this [Chorus: Maximum dark pop energy, heavy explosive 808 drop] I swear I got better, you swear that I didn't It's time to sever the cause of attrition I feel like a beggar, praying for wisdom Always your lesser, and never forgiven Always my oppressor, but also my victim [Outro: Decrescendo, slow fading dark synth pads] I'm leaving your prison... I'm keeping my wisdom... You can keep all your demons... I promise I'm leavin'...
