[SYS:146BPM|F#Phrygian|Dark Shadow Rap] [Intro] Fool me once, shame on you, blue lights crawling through the rain Fool me twice, now your fuckin’ name still echoes in my brain Motel sink, red-cup rings, cheap neon bleeding on the tile Dead phone face-down on the dresser, footsteps in the hallway Wet pavement shining through the blinds, glass flashing red and blue Every shadow in this room keeps reminding me of you [Verse 1] You talked shit like a queen while the whole room smelled like rot Black lace underneath the neon, dancing underneath the spot Gold teeth flashing when you lied, pretty poison in your grin You poured poison in my cup, then called that fuckin’ loyalty Chrome hanging from my chest, cold weight against my skin Money can’t erase betrayal once that shit gets underneath the skin TV glow on your face, every frame looked counterfeit Fake-ass smile, fake-ass heart, fake-ass story, fake-ass shit Smoke curled across the mirror, leaving letters in the steam Your reflection kept on smiling like it knew what I had seen Hallway bulb blinked three times, then the whole damn floor went black I heard footsteps stop outside, then heard footsteps coming back Dollar sign against my chest, but diamonds never numb the pain You can buy another watch, can’t buy back trust once it’s dead Mud tracked underneath the bed, black footprints across the white Now I count the cracks above me while the ceiling won’t stay quiet [Pre-Chorus] Fool me once, I wore the stain Fool me twice, I learned your game Blue-red ghosts across the pane Say my name — watch it change [Chorus] Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, I don’t fuckin’ trust you Dead motel, neon blue Every dirty room still points back to you Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, now I see right through you Moonlight cutting through the room Whole damn night went black when I cut you loose [Verse 2] County road shining like a blade beneath the storm Rearview full of crooked memories, every one of them warped Lipstick stain around the glass, perfume buried in the smoke Every fuckin’ word you whispered was another goddamn joke Funeral roses on the leather, wilted petals on the seat Unpaid bills inside the console, cold blue numbers underneath Gold flash bouncing off the dash while the city disappears I spent too damn long confusing lust with fuckin’ fear Blunt smoke curls around the roof, purple bleeding through the dark Your old number on my screen still leaves a fuckin’ spark Bathroom fan rattles like a dying insect in the wall Stained curtain moves by itself whenever shadows cross the hall Cheap room, expensive watch, luxury rot beneath the skin All that glitter looked like heaven till the fuckin’ lights went dim I don’t need to scream your name, silence says enough Let the dead air fill the room and let the memories fuck me up You taught me pretty promises can come with hidden teeth Every kiss can carry poison, every smile can hide the grief Now the mirror holds a stranger with a grin I barely know Black glass, red light, cold eyes staring through the glow One betrayal left a fracture, the second made a scar Now I keep the door locked tight, don’t care where the fuck you are [Bridge] I gave you space inside my my head, you filled it up with fuckin’ damage I gave you smoke, I gave you light, you turned the bedroom into static I gave you every fucking inch, you learned exactly where I cracked I gave you trust without a guard, you took that trust and stabbed it back Now the mirror wears my face, but the eyes don’t look familiar Hotel Bible on the nightstand, still unopened, still untouched I don’t pray to ghosts anymore, I don’t beg the dead for answers I just watch the neon flicker while your memory finally fractures [Breakdown] You lied. I learned. You smiled. I saw it. You burned the bridge. I watched it. Fool me twice— FUCK THAT. No more calls. No more doors. No more walking through that same damn floor. [Chorus] Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, I don’t fuckin’ trust you Dead motel, neon blue Every dirty room still points back to you Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, now I see right through you Moonlight cutting through the room Whole damn night went black when I cut you loose Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, you don’t get shit from me Red-blue rain across the room Your memory burns beneath the fuckin’ moon Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, now the door stays bolted Cash can’t buy back what you put me through Whole room knows your pain— but I don’t fuckin’ owe you [Outro] Powder on the mirror, rain against the glass Cold gold on my chest, watching old ghosts pass Fool me once— shame on you. Fool me twice— fuck what we knew. The neon keeps flickering. The room stays cold. Your name fades out. Mine doesn’t. [END]
