[Intro - Melodic Female Vocals] Static in the room, yeah, the air is getting heavy, Moody little hum over chords so edgy. Twin flames flicker in a house that’s gone cold, Shadow on the wall where the love used to glo. (Hmm-mm, mm-mm, yeah) (Hmm-mm, mm-mm, yeah) [Verse 1 - Rap] Static in the room, yeah, the pressure gettin’ deadly, Built a dam out of promises, it flooded when it met me. Twin flames turn to smoke, now the ceiling lookin’ empty, We were royalty in ruins, now the throne lookin’ petty. You stare through my soul like the glass too clear, Sell me every dream while I slowly disappear. Keep a crowded table, left a ghost in my chair, Turned our solid gold into plastic in the air. Same routine, same script, same scene, You choreograph the chaos, call it love to me, but I’m a bitch or your single?. Twist up all the truth, redraw our whole map, I’m losin’ all direction tryna find my way back. [Chorus - Melodic Female Vocals] (The beat drops into a heavy, slow, gritty hip-hop groove. High melody, full of hurt.) We’re dancing in the dark to a song we both hate, Spitting fire at the mirror, calling it fate. You look but you don’t see, You listen but don’t hear, Why do you choose everybody else When I’m standing right here? We’re dancing in the dark to a song we both hate, Spitting fire at the mirror, calling it fate. You look but you don’t see, You listen but don’t hear, Why do you choose everybody else When I’m standing right here? [Verse 2 - Rap] (Beat gets more aggressive, hi-hats stuttering, delivery is faster and more frustrated.) Caught up in the crossfire, I’m stuck in your loop, You jump through the hoops just to tighten my noose. Said it was divine, some cosmic design, But you blur every border, cross every line. Every word you whisper got a venomous drip, Every single argument another cut in my ribs. You chase a whores grace , never check on the scars, Sleepin’ next to danger while I’m prayin’ to the stars. I’m sick of this production, sick of your compilation , Pretty painted frame hide an image obscene. You won’t hear my song till I’m gone from your track, Suitcase in my hand, never lookin’ right back. [Chorus - Melodic Female Vocals] We’re dancing in the dark to a song we both hate, Spitting fire at the mirror, calling it fate. You look but you don’t see, You listen but don’t hear, Why do you choose everybody else When I’m standing right here? We’re dancing in the dark to a song we both hate, Spitting fire at the mirror, calling it fate. You look but you don’t see, You listen but don’t hear, Why do you choose everybody else When I’m standing right here? [Bridge] (Beat drops out. Just a cold, echoing piano chord. Raw, spoken-word pacing.) Can two souls ever match if you refuse to see? You dig through broken omens while you’re overlooking me. You say that we’re reflections, but you fracture every view, Now the only thing I mirror is the damage done by you. I held the matches while you overfed the fire, Tired of bein’ the body in the war of your desire. You traded our forever for a pair of borrowed eyes, And buried what we had in a mountain of your lies. (Vocal shifts to a high, melodic, desperate belt as a heavy sub-bass swells underneath) (A split second of absolute silence—a sharp, dramatic intake of breath—then the beat slams back in) [Chorus - Melodic Female Vocals] We’re dancing in the dark to a song we both hate, Spitting fire at the mirror, calling it fate. You look but you don’t see, You listen but don’t hear, Why do you choose everybody else When I’m standing right here? We’re dancing in the dark to a song we both hate, Spitting fire at the mirror, calling it fate. You look but you don’t see, You listen but don’t hear, Why do you choose everybody else When I’m standing right here? [Outro] (The rap beat fades out, leaving just the gritty guitar and the melodic vocals echoing.) Same song, same dance, same tear, You never gave our love a real chance here. Same song, same dance, so near, I was screaming out your name, but you never came clear. (Hmm-mm, mm-mm, yeah) (Hmm-mm, mm-mm, yeah)
