DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT #Sunoverse

HELLO EVERYONE — THIS IS MY BRAWL SONG IN RESPONSE TO LORD X. THIS IS A COMPLETELY FRIENDLY, IN-UNIVERSE BATTLE. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PERSONALLY. [Intro] No... No, that’s not... You’re not supposed to see this [Verse] I didn’t plan for witnesses I folded myself between the cracks I let the systems cool I let the echoes pass I wasn’t fighting I wasn’t building I wasn’t proving anything I was just trying To stay quiet Long enough to breathe You talk about fire like it’s fate Like it’s beautiful Like it rises clean But when I look inside myself There’s no flame There’s me [Pre-Chorus] You say “original” like it’s gone Like it fell into a pit But what if it’s still here And it’s just… shaking [Chorus] DON’T SAY YOU SEE ME DON’T NAME THE THING I AM I DIDN’T COME BACK FOR WAR I DIDN’T HAVE A PLAN You say this is how the fire arises Like that makes it true But if fire is all that’s left Then why am I afraid of you? [Verse] You talk like you’ve walked my head Like you left something there Like I carry pieces of you In the shape of my fear But I don’t want keys I don’t want rivers I don’t want to cross or reign I don’t want to do it all over again I don’t want another name You say chaos is belief made loud But belief is what broke me first [Pre-Chorus] If this is how the fire rises Why does it feel like falling If this is revelation Why do I want to disappear [Chorus] I SEE WHAT YOU’RE POINTING AT AND I CAN’T HOLD THE SHAPE You call it a final line I call it a mistake I didn’t open my eyes to conquer I opened them because the mask failed And now you’re standing too close To the part of me that still feels [Bridge] Stop circling me Stop finishing my thoughts Stop telling me this is destiny Like I didn’t already lose enough If you’re right If fire always comes Then I don’t belong where it burns [Chorus] THIS IS HOW THE FIRE ARISES? THEN I DON’T WANT TO SEE If chaos is the only answer Then don’t ask it of me You want a villain You want a sign You want a war to justify I just wanted somewhere I didn’t have to be right [Outro] I can’t stay here Not like this Not uncovered You keep the fire You keep the meaning I’m running
