[Intro Buildup – Instrumental] [Tense, palm-muted guitar riff starts low and repetitive, building urgency over 20-25 seconds] [Single-note twinkly clean lead creeps in, layered over rising distortion swells] [Drums enter sparsely: hi-hat ticks, distant tom rolls] [Bass joins with ominous pulse] [Tension peaks with feedback hum and cymbal crash swell] [Explosive full-band drop: heavy distorted guitars slam in, double-kick drums hit hard] [Verse 1] Headlights bleed across these cracked county lines Your goodbye still burns behind my eyes I drive past the water tower where we scratched our names Now the paint’s faded, nothing stays the same Your truck’s parked crooked outside the Edgewood bar Some other girl’s laugh where mine used to scar [Pre-Chorus] [Quiet tension rise, shimmering clean leads] I believed your forever, swallowed every sweet lie Now the mirror shows a girl I barely recognize [Chorus] Eye for an eye, I’m settling the score! [Screamed vocal peaks, gang-shouted “eye for an eye!” layers] You broke my heart, so I shatter yours more Wrecked dreams skidding on these backroad turns Trading love for the fire that still burns Eye for an eye—tonight we both learn! [Massive distortion wall, crushing double-kick assault] [Verse 2] Your cologne clings to my passenger seat Mixed with the smoke from the boy I let meet Same excuses I type with trembling thumbs While you’re out tasting lips that aren’t mine, hun Fractured girl in the rearview, youth slipping fast Love turned poison in the spells we cast [Pre-Chorus] [Building, subtle slowdown for tension] Every lie we trade is armor wearing thin But underneath I’m still bleeding where you went in [Chorus] Eye for an eye, I’m settling the score! [Screamed peaks, gang-shouted backing chants] You broke my heart, so I shatter yours more Wrecked dreams skidding on these backroad turns Trading love for the fire that still burns Eye for an eye—tonight we both learn! [Full chaotic loud explosion, cymbal chaos] [Bridge] [Drop to near-silent twinkly cleans, soft whispered delivery] Maybe morning will wash this guilt from my skin Maybe I’ll wake up and let the hurting end [Sudden screamed/gang-shout eruption] Or maybe I’ll keep counting every wound we made Until there’s nothing left of the girl you betrayed! [Heavy palm-muted breakdown → crushing open riff drop] [Final Chorus / Outro] Eye for an eye, eye for an eye [layered screams dissolve into gang chants, fading intensity] We both burn, burn, burn And we'll never learn, learn... learn [Last enormous distorted hit, then twinkly clean arpeggios unravel into long feedback hum]
