[Intro: raw, spoken, low-key confident male voice, minimal beat] Yeah… They called me Roger Rabbit Guess I earned the name Always dodging all the truth While you carried all the blame [Verse 1: tight boom-bap flow, MPC groove, chopped soul sample enters] Lately I've been hearing what they say Every crooked little story that I used to slip away Smooth talker, silver-tongue ballet Made you question your own memory so my secrets never strayed You found the problem, it was me the whole time You weren't losing your mind You were reading every sign I tried to hide behind these lines Non-committal, lady-killer, crown and throne Walked into your life like heaven called me on the phone Endless messages and sweet melodies on loan Stole your heart then vanished soon as you got close to bone It wasn't some shattered dream you couldn't find It was a blueprint of a lie that I designed You were right and I was wrong every time Just a devil doing dress rehearsal, selling angel lines [Pre-Chorus: layered vocals, building tension, slight reverb] I kept sliding every piece like chess without a name But every woman I deceived started whispering the same [Chorus: anthemic, catchy, high-pitched airy vocal layer, wide reverb, repetitive hook] Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, there's nowhere left to go Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, everybody knows I can run but the truth runs faster I can hide but I built this disaster Pay my dues now, yeah my time has come Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, no place left to run [Verse 2: darker tone, flow gets more aggressive, drums hit harder] Master class at rewriting what you saw You asked me who she was, I said you're reaching, find a flaw That pretty thing pirouetting through the club I sang with all my chest while my eyes were making love Was it Aurora? Was it Eve? Who was she? I said "just a friend" like that could kill what you could see But she wasn't first and she was far from number three Lost count of all the ghosts before you lost your faith in me How did I juggle a double life? Stacking hearts like poker chips while a queen sat by my side Hid the ring then left you on read Threw you under every bus to keep the blood off of my hands Red flags weren't whispers, they were screaming in your face But every time you spoke the truth I made you feel insane Called you crazy when you had the case Painted you the villain so the jury looked away But you flipped the script better than I ever planned Stopped begging for confessions, put receipts in every hand [Pre-Chorus: stripped back, tension building] I thought the charm was bulletproof, it saved me every time But the halo finally cracked and they saw what hid behind [Chorus: full energy, layered vocals, hook hits hard] Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, there's nowhere left to go Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, everybody knows I can run but the truth runs faster I can hide but I built this disaster Pay my dues now, yeah my time has come Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, no place left to run [Bridge: stripped drums, piano only, vulnerable delivery, slower tempo] Ego's limping but the room went cold Every heart I spent is finally keeping score You were karma's wild card I couldn't fold Thought you'd shatter quiet but you broke my door Hell hath no fury? Nah it wasn't rage It was every buried truth escaping from the cage I called you bitter, called you cruel and strange But you were never villain, I was jester on the stage Throne is empty and the queen is gone Traded something breathing for applause that don't last long [Final Chorus: full power, all layers, cinematic drums, choir-like backing] Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, there's nowhere left to go Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, now the whole world knows I can run but my past runs faster Every lie became another chapter in disaster Pay my dues now, the universe has come Roger Rabbit, Roger Rabbit, no place left to run [Outro: confessional, stripped to vocal and bass, intimate close-mic delivery] Time's up, universe came to collect Every promise that I shattered, every heart I wrecked You asked if conscience eats me alive It does every night, now there's nowhere left to hide You weren't crazy, you were right on time I was the sinner selling halos on the side No angel, no celestial disguise Just Roger Rabbit, a devil dressed in lies
