[Mood: Dark] [Energy: High] [Atmosphere: Cold, ancient, survival] [Intro | accordion bass loop | 808 sub hits | sparse hi-hats | no vocal | cinematic string stab] [Instrumental] [Verse 1 | Vocal: rap | deep cold delivery | flat affect | no performative energy | dry mix] Two hundred years and I don't leave a trace I don't raise my voice, I don't show my face I let you build your walls, I let you feel secure Watched you lock the door on what you couldn't cure I've been in the dark before the dark had a name I don't play for blood — I play for the game You thought I was contained, thought I had a leash Nah [adlib HEH] I was just out of reach [Pre-Chorus | Energy: Building | 808 rolls | accordion loop tightens | string stabs hit harder] You thought I was finished You thought I was gone [adlib UH] You thought the silence meant I'd moved on [Chorus | Vocal: rap | cold declarative | no melody | full 808 drop | accordion loop drives] You thought I was safe That was the mistake And it's one I'm GLAD you make You thought I was safe That was the mistake And it's one I'm glad you make (glad you make) (glad you make) [Verse 2 | Vocal: rap | slightly lower | slower cadence | more weight | cold aristocratic] I'm a vampire with the hard ire Step back or watch me take that slack Two hundred years of blood and barbed wire And I still don't want my coffin back I've been the thing beneath the thing beneath the earth I've outlasted every king in every single town where's MY fucking CROWN huh Leipzig to the grave and back before your birth Your bloodline's just a footnote in the dirt [Pre-Chorus | Energy: Building | 808 rolls | accordion loop | string stabs] You thought I was finished You thought I was gone You thought the silence meant I'd moved on [Chorus | full 808 drop | accordion loop | cold delivery] You thought I was safe That was the mistake And it's one I'm GLAD you make You thought I was safe That was the mistake And it's one I'm glad you make (glad you make) (glad you make) [Bridge | strips to accordion loop only | single 808 hit every four beats | Vocal: spoken word | flat | no affect] [Spoken word] I don't announce myself I don't explain myself I don't forgive (never did) [Final Chorus | Energy: High | full 808 wall | accordion drives | string stabs | cold] You thought I was safe That was the mistake And it's one I'm GLAD you make You thought I was safe That was the MISTAKE And it's one I'm glad you make (glad you make) (glad you make) [Outro | accordion loop decays | single 808 pulse | string stab fades | silence] (glad you make) (glad you make~)
