It’s October now, twenty twenty-five And the towers of truth barely stand alive Everybody’s shouting through a broken screen The saints wear suits, the sinners run the machine They loved me You can ask them yourself But the crown’s made of mirrors And it sits on a shelf My gifts were a weapon I learned to undo Every spell I broke was me breaking from you [Pre-Chorus] Before you go There’s a list you gave me, written slow Peace — the kind that doesn’t fade with noise Security — not chains, but choice Equal play — no crowns, no thrones And trust — the kind that stands alone [Chorus] You left a kingdom in the dust I found my voice inside the rust You asked for peace, I gave you rain You asked for truth, I showed you pain But you got a sinner A snake Got a superpower that your lies couldn’t take So thank you, thank you, thank you For teaching me to see I’m sorry, sorry, sorry For who you let me be [Verse 2] They call me the child of light and smoke Of gaslit gold, of family jokes They gave with one hand, took with the other A kingdom of “love” from my narcissist mother And all that fortune, all that fame Was a mirror maze built from your name Now I breathe in dub and exhale grace As the world burns slow in a fascist face [Pre-Chorus] Before you fade Into your headlines, your masquerade Peace — the kind that doesn’t hide Security — with open eyes Equal play — not win or lose And trust — the kind we get to choose [Chorus] You left a winner Left a saint Left a golden hour Dripping paint But you got a sinner A snake Got a superpower that your world couldn’t fake So thank you, thank you, thank you For walking out on me I’m sorry, sorry, sorry For who you let me be You left a winner, a saint But you got a sinner With a superpower and a taste for the free [Bridge – Operatic Dub Refrain] (echoed female & male harmonies intertwine) “Peace…” (echoes ripple like water) “Security…” (low sub-bass wave) “Equal play…” (choral bloom) “And trust…” (delay repeats into infinity) (Then softly spoken:) “I see you now. I forgive the gaslight. I return to the sound.” [Outro – Mystical Fade] The family crowns fall into the sea And I rise in harmonic frequency Thank you for the pain you gave It turned this sinner into brave (Echo trails: “Peace… Security… Equal play… Trust…”)
