The Frame You're In (@druidkazoos2909 & @anisunoai73)

[Intro] [A smooth, clean electric guitar plays a melancholic, looping melody. A slow, laid-back R&B beat with a soft snare and deep kick drum fades in. The stage is dimly lit, focusing on The Wanderer and the small, pathetic Humbug who was once the Wizard.] [Verse 1] [The Wanderer - vocals are soulful, smooth, and full of a sad, clear-eyed wisdom] You sold a world that felt so real A perfect, beautiful appeal Your Emerald City, dressed to thrill The fakeness that you sell Was hidden well [Verse 2] Your promises, a charming game Before you turned and brought the pain Your twisted logic, meant to gaslight Smiles hiding spite in dazzling light You flirted with us to disguise Your web of calculated lies [Chorus] [The Wanderer - her voice swells with emotion and pity] What made you this way? Who hurt you? 'Cause it wasn't me But they must be all you see You're living life afraid Of ever being betrayed [Bridge] Oh baby, give it up This lashing out in pain It solves nothing It won't make the ghosts go away You build your walls up high And then you wonder why Your world is just a cage of your design [Final Chorus] [The Wanderer - her voice is a final, direct plea] I'm not the same Don't put me in that frame Can't you see we're not your past come back again? Get yourself some help before your story fades away Before you're just a whisper in the rain [Outro] [The electric guitar melody continues its loop, joined by a soft, sorrowful synth pad. The Wanderer turns and walks away from the Humbug, leaving him alone in the spotlight.] [The Wanderer - whispering as she exits] It wasn't me... You're living life afraid... [The guitar loop and the beat slowly fade to silence.] [End]
