[Intro — camera clicks, room noise] Don’t smile. That’s how people look right before they lie. [Hook — low, distorted] Love through my lens look dangerous Zoom too close, see what the damage was You call it distance, I call it angles Everybody beautiful till the frame change Flash hit—now the truth exposed Red eyes show where the demon go I don’t take pictures to remember shit I take ’em ’cause people switch [Verse 1] Caught your lie in 4K Wrong reflection in the doorway You said home, but your eyes said run Love got two faces—I shot both ones Don’t pose, I know that stance That’s “I love you” with an exit plan You hold my hand like evidence Then wipe your prints when the feeling end My ex still live in the camera roll Dead relationship, digital ghost Delete the picture, keep the code Pain got backups I don’t control You want flowers, I brought facts You want trust, I want timestamps You say healing takes time I watched time make people change fast [Hook] Love through my lens look dangerous Zoom too close, see what the damage was You call it distance, I call it angles Everybody beautiful till the frame change Flash hit—now the truth exposed Red eyes show where the demon go I don’t take pictures to remember shit I take ’em ’cause people switch [Verse 2 — DC Go-Go pocket] Wind me up, I been wound tight Love beat wrong, but it sound right Congas knock like somebody outside Heart got rhythm—mine don’t keep time Backyard pocket, front-door problems You brought love—I brought precautions You say dance, I watch your feet Everybody step when the floor get weak Beat my feet around commitment You call it fear—I call it instinct Seen forever turn “who is this?” Same mouth kiss, then dismiss DC taught me read that room Know who leaving before they move You looked good under blue light But bug zappers look pretty too Hold up—don’t stop that beat Love got hands, put ’em on me I survived everything that hugged me So forgive me if touch don’t comfort me [Break — whispered female voice] Why do you keep watching me? [male vocals] Because everybody looks innocent before the picture develops. [Verse 3 — distorted 808] Darkroom—red light Your shadow got a night life You swear you mine in the daytime Night fall, now the frame lie I got abandonment in HD Every goodbye still replaying You see a man being distant I see a boy still waiting Mama left, love left House empty, one breath TV loud so the walls talk Still heard silence through all that Now you want inside my head? Hard-hat zone, shit still wrecked You might love what I’m building But can you live where the floor ain’t set? I ain’t toxic—I’m documented Every scar got a date connected Every “forever” came with edits Every angel had bad reception So love me raw, no correction No soft light, no misdirection If you leave, face the lens I need proof of how this ends [Final Hook — heavy, layered] Love through my lens look dangerous Zoom too close, see what the damage was You call it distance, I call it angles Everybody beautiful till the frame change Flash hit—now the truth exposed Red eyes show where the demon go I don’t take pictures to remember shit I take ’em ’cause people switch [Outro — camera powers down] She asked why I never get in the picture. Because somebody gotta see it coming.
