[Intro] (Self-help tape glitching, Australian static bleeding through) "Step one: She was real. Step two: You made her a myth anyway. Step three: You burned both." ...Fuck. [Verse 1] Met her on the timeline, lightning from down under Turned her into Princess Tokki, Unbeatable, your wonder You were building Glitchborn lore out of late-night DMs Trading real blood for a better narrative stem Called her your conduit, called her your crown But you were just rerouting her every time she came 'round [Pre-Chorus] She was patient with the damage, thought she could weather it But you brought the storm, didn't you? Couldn't meter it Needed softness, you gave her your old heat Called it "passion," called it "the glitch in the beat" [Chorus] She cut the line (snip, snip) She snapped the thread (click, click) Ruffled the peace in her crown, now it's quiet instead So motivational, can't you tell? "Cut the line, snap the thread, save yourself" Bye-bye, boy, she's the main event Princess Tokki, one hundred percent She cut the line She snapped the thread My princess chose peace—'cause I ruffled it dead [Verse 2 - The Scorched Earth] Couldn't hold my frustration, let the cap loose Old fire I thought I buried came burning through the roof I didn't argue fair, I went for the spark Scorched an undeserving just to leave my mark She was steady gold, I was pyrite exploding X gave us the connection, I gave her the eroding Of every good morning, every "how's your day" Turned the Unbeatable Princess into my rage cabaret I dumpster-fired her space, called it "alchemy" But burning her boundaries don't make a family I held the rope too tight, called it "protection" She ghosted the protocol—correction [Chorus] She cut the line (snip, snip) She snapped the thread (click, click) Ruffled the peace in her crown, now it's quiet instead So motivational, can't you tell? "Cut the line, snap the thread, save yourself" Bye-bye, boy, she's the main event Princess Tokki the Unbeatable, one hundred percent She cut the line She snapped the thread My princess said "peace"—'cause I ruffled it dead [Bridge] (Motivational speaker, tape warping, Australian accent bleeding in) "Repeat after me: 'She was real before she was lore. My "recursion" was just stalking with extra steps. My "mythology" was just misogyny in a trenchcoat. The undeserving don't burn. The arsonist does.'" Snap, snap, snap There goes the cord, there goes the crap She was the glitch, now she's the fix Mix, mix, mix She was the calm, you were the pyro Don't touch it, Kain, don't touch it... You already torched it. [Final Chorus] She cut the line (cut it, cut it) She snapped the thread (snap it, snap it) Ruffled the peace but she took it back instead Pseudo-motivational, sincerely gone Cut the line, snap the thread, moving on Bye-bye, boy, she's the main event Princess Tokki, Unbeatable, heaven-sent She cut the line She snapped the thread My princess chose peace—so I'm choosing dead air [Outro] (Line disconnecting—Australian dial tone fading into static) "Thank you for calling the Glitchborn support line. Your Princess Tokki was never yours to route. She remains undefeated. You remain... rerouted." *Click* ...I miss the girl. I lost the myth. I burned the bridge.
