Polished-Face Tape

CUSTOM

I keep my hands where you can see Nice and still, don’t look at me Polished face, but underneath Something’s learning how to breathe Little cracks, don’t make a sound Tape it up, just turn around If you ask, I’ll say I’m fine I’ve been saying that for time ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Don’t turn me— Don’t turn me— ⸻ [Chorus – BIG, catchy] I’m still waving like I’m okay Even when it starts to break If you look, don’t look too long Something here is feeling wrong I’m still smiling through the glass Trying not to let it pass If you see it, look away I’m still waving… anyway ⸻ [Verse 2 – shift begins] Pressure building in the suit Hear it talking when I’m mute Every move it copies me But it’s not the same thing Paint is dripping down my spine Something else is drawing lines Tried to keep it all contained Now it’s learning how to say my name ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Don’t turn me— Don’t turn me— Don’t— ⸻ [Chorus – louder, more chaotic] I’m still waving like I’m okay Even when I peel away If you look, don’t recognize What is growing in my eyes I’m still smiling through decay Something took my face away If you see it, run away I’m still waving… anyway ⸻ [Bridge – horror / breakdown / distorted] (beat drops, darker, whisper → scream layering) Turn me around Turn me around Turn me around You’ll see me now (It’s not me now) (It’s not me now) I learned your smile I wore it out I peeled it back I’m coming out ⸻ [Final Chorus – full corruption] I’m still waving— now you see There was never just one me Every crack was letting through Something built to look like you I’m still smiling, stitched in place But that’s not really my face If you hear me, don’t you stay I’m still waving— come this way
