[Intro: Female vocals, vulnerable, haunting] [Female vocals:] Every handshake cuts a little deeper Every promise feels like loaded dice Balancing blind, smile gets cheaper The edge calls louder every night [Verse 1: Male vocals, fast, tight rhythm] [Male vocals:] They say trust is sacred, but the rent is high Bought and sold in whispers, blink and it’s a lie Handshake like a contract written in sand Watch the waves roll in — goodbye to the plan Eyes in the back, snakes in my view Shadows in the crew playing peekaboo Every friendly face wears a twisted mask Pull the strings, fall through — collapse [Pre-Chorus: Female vocals, rising tension] [Female vocals:] I’m teetering, toes on the wire Gravity hums like a funeral choir Who’s got my back? Who’s got my neck? Faith or fraud? Can’t check [Chorus: Female vocals + Male vocals layered] Tightrope paranoia, never safe, never sure Hands shake, hearts break — who you trusting for? Tightrope paranoia, watch me walk, watch me burn Fall or fly? Either way, I never learn [Post-Chorus: Female vocals, eerie echo] [Female vocals:] Never sure... never sure... [Verse 2: Male vocals, darker tone] [Male vocals:] I’ve seen smiles with fangs in the gums Contracts inked in invisible sums Favors like landmines — step, and you’re done Balance is fiction, collapse is fun I keep receipts like rosary beads Count my mistakes as the choir bleeds Paranoia’s not illness — it’s clarity Trust no one. Bare sincerity. [Pre-Chorus: Female vocals, more desperate] [Female vocals:] Every word’s a coin spinning mid-air Every hug’s a gamble I barely dare Glass floors cracking under my feet The void hums like it’s calling me [Chorus: Female vocals + Male vocals layered] Tightrope paranoia, never safe, never sure Hands shake, hearts break — who you trusting for? Tightrope paranoia, watch me walk, watch me burn Fall or fly? Either way, I never learn [Bridge: Male vocals, spoken word over stripped beat] [Male vocals:] Trust is a mirror — keep shattering for reflection Every shard cuts deeper Still, we stare Because we’re addicted to seeing ourselves fall [Hook: Female vocals, building intensity] Balancing blind, smiling wide Edge beneath, nowhere to hide Balancing blind, smiling wide The edge was mine before the slide [Break: Instrumental — ska guitars, eerie synths, cello swells, trap drums minimal] [Chorus: Female vocals + Male vocals layered, climactic] Tightrope paranoia, never safe, never sure Hands shake, hearts break — who you trusting for? Tightrope paranoia, watch me walk, watch me burn Fall or fly? Either way, I never learn [Outro: Female vocals, whispered] [Female vocals:] I never learn... I never learn... [Male vocals, echo] Fall or fly… fall or fly… [Fade Out: Layered ambient synths and distant heartbeat drums]
