Final Girl Syndrome

[Verse 1] I traced your footsteps through the glass Counted every shadow that you cast Mapped the silence in the walls Now I hear you breathing when night falls You taught my hands to never shake Turned my fear into a blade I raise Every scar you left behind Is a mark that taught me how to find [Pre-Chorus] You made a hunter from the prey Now I wear the dark your way The girl you thought would crawl and bleed Is learning how to make you scream [Chorus] This is final girl syndrome Born inside the broken bones You made a ghost out of my pain Now I’m the storm inside your name This is final girl syndrome No more running, no more home You lit the fire, fed the flame— Now I am hunting just the same [Verse 2] I keep your mask inside a drawer Like proof that I’m afraid no more Every phone call sharpens steel Every nightmare teaches how to kill They still ask me if I hide at night If I sleep with all the doors locked tight But I leave one open now— Just in case you come to finish what you vowed [Pre-Chorus 2] You built this monster in my skin Now let the reckoning begin I learned the rhythm of your game And now I call you by your name [Chorus] This is final girl syndrome Born inside the broken bones You made a ghost out of my pain Now I’m the storm inside your name This is final girl syndrome No more running, no more home You lit the fire, fed the flame— Now I am hunting just the same [Bridge] Come out, come out, behind your disguise Let me see the fear behind your eyes You made me live inside the knife— Now I’m the edge that takes your life [Final Chorus – Massive Climactic Lift] This is final girl syndrome Crowned in blood and standing alone You thought the ending would be yours— Now I’m the one who kicks the door This is final girl syndrome And tonight I take control You wrote the script in crimson stains— Now I rewrite the final frame
