New Persona! <3 **Lyrics and lyric/song structure written and created by π» GHOST π»** [intro haunting piano + eerie synth pad + distorted ambient voices, claustrophobic, surreal, like a descent into memory] [verse 1 breathy female vocals + gritty bass undercurrent] i bit my tongue just to keep you calm you kissed my wounds like you meant no harm but every word was a loaded gun and i stayed still so you'd think you won you dressed your guilt in pretty lines called it love while you crossed the line fed me shame like sacred wine and i drank deep just to feel divine [pre-chorus + tension] but now the silence screams so loud you built me up just to break me down [chorus explosive distorted guitars + soaring vocals + cinematic drums] iβm not drowning, iβm descending fuck your love, itβs condescending you called me weak, but here i stand with blood you prayed would stain my hands your poison prayers wonβt hold me under iβm not your saint, iβm not your thunder i wonβt stay bruised just to be clever, you tried to end me, now iβm louder [verse 2 deeper vocals + pulsing synth + echo fx] you held control like a crucifix used my hurt to get your fix every tear, a price you named and every scar, a mark you claimed i searched for warmth inside your cold bent my truth to fit your mold but i remember how you lied and all the parts of me that died [bridge glitchy stabs + whisper-scream vocals + detuned piano] you wore my fear like it made you whole fed your ego what you stole you want me silent, want me tame but iβve reclaimed my fucking name [final chorus half-time intro return + full instrumentation + layered scream harmonies] iβm not drowning, iβm descending burned your lies and stopped pretending you built a cage and called it peace but i broke out and found release your poison prayers wonβt pull me under iβm not your ghost, iβm not your wonder watch me rise through all you fractured, you tried to end me, now iβm louder [outro ambient feedback]
