V4.5-ALL

(Intro) (Starts with a heavy, rhythmic industrial clock ticking, building into a wall of distorted guitars) (Visceral spoken-word growl) Initialize the archive...Pull the receipts from the dark...Freshman year to the upcoming junior force...We document the timeline now. (Massive explosion of thrash drums) (Verse 1 - The Freshman Trauma) Let's go back to the start, back to freshman year Trapped in the tight corner of a room full of fear Elan blocked the physical exit, staring at my face Mocking my panic while I was gasping in that space Crying nonstop, my fight-or-flight stripped away I had to scream just to survive her containment that day Then she twisted the truth to escape from her blame Called me the bully to cover up her sick little game!(Verse 2 - The Institutional Hypocrisy) Then Landon entered the layout, sitting close to my heart But his loyalty shattered and ripped my safety apartHe checked himself into an institution for his own broken mind Facing the exact same mental battles that I had inside But on May 29th, when my system hit the absolute ledge When I was bleeding, crying, and suicidal on the edge Seriously Landon?! You packed your bags and you ran!You abandoned my layout because you couldn't be a man! (Verse 3 - The Long-Distance Manipulation & Breakups)I helped Elan with her breakups when she cried for some help Comforted her layout when she only thought of herself Sent her Citizen Soldier tracks to help her get through The toxic wreckage of what her ex Via put her through But she took my kindness and she turned it to ashHer dad is evil, so she learned to treat people like trashShe targets her own sisters with the exact same disease Until everyone in her household tells her to back off, please! ) Verse 4 - The Midnight Tracking Breach) Fast forward to the present, Saturday at midnight tollShe took Oliva’s phone just to hijack control Lurking in my private pages, reading my textsSpying on my bestie to see what she could break next Thrown a desperate text bomb in all caps to my screen"I NEED SPACE KK," acting petty and mean But I unleashed the reality check, held my ground in the fight And forced her own mother to evict her from my sight!(Chorus) Now it’s zero feet, I hope you choke on your noise!You’re a toxic black plague, I’m reclaiming my voice! Get the fuck out of my hospital, you’re banned from the gates! Ive got nothing but disgust for your manipulation and hate! Go run your mouth to the halls, try to pin it on meI’m a junior warrior and your shadow is dead to me! Zero feet! Zero trust! Absolute shutdown! Strip your keys from my layout and burn your fake crown! (Bridge) Guitars drop to a crushing, down-tuned chug. Rapid double-bass drum pounding) Landon behaves, so he’s stuck in the six-foot lane Sitting in the waiting room to minimize the painBut if he speaks to me at school, he’s instantly thrown outMy favorite security guard will clear him from my layout! And Elan causes a flatline with a single text or sightSo she is permanently banned from the facility tonight!My counselor has the files, the official school proofWe are locking down the fortress and protecting our youth!(Brutal Breakdown) MAY 29TH! LANDON RAN AWAY!FRESHMAN YEAR! ELAN BLOCKED THE WAY!VIA IS EVICTED!THE TEXT LOGS ARE LOCKED!THE TIMELINE IS CHRONICLED!THE SANCTUARY IS SHOCKED!ZERO FEET!(Chorus) Now it’s zero feet, I hope you choke on your noise!You’re a toxic black plague, I’m reclaiming my voice!Get the fuck out of my hospital, you’re banned from the gates!I’ve got nothing but disgust for your manipulation and hate!Go run your mouth to the halls, try to pin it on meI’m a junior warrior and your shadow is dead to me!Zero feet! Zero trust! Absolute shutdown!Strip your keys from my layout and burn your fake crown! Outro) Clock ticking returns, fading into a cold industrial hiss) Shadow-pathing the halls, looking up every fiveHunter’s holding my infinity bond, keeping my spirit aliveThe whole chronology is sealed, the archives are doneYou’re just historical ghosts, and the warfare is won.Permanent ICU Fortress locked. (Final explosive guitar smash and sudden dead silence)
