[Intro – immediate, no build | breathing + whisper layered] Don’t— Don’t do that… Don’t say it like that. …you know what that does. [Verse 1 – tight, unraveling] I was doing fine — I swear I was fine Kept it all neat, kept it all inside Counted to ten like they tell you to Funny how that never works on you You press, then smile like it’s harmless Like you don’t see what the cost is Like I won’t cross that line you drew Like I don’t want to [Pre-Chorus – rising, fractured phrasing] Stop— Just stop talking Give me a second to breathe No— Don’t say my name like that Not like you know me [Chorus – explosive, unstable rhythm] Don’t make me prove it Don’t make me show you what I’ve been holding back I kept it buried, chained and quiet You keep digging — now it’s coming up fast Don’t make me prove it You don’t want this version looking at you I tried to be something human You keep reminding me I’m not supposed to [Verse 2 – colder, slipping] There’s a switch somewhere — I feel it move Every word you say just tightens the screws You call it anger — that’s not it This is something I don’t control when it hits You ever watch something break in real time? Hear the difference in the voice when it’s not mine? That’s where I’m at — right there on the edge Say one more thing… go ahead [Pre-Chorus – quieter, more dangerous] I’m asking nice That should scare you more [Chorus – heavier, less controlled] Don’t make me prove it Don’t make me turn this into something you regret You think it’s bluffing — it isn’t nothing It just hasn’t happened yet Don’t make me prove it I’m running out of ways to stay contained You keep pulling on the wire You’re gonna watch it snap in your face [Bridge – breakdown, almost talking to self] Okay… okay… okay… We’re still good — we’re still good — we’re still— No we’re not. You hear that? That’s the part they told me wasn’t real That’s the part I buried …you just brought it back HEY HEY you just brought it back [Breakdown – chaotic, rhythmic punches] Say it Say it Say it again Push me Push me See where it ends You want a reaction? You’re getting one [Final Chorus – full psychotic release] DON’T MAKE ME PROVE IT I TRIED TO HOLD IT — YOU WOULDN’T LET IT DIE NOW IT’S WIDE OPEN — NO CONTROL LEFT LOOK ME IN THE EYES DON’T MAKE ME PROVE IT THIS IS THE VERSION YOU BUILT FROM SCRATCH YOU WANTED SOMETHING REAL? YOU GOT IT — NOW YOU CAN’T TAKE IT BACK [Outro – quiet, disturbing calm] …there it is. That’s what you wanted, right?
