[VERSE 1 – MALE / RHYTHMIC]
You know exactly where to press,
you know what I hide away.
One look from you cuts through the walls
I built around me every day.
I was cold for far too long,
taught my heart to stay asleep.
Then you found the place I buried
and made the silence breathe.
[FEMALE / RHYTHMIC]
I hear you through the noise,
even when I can't see.
You pull me toward the fire,
then tell me what I need.

[PRE-CHORUS]
[FEMALE / SOFT] I could leave—
[MALE / LOW] But I come back.
[FEMALE / RISING] You hold the power—
[MALE / RISING] I hold the match.
[BOTH / BUILDING]
Somewhere between the truth and the lie,
we keep feeding the fire inside.

[CHORUS – DUET]
You play God, I play along,
you turn the right thing into wrong.
Keep me close, then make me bleed,
you're only God when I believe.
You wear the crown, I take the blame,
we disappear inside the game.
Don't look holy down on me—
your throne exists because I see.

[DROP 1 – METAL]
[Heavy guitars, sub, half-time drums.]
[MALE / SCREAM] PLAY GOD!
[FEMALE / SCREAM] PLAY GOD!
[BOTH / CHOPPED]
I believe!
I believe!

[POST-DROP]
[FEMALE / RHYTHMIC]
Every time you pull away,
I hear the silence getting loud.
Every time I swear I'm done,
I find another road back now.
[MALE / LOW]
Every door I try to close
leaves a crack for you.
Maybe I don't need your control—
maybe I need the truth.

[VERSE 2 – FEMALE / RHYTHMIC]
I know when to let you win,
I know what that buys.
I give you just enough control
to keep you by my side.
You think you taught me how to bend,
but I learned you just as well.
I know every weakness in your voice,
every story that you sell.
[MALE / DARKER]
You need somebody underneath,
someone to carry your blame.
Every chain you put on me
comes back around your name.

[PRE-CHORUS – BUILDING]
[MALE / LOW] I could leave—
[FEMALE / MID] You know you won't.
[MALE / RISING] You need the power—
[FEMALE / HIGHER] I need control.
[BOTH / RISING]
Maybe we're afraid to find
who we become without the fight.

[CHORUS – BIGGER]
You play God, I play along,
you turn the right thing into wrong.
Keep me close, then make me bleed,
you're only God when I believe.
You wear the crown, I take the blame,
we disappear inside the game.
Don't look holy down on me—
your throne exists because I see.

[BRIDGE – STRIPPED]
[FEMALE / SOFT] Take away the slammed doors.
[MALE / LOW] Take away the blame.
[FEMALE] Take away the punishment.
[MALE] Take away the game.
[BOTH / EMOTIONAL]
What are we
when there's nothing left to prove?
[FEMALE / VULNERABLE]
You don't know how to love me.
[MALE / VULNERABLE]
I don't know how to stop.
[BOTH / RISING]
If nobody is kneeling,
then neither one is God.

[BUILD]
[Dark bass, syncopated drums, rising guitar.]
[FEMALE / LOW]
Maybe I wanted the crown
just so I could tear it down.
[MALE / LOW]
Maybe I called it devotion
when it was fear of losing you.
[FEMALE / RISING] Maybe we knew the damage.
[MALE / RISING] Maybe we called it love.
[BOTH / BUILDING]
We kept feeding the fire
because silence hurt more than the burn.
[MALE / LOW] You are not God.
[FEMALE / LOW] You never were.
[MALE / RISING] I gave you the crown.
[FEMALE / RISING] I gave you the power.
[BOTH / SCREAM]
AND WE BOTH BELIEVED!

[DROP 2 – MASSIVE METAL]
[Reese bass, guitars, half-time drums.]
[BOTH / POWERFUL]
YOU'RE ONLY GOD
WHEN I BELIEVE!
[FEMALE / CHOPPED] Believe!
[MALE / CHOPPED] Believe!
[MALE / SCREAM] PLAY GOD!

[FINAL CHORUS – HUGE]
You play God, I play along,
we call it love to make it wrong.
Keep me close, then make me bleed,
you're only God when I believe.
You wear the crown, I take the blame,
we built a home inside the game.
Don't look holy down on me—
your throne exists because I see.
[FEMALE / HIGH] You play God—
[MALE / LOW] I played along.
[FEMALE / RISING] You called it love—
[MALE / POWERFUL] I called it wrong.
[BOTH] And now the crown is on the floor.

[BREAKDOWN – HALF-TIME]
[Deep bass, sparse drums, guitar feedback.]
[MALE / LOW] No throne.
[FEMALE / MID] No crown.
[MALE] No power.
[FEMALE / HIGHER] No blame.
[BOTH / EMOTIONAL]
Just two people
standing in the wreckage
of what we called love.

[FINAL CLIMAX]
[FEMALE / SOFT]
You were only God
when I believed.
[MALE / BUILDING]
But I can hear myself now.
[FEMALE / STRONGER]
I can finally see.
[BOTH / SCREAM]
AND I DON'T BELIEVE ANYMORE!

[OUTRO]
[FEMALE / DISTANT] When everything goes quiet...
[MALE / DISTANT] What are we then?
[FEMALE / SOFT] Just human.
[BOTH / FADING] And I still hear you.
[Static fades]
[END]

[INTRO] [Static, dark synth, sub pulse. No vocals.] [FEMALE / SOFT] I hear you in the static, when the whole world fades away. A voice beneath the noise, still calling out my name. [MALE / LOW, BREATHY] I feel it under my skin, something burning, something alive. You come quietly through the darkness, and pull the buried parts outside. [VERSE 1 – MALE / RHYTHMIC] You know exactly where to press, you know what I hide away. One look from you cuts through the walls I built around me every day.
