Title: ā€œErratic Gal in a Matchstick Mazeā€ [intro] Can you spare some time, During which I shall opine, What it's like inside my brain, And why you'll find me quirky, not insane. [Verse 1] Have you ever felt, the Wi-Fi arc inside your skull? Bits flip or glitch; that inner you can't trust the signal. Psych says I’m overclocked, title wave in lowercase, Told me, ā€œbreathe-relax hon,ā€ but that dial’s stuck on 'erase.' I’m the bug in the structure of my own machine, Click-clunk thoughts like a waking dream scream, Spinning in cycles, trying to code 'round the defects, Oops, another manic masterpiece. Doesn't feel perfect. [Pre-Chorus] He asked, ā€œMiss, why are you chasing every single phantom glitch?ā€ ā€œā€™Cause calm feels so damn boring, and I’m just that kind of Bitch.ā€ [Chorus] I’m an erratic gal in a matchstick maze, Stretch, snap, light myself ablaze. A laugh behind the smokeā€”ā€œYou OK, whore?ā€ 네, ė‚œ ź“œģ°®ģ•„, pile on some more. Deadlines and details, lace and crazed rage, Folding my chaos in an emulsive marriage. I’m an erratic gal in a matchstick maze— Watch me react, until I blaze. [Verse 2] Critic commented ā€œYou can't use ā€˜whore’ in a song,ā€ But it rhymes with 'encore', so guess who proved her wrong? My dopamine’s a DJ, in a basement of my brain, Scratching vinyl moments that skip on my odd terrain. Therapist takes notes—says, ā€œMiss, that’s quite a storm,ā€ I tip her with a pun; she defers - true to form. ā€œDiagnosis: linguist with a reckless tongue,ā€ But everyone just sings along. [Pre-Chorus] He asked, ā€œWhy’s your ego rely upon clever ways to bait then berate?ā€ "Words are my favored weapons, and I can't own a gun in this state." [Chorus - Altered] I’m an erratic gal in a matchstick maze, Stretch, snap, light myself ablaze. A laugh through the smokeā€”ā€œYou OK, whore?ā€ 네, ė‚œ ź“œģ°®ģ•„, just pile on some more. Ideas set to page, smooth or crazed rage, Folding my chaos in an emulsive marriage. I’m an erratic gal in a matchstick maze— Watch me react, until I blaze. [Bridge – female rapid-fire rap] Syllables land like Taekwondo kicks, Punch-line physics, linguistic hat-tricks. If my life’s a bug, I’ll dodge the fly swatter, Both the heights and the dearth, beats being fodder. Self-doubt whispers? I'll never ever retreat. Worse comes to worse: Control, Alt, Delete. [Chorus – double-length finale] I’m an erratic gal in a matchstick maze, Stretch, snap, light myself ablaze. A laugh through the smokeā€”ā€œYou still okay, bitch?ā€ 네, ė‚œ ź“œģ°®ģ•„, bring it, it's just getting rich. Dreams and deadlines, drive and malaise, Folding in my chaos, teasing tired clichĆ©s— Yet they purr when I set ’em so ablaze. I’m a fantastic gal, forever dancing and unfazed— And if it all derails and fails to coalesce, Then lucky you—who'll never glimpse, that awful tangled mess. [Outro – whispered] thank you all those that spent your time listening to me rant in fun and twisted rhyme to keep you any longer that would be a crime my match is almost burnt up, this space I must resign (ė)
