Flanged guitar upstrokes.] [Female G3–D5, commanding chest voice, clipped consonants, abrupt pitch jumps, descending phrases, restrained melisma] A forbidden—ZONE! (Zone!) Blinded by your—GLOW! (Glow!) Like walking... On a bed of knives! Running away— Frightened that... You're too perfect! Afraid I'll SNAP! The way you look... The way you LOOK at me! A terrifying— DREAM! [PRE-CHORUS — RISING TENSION] [Syncopated tom rolls, open-hat accents, ascending synth, piano stabs.

[VERSE 2 — TENSE, HYPNOTIC] [Relentless bass ostinato, muted guitar scratches, offbeat hi-hats, horror piano.] [Female G3–D5, staccato phrasing, sudden register jumps, crisp enunciation, whispered interjections] I keep on erasing— Drawing lines in my MIND! I'm BLIND! "I love you"— That phrase is a LIE! I tell myself... I'm a MONSTER! In a dress! Hidden— Is the love potion! I'm drowning... Drowning in BLUE! Stirring up PURPLE— When I'm with YOU! I wanna trust... Trust in YOU? STOP! I'm the VICTIM! The CULPRIT! The KILLER! (Hah—ha—HAA!)

[BRIDGE — HALF-TIME, HAUNTING] [Half-time drums, distant tom heartbeat, reverberant piano, detuned guitar swells, analog delay.] [Female G3–C5, fragile breathiness becoming commanding chest resonance, trembling vibrato] Even when... I'm FALLING... You're all... I NEED... So I'll BREAK— The promise... Before... It's TOO LATE!

Yeah! SCARED—to OPEN UP! Love is POISON! I can't TAKE it anymore! I'm afraid— Of the WAY I LOVE! Way I love! I LOOOOVE! Is to PUSH— YOU AWAY! (Scared to love!) [OUTRO — DECAY] [Drums abruptly stop. Detuned guitar repeats through analog delay. Dissonant piano, fading bass.] [Female whisper G3–A3, breathy, trembling, intimate] Scared... to love... Maybe... I'm already in too deep.
