[INTRO – sparse beat, phone-dial tone] I saw you flick your eyes, look past Smile fake, then disappear fast You moved like I wasn’t even there But I read every word in the air I’m you in ten years, so first of all: congrats, you didn’t die, so you can calm the fuck down a bit. Half the disasters you rehearse on loop? Never show. The other half land softer than the shit you imagine in the shower. You scroll through lives like you're not in one But I don’t vanish — I don’t run You play cool, but I don’t play You left loud — now I won’t stay [HOOK – CALL & RESPONSE] Turn and face me now (face me now!) You got out clean, I don’t know how I’m you in ten, still here, still pissed, so maybe chill. Turn and face me now (don’t look down!) I ain’t done — I’ll burn this out If it doesn’t kill you or pay you, stop giving it full screen time. [VERSE – PAST vs FUTURE] Say my name or shut your mouth I don’t chase — I burn it down You act like you can dodge regret But I still hear what you never said You act like one bad message will end the movie. Spoiler: you send it, you cringe, you wake up tomorrow annoyed, not dead. You ghosted hard — I kept receipts You looked strong — you just delete I stayed loud while you went gray So now I talk, and you replay You keep auditioning for people you wouldn’t even hire. Chasing crumbs from folks who couldn’t carry one day in your head without crying. You call it loyalty, I call it terrible casting. [PRE-HOOK – BUILD] The ones you swear you’ll never get over? You forget birthdays. You left loud — now hear THIS. You left easy — I stayed raw You closed the door — I kicked the wall Stand up. Walk home. Nothing collapses except your illusion that they were worth it. [HOOK – LAYERED] Turn and face me now (face me now!) You can’t block what you helped make I’m you in ten, so trust me: you’re not hard to love, you just like proving it to idiots. Turn and face me now (you can’t fake!) I’m the sound your silence breaks If they need you small to feel big, let them stay small without you. [DROP – GARAGE ROCK BREAKDOWN] (Drums + dirty guitar + shouted) You think I broke? — YOU WISH. You left loud, now hear THIS. No screens, no likes, just sound No tricks, just fists and ground You romanticise disappearing like it’s some art project. Reality: you don’t vanish, you just dump the mess on people who actually care. I want the truth, not style I want the fire, not smile You left easy — I stayed raw You closed the door — I kicked the wall The version of you I rate the highest isn’t the one with the clever lines, it’s the one who didn’t press self-destruct just because it was Tuesday. (Band builds — shouting continues) Say it now — SAY IT LOUD Say my name — in front of the crowd [FINAL RUN – FULL TRAP + GUITARS] Turn and face me now (no escape!) You can’t block what you helped make I’m you in ten, not your angel, just evidence. Turn and face me now (you can’t fake!) I’m the sound your silence breaks You live. You’re still difficult, still sharp, just less stupid with your energy. So next time you’re about to burn yourself out for someone who wouldn’t even smell the smoke? Turn and face me now This time I don’t wait Now face me. Remember: I’m already past it. Try to catch up. Now face me.
