[Verse 1 - Builds from a quiet, ticking acoustic guitar and piano into massive, wall-of-sound with crashing drums][intimate, breathy whisper right against the microphone] I Thought we broke the script But the writers had you play with me You're So damn manipulative That You made me think I Was free. [Wall Of Sound Drums kick in][sharp, rhythmic, and emotionally frayed falsetto] And I wish that I could believe You Got better But Last time I Said that my heart just got fractured I'd Rip myself to atoms just For your attraction [Pre-chorus] I Wanna make excuses, for your Horrific behavior But Everytime you treat me like a Fucking stranger And Whenever I Left you always looked better Like When it clears up after bad weather [Chorus - Explosive, syncopated electronic beat kicks in][chillingly detached, toxic mantra, tightly layered falsetto, obsessive loop] Roll the tape, Rewrite my scenes I’m stuck in your twisted movie screen Cameras off, but They're on for me You block the exits, I can’t breathe Act one, act two, we loop again A tragic script that never ends Yeah, you’re the director, I’m the actor Playing the only role that hurt me more... Than Ever.... [Sudden, hollow silence, music box ticks] And scene. [Verse 2 - Johio Feature] I felt the laws of attraction Fell for you before I Knew I Was actin' I Gave you my Love, You Gave Me Distractions Then You hit me with the lights, camera, action. what'd you think? I'd play my role in your scene? If I were jack, you'd let me sink? Or Would I Come back? Rise From the sea? But Your actors are stacked, why do you even need me? [Pre-chorus] I Wanna make excuses, for your Horrific behavior But Everytime you treat me like a Fucking stranger And Whenever I Left you always looked better Like When it clears up after bad weather [Chorus - Explosive, syncopated electronic beat kicks in][chillingly detached, toxic mantra, tightly layered falsetto, obsessive loop] Roll the tape, Rewrite my scenes I’m stuck in your twisted movie screen Cameras off, but They're on for me You block the exits, I can’t breathe Act one, act two, we loop again A tragic script that never ends Yeah, you’re the director, I’m the actor Playing the only role that hurt me more... Than Ever.... [Sudden, hollow silence, music box ticks] And scene. [Bridge - Strip away the electronic beat entirely. It drops back down to just that lone echoing piano, and A Distorted heartbeat-like synth. Vocals: Start with a flat, numbed, almost-spoken whisper right against the microphone. As the lines progress, layer your vocals with a heavily distorted, pitched-down, female, harmony (sounding like the ex's voice in his head). You Made me stay But I don't know why You want Me in your play Every Single night. You Made Me star And Held my head up high Then Put one above me by far Every Single time. [On the final word, the music completely cuts out for one second of dead silence, followed by a piercing scream that slams directly into the final chorus] It Pierced through my heart When You Took my Fame Then Nobody Could ever love Me the Same Way... [Chorus - Explosive, syncopated electronic beat kicks in][chillingly detached, toxic mantra, tightly layered falsetto, obsessive loop] Roll the tape, Rewrite my scenes I’m stuck in your twisted movie screen Cameras off, but They're on for me You block the exits, I can’t breathe Act one, act two, we loop again A tragic script that never ends Yeah, you’re the director, I’m the actor Playing the only role that hurt me more... Than Ever.... [Sudden, hollow silence, music box ticks] And scene. [Outro - Spoken] "Okay" "And... Cut"
