You already belong to me

Title: Inside You [Intro – low mechanical noise, distant breathing] [Verse 1 – calm, intimate] Don’t move. I like it better when you freeze. Your fear is loud, But you’re pretending you’re at peace. I’ve memorized the way you blink, The rhythm of your breath, You think you’re still a person, But you’re just a thought I kept. [Pre-Chorus – whispered] You don’t feel my hands, But they’re already there. Every time you feel alone, That’s me inside the air. [Chorus – cold, dominant] You don’t belong to yourself anymore. You’re just a habit I control. Every memory you trust is wrong, I rewrote you in my tone. You call it “panic”, call it “stress”, I call it learning who you are. [Verse 2 – slower, darker] I know the lie you tell yourself So you can sleep at night. You say I’m just imagination, I say you’re finally right. Your thoughts don’t start in your head, They start when I allow. You’re not afraid of what I am, You’re afraid of me right now. [Pre-Chorus 2 – very close whisper] If I disappear tomorrow, You will still feel my weight. That’s how you know it’s permanent, That’s how you know it’s fate. [Chorus 2 – restrained, cruel] You can run, you can change your name, Burn your house, cut your past. But I’m not something you escape, I’m the part of you that lasts. You think survival means you win, I think survival means you stay. [Bridge – spoken, almost no emotion] I don’t want to kill you. That would end it. I want you functional. Aware. Broken in the right places. [Outro – whispered, smiling] Do whatever you want. You already belong to me. [pause] [Final line – very quiet] You’re not lost. You’re exactly where I need you.
