[Verse 1] They breathe inside a world built on make-believe. A hollow, ghost-town script that I watch you weave I see the curtain unveil. I feel a frozen sadness for the skin you wear When I first looked at you, you painted a man who is scared. My first impression: frightened and bruised A wounded soul with nothing left to lose But I looked again, and the nightmare unrolled. Then your mask slipped away, and you showed me who you are And you're nothing but horrible, the thing to be feared [Chorus] You're like a monster ripping out of a playground chest Tearing through the ribs of the girl who loved you best. You made me feel alive, manufactured happiness. Then you changed before my eyes in a flash of violence. The way you switched up, the way the darkness crept in Now I'm cleaning up the wreckage of the world you caved in. [Verse 2] I'd call you a narcissist, but they hold intelligence to an extent. You're just manipulative, malicious, and spent You are a cheater, a thief in the night. A pathological liar who bled out the light. Not to mention how abusive your hands and words have been I'd be terrified for those around you, for the next victims pulled in But the house is dead quiet, and the truth makes me freeze. I forget there's a reason you're alone on your knees [Bridge] My friends have no insults to dish, and if you wanna know why? They see you as a bullet dodged, a red dot between my eyes. Like I was your next target, the next one you’d destroy. Good riddance to the nightmare you disguised as a boy. No anger left, no revenge, no need to decide. I'll let you get tangled in your own web of lies. Your mind will torment you in ways I never could. You'll reap every nightmare you planted where I stood. I give you my empathy, but compassion has died. I would never want to be in your shoes, with that rotten mind. I can't do what you do, I can't sleep with the screams. I can't bury someone alive in their dreams. [Outro] I can't hurt someone... And say it's their own damn fault I can't lock them in a cage of salt I can't do what you do No, I can't do what you do You're alone in the dark
