[Intro] [Instrumental: Creepy music box, slow mechanical drum beat, heavy breathing] [Vocal: Spoken, sinister whisper, vocal fry] You looked me in the eyes... Said it was nothing. Just a pretty little lie. [Verse 1] [Style: Cold industrial bassline, sparse mechanical beat] [Vocal: Staccato delivery, creepy, close to mic] You had a thousand plastic reasons ready, And I swallowed them... every single one. You said you were lost, a weak little lamb, Said it wasn’t about me. Funny how your holy excuses Still left a rotting crack inside of you. [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up: Distorted synth swelling, snare drum rolling] I didn’t interrupt... I let you bleed your truth. But the silence is a sickness, Remembering what your tongue refused. [Chorus] [Explosion: Filthy distorted guitars, smashing cymbals, wall of sound] [Vocal: Aggressive, screaming, cynical] I forgave you, yeah, I wore the smile! Don’t confuse the cross with forgetting the trial! Love gouged my eyes out for a while, But my cold heart knows exactly what it saw! I forgave you, played the plastic saint, Chose the poison over walking out! But even when I crush your hand in mine... There’s a part of me that never forgets the crime! [Verse 2] [Drop: Back to creeping bass, dissonant guitar feedback] [Vocal: Raspy, mocking tone] You cried like a victim, first time in the dirt, Like regret suddenly learned how to hurt. Promised me forever, a fake little vow, I nodded... like I had a choice anyhow. They say forgiveness sews up the skin... But nobody tells you the scar is the shape of your sin. [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up: Tense, repetitive industrial rhythm] I don’t bring it up... I don’t replay the scene. But my heart learned a secret That my mouth will never scream. [Chorus] [Maximum Energy: Chaotic industrial metal, heavy distortion] [Vocal: Pushed to the extreme, layered screams] I forgave you, yeah, I wore the smile! Don’t confuse the cross with forgetting the trial! Love gouged my eyes out for a while, But my cold heart knows exactly what it saw! [Bridge] [Breakdown: Only a heavy heartbeat kick drum and distorted whispers] Maybe love isn’t blind forever... Maybe it just loves the dark. Maybe staying is the sickest thing... Loves the teeth, loves the bite, loves the mark. We are so sick. [Final Chorus] [Grandiose, apocalyptic wall of sound] I forgave you, not myself! For believing the rot wouldn't smell this long! I forgave you, not the demons That whisper when the night goes wrong! Love made me blind, yeah, that’s the price, But now I see with open eyes! I’m still here… I still love the pain… But I’ll never love the same way twice! [Outro] [Music abruptly stops. Only a mechanical hum remains] [Vocal: Low, dry whisper, directly in the ear] Forgiveness isn’t forgetting. It’s remembering... And choosing the torture anyway. [End]
