[introduction no beat just spoken words] [male voice] you stayed. — [female voice] you missed the point — [record scratches and a piano slowly play, male voice] sit down. this time pay attention. — [female voice] because the funny thing is…you still wasn’t listening] [beat drops and music starts playing] [verse 1 male voice] I used to shout just to feel the room shake Now I talk low, let the truth vibrate Said it plain, didn’t dress the pain If you missed that part, that’s not my weight Let’s get it straight, I’m done translating You saw the signs, I wasn’t hiding Put your faith where you place your eyes I set my path, let yours decide [record scratches and stops] [female voice] You thought it was a monologue But this was always dialogue I walk the shadows, logging sins inside a catalogue You never saw the Wraith Now I’m your epilogue I slip through shadows, grin in the gloom Sparks in my veins like an electric perfume Tempt the edges, watch the night ignite Laugh with the chaos, we’re born of the night [chorus female voice] You wasn’t listening, now you know Every sweet word died in your throat Call it karma, call it fate I smiled while you sealed your fate You wasn’t listening, that’s the cost Everything you loved, you lost No lies left, no amend Enjoy the quiet at the end [verse 2 male voice] Yeah, I told you, wasn’t listening Giving you the christening, baptized in chaos Think it’s sickening, think it’s crippling? I’m just positioning, making my stars glisten Hope you’re witnessing the chiseling of my foundations See the sheep fidgeting, shifting, hesitation— ‘Cause you don’t wanna see Wraith come down for visitation [female voice] Slip through the cracks, watch your world shake Laugh in the shadows, see the rules break Sparks in your veins, I’m the thrill you crave Dancing on chaos, I’m the tide and the wave Twirl your firecracker, darling, I’ll catch the sparks Whispered secrets hiding in your darkened marks Arcane tricks, I trace your ghostly trail Chaos follows us, but I never fail [bridge male voice, rap] Are you listening yet? Or still chasing shadows in your head? I laid it all out, the fire and the threat Did you catch the sparks, or are you misled? I could spell it twice, I could whisper slow But maybe chaos has a pace you’ll never know Step closer, darling, feel the energy shift The night is ours, now take your gift [chorus female voice] You wasn’t listening, now you know Every sweet word died in your throat Call it karma, call it fate I smiled while you sealed your fate You wasn’t listening, that’s the cost Everything you loved, you lost No lies left, no amend Enjoy the quiet at the end [verse 3, female voice, male ad libs] You thought I’d vanish, but I’m still here Whispered in your shadows, only you can hear Every flicker bends to the shape I claim You wasn’t listening… now you know my name [male voice] (soft ad-libs, playful, layered under her lines): Yeah… that’s right… You see it now… [female voice] Sparks ignite, fire trails in my wake Dancing in chaos, bending every mistake I’m the tide that pulls, the twist you can’t resist Chaos is my kingdom… and I exist [make voice] (brief ad-libs, echoing or chuckling): Can’t escape… Thought you could… [female voice] (melodic outro tying into chorus): You wasn’t listening… I said it slow You wasn’t listening… now you know Chaos follows us, I’m the spark and the flame You wasn’t listening… remember my name
