[Intro: amplified drip-click loop, sparse guitar bend, bass pulse, distant door slam]
[Key: E Minor]
(She's at the door again)

[Verse 1: isolated upfront dry vocal, minimal bass, drip-click pulse]
[Key: E Minor]
You're standing in my hallway with your hand out
Saying "give me back my toolbox, it's been months"
I say "I know it's yours, I never said it wasn't"
"But I'm not giving it back — I'm lending it to you"

[Pre-Chorus: building intensity, instruments stacking, rising vocal tension]
[Key: A Minor]
You blink twice, say "that makes no sense"
I say "it makes perfect sense, just listen"
The thing you handed me is still yours
But the thing I hand you now is a loan

[Chorus: massive wall of guitars, full-band energy, raspy belting, call-and-response]
[Key: C Major]
I'm lending you your toolbox
(That's not the same as giving it back)
I'm lending you your toolbox
(You'll get it when I get it back)
You gave it to me, I give it to you
That's a loan, not a return
And now you're standing there asking me why
I'm lending you your toolbox

[Verse 2: active bass enters, drums energetic, foreground guitar riffs]
[Key: E Minor]
You say "but it was mine to begin with"
I say "yeah, and now it's mine to lend"
You say "that's not how borrowing works"
I say "that's exactly how borrowing works"
You lent it to me, I lent it to you
The chain keeps going, that's the deal

[Pre-Chorus: tighter rhythm, staccato vocal delivery, urgency rising]
[Key: A Minor]
You're getting loud, I'm staying calm
You're calling me insane, I'm calling it math
If I give you back what you gave to me
Then I've got nothing left to lend

[Chorus: massive wall of guitars, full-band energy, call-and-response]
[Key: C Major]
I'm lending you your toolbox
(That's not the same as giving it back)
I'm lending you your toolbox
(You'll get it when I get it back)
You gave it to me, I give it to you
That's a loan, not a return
And now you're standing there asking me why
I'm lending you your toolbox

[Bridge: half-time feel, minimal drums, intimate vocal, drip-click solo]
[Key: B Minor]
You say you can't trust me anymore
I say "trust is what you need to lend a thing"
You say "exactly — so give it back"
I say "I am — I'm lending it to you"
You turn around, you walk out slow
You say "I'll come back when you make sense"
I say "I'll be here, I'll keep it safe"
"I'll keep it safe until you lend me something else"

[Guitar Solo: expressive bends, overdriven tone, wide stereo, punchy stops]
[Key: E Minor]

[Final Chorus: intense vocal delivery, full band, stacked harmonies]
[Key: C Major]
I'm lending you your toolbox
(That's not the same as giving it back)
I'm lending you your toolbox
(You'll get it when I get it back)
You gave it to me, I give it to you
That's a loan, not a return
And now you're standing there asking me why
I'm lending you your toolbox

[Instrumental Outro: fading instruments, drip-click loop decaying, distant door slam]
[Key: E Minor]
(She didn't take it)

[Hard Stop]
