[Verse 1 – dry voice + minimal beat] You said “You good?” Yeah. Sure. I guess. Your mouth smiled But your eyes — yeah your eyes they… looked elsewhere. [Break – whisper-sung] Maybe I’m seeing things. (But I’m not.) Right? No. I’m not. [Pre-Chorus – subbass swell + broken rhythm] You cover it in cool But it reeks — God, it reeks Doesn’t it? Yeah It reeks of… what? Tired? Control? Me? [Chorus – layered vocals + rhythmic snaps] Disdain That’s the word I couldn’t name it But now I can’t unsee it Disdain Not hate — Nah, hate takes heat This is colder Sharper Quieter [Verse 2 – guitar loop + whispered counter melody] You don’t say it You imply You don't leave You hover You perform Concern Then blink It’s gone [Break – inner monologue tone] Maybe I made it worse (yeah maybe) Maybe I set this off (or maybe you did) Maybe we both wore it too long [Chorus – heavier now, stomp beat + stacked “Disdain”] Disdain Don’t touch me with that tone Don’t ask, then flinch when I answer Disdain Every gesture a quiet no wrapped in a nod [Bridge – spoken/sung, processed] You want peace but on your terms You want closeness without weight You want me edited [Final Refrain – vocal climax + glitchy distortion] Disdain I felt it before but now I speak it Disdain Say it again Yeah — say it Say it Say it Say it You Feel What You Project
