I’ll be gentle, I swear | DOLLTEAR [STTZ Mentor Event - Slade 🖤 Foley]

[Intro]
You’re already listening.

Stay still.
You twitch when I say nothing.
That’s my favorite reaction.

[Verse]
I don’t chase, I rearrange you,
til your thoughts spell my initials.
I fold pauses into pressure,
make your comfort conditional.
Count my syllables crawling your spine,
listen,
s’s sss, tck-tck, breathe on time.
You nod before you notice the nod,
good habit,
good pet,
good god.

I talk in loops you can’t escape from,
syntax snakes in your short-term.
Every word tastes almost right,
til it lives rent-free and burns.
I say “relax” like a trigger,
say “trust” like a lock.
You confuse my grip for shelter,
adorable thought.

[Pre-Chorus]
If you leave, you’ll miss me.
If you stay, you’ll split.
Either way,
I’m the voice you hear
when it goes quiet.

[Chorus]
Say it slower, say it softer,
say you’re fine when you’re not.
I don’t hurt you, I hover,
til you forget what you want.
Look at me, so supportive,
hands clean, smile correct.
I don’t break you, I perfect
every doubt you collect.

[Bridge]
Prettyprettyplease don’t blink, miss a beat and I rewrite you,
split your focus, flood your nerves, now my rhythm lives inside you.
Pa-pa-pause,
no,
keep going,
good,
your panic sounds musical.

Don't think, just listen...

[Verse]
I talk in paragraphs-per-second pressure, run-on sentences wrapping your posture tighter, every thought you start I finish louder, faster, stacking meanings till your silence fractures.
I narrate your doubt while you’re still forming it, predict your flinch before your muscles twitch,
I overload comfort till it glitches wrong, then call that feeling “where you belong.”

Watch how your breathing matches my tempo,
inhale on command, exhale when I say so,
you think you’re choosing but you’re syncing, every “maybe” folding neatly into my thinking.

I don’t rush you, I accelerate time,
stretch one second till it snaps your spine,
not breaking bone,
no,
breaking focus,
til your inner voice starts quoting me as motive.

Don't resist.

(hahaha-HA-ha-hahah-ih-HA!)

[Chorus]
Say it slower, say it softer,
call it love, call it fate.
I don’t cage you, I center
every fear you create.
Stay polite, stay compliant,
I’ll be gentle, I swear.
If you feel me in your breathing,
congrats.
I’m already there.

[Outro]
You can leave whenever you want.
...why would you?

(hh-hh-ha)
