Verse 1 I woke up light, had a little gold Morning felt soft, I could hold control Had a full bar, steady green glow Didn’t think twice, didn’t think you’d show Then your voice cuts through my day Static builds, colors drain away Same old storm in a different tone And suddenly I’m not my own Pre-Chorus You don’t yell, you don’t fight But you drain me in plain sight Every word just pulls me in Like I owe you oxygen Chorus You don’t need fangs to bleed me dry You just sigh and darken the sky I had a spark when the morning came Now I’m ash with someone else’s pain Energy vampire, leave me be I need a little light left for me Battery low when you’re around Every high just crashes down Ad-libs (VERY FAINT – Intrusive Thoughts, glitchy): (missed a spot…) (not enough…) (again…) (do it right…) (you forgot…) (still wrong…) (look again…) Ad-libs (Inner Voice – soft, warm): (I tried…) (it’s okay…) (I’m trying…) Verse 2 You check my work like a broken game Same old rules but they always change “You missed a spot,” I hear again Like I never learn, like I never did I try to focus, I try to stay But my mind slips sideways anyway Too many thoughts, too loud, too fast Trying to make one moment last Pre-Chorus I’m not careless, I’m not slow Just fighting things you’ll never know Every step takes twice the try Still you say I don’t apply Chorus You don’t need fangs to bleed me dry You just sigh and darken the sky I had a spark when the morning came Now I’m ash with someone else’s pain Energy vampire, leave me be I need a little light left for me Battery low when you’re around Every high just crashes down Ad-libs (VERY FAINT – Intrusive Thoughts, glitchy): (not enough…) (missed it…) (again…) (fix it…) (why can’t you…) (look closer…) Ad-libs (Inner Voice – slightly clearer than before): (I tried…) (I’m still here…) (I did my best…) Bridge (Glitch, drop instrumentation, hollow tone) I’m not your fix I’m not your cure I’m not the place You pour it all I hear you say I’m hurting you But I’m still learning How to stand at all My brain runs wild Won’t stay in line I try to catch it Every time Ad-libs (Intrusive vs Inner Voice overlap): (intrusive: not enough… not enough… still wrong…) (inner: I tried… I tried… please see me…) Final Chorus (More Defiant) You don’t need fangs to twist the blame But I won’t carry all that weight I had a spark and I’m taking it back Not letting you fade me to black Energy vampire, step away You don’t get to drink my day Battery full, I’m walking out Taking my light without a doubt Ad-libs (Shift – intrusive fades, inner voice rises): (intrusive fading: …not enough… …missed…) (inner stronger: I tried. I’m enough. I’m done.) Outro (Soft, fading, glitchy) Low battery… not today Low battery… I walked away Low battery… not anymore (Reboot… restart… restore…) Final whisper (centered, clear): I’m enough.
