[Intro] (Icy synth pluck with heavy 808 sub-bass pulse) (Instrumental for 8 bars - sparse and tense) [Spoken: Close-mic, dry, matter-of-fact] "You thought you were moving slick." "But you're just another ghost in the system." "ENOUGH!!" [Verse 1] [Dry, cold staccato flow] Thief at daybreak, watching for a payday, leaving me in gray states, switching off the radiance. Wore their allegiance just to find a grievance, hidden in the deepness, reaching for my jugular. Calculating deviance, master of expedience, I can see the ingredients of your dark intentions. Fed on their vulnerability, lacked all accountability, trying to test my stability with your weak hostility! [Chorus] [Stark sub-bass pulse intensifies] [Melodic Trip-Hop Singing] Toxic monster, stole the light. Laughed it off in the middle of the night. You never cared, you never felt the raw. Unless you were twisting the knife in the sore. Karma loves monsters, she’s keeping the scars. Locked in the dark behind iron bars. Walking away clean? Now there's the mystery. Your shadow knows your history. [Verse 2] [Dry, cold staccato flow] Poured them the caffeine, mixed it with the obscene, creating a smoke screen just to shut the vision down. Traced my identity on their proximity, preaching your malignity then you let the bomb ignite. Tragic artistry, fake philanthropy, focused on the agony inside my arteries. Now the veneer is disappearing, hear the atmosphere is clearing, Mask is disintegrating, lies are precipitating, I am orchestrating your total overthrow! [Bridge] [Beat tightens: Sparse percussive clicks] [Restrained, rhythmic tension] See the room melt. Colors drip. All your pretty masks unstick. Every lie you served like wine... Coming back in overtime. [Final Chorus] [Melodic Trip-Hop Singing] Toxic monster, stole the light. Laughed it off in the middle of the night. You never cared, you never felt the raw. Unless you were twisting the knife in the sore. Karma loves monsters, she’s keeping the scars. Locked in the dark behind iron bars. Walking away clean? NO! That’s a mystery. Your shadow knows your history. [Outro] [Intimate and flat - Conversationally close] "Yeah." "Your shadow knows." "It's over." (Sudden silence) [End]
