Burn the Script

Lyrics

[Intro - dark trap 808s rolling low, breathy female vocals half-whispered over heavy reverb, distant distorted guitar swells]

[Verse 1 - moody soulful rap, trap hi-hats ticking, deep bass pulses, vulnerable yet sensual tone]

I learned to smile for the room
Then cry in the stall
Mascara on my knuckles
Blood on the wall
Jay said, "Baby, take it"
Then took what he could
I wore my hurt like perfume
Did the best that I could

[Pre-Chorus - building tension, layered harmonies over sidechained bass, emotional vocal cracks]

I thought pain meant love
I thought love meant stay
Every time he broke me
I just begged for rain
Now I see the pattern
Written in my skin
If I let you in
Am I losing again?

[Chorus - explosive soul-rock fusion, full band crash, gritty distorted vocals with passionate ad-libs]

I burn the script, burn it down
I don't need your hands on me now
Say I'm chaos, say I'm cruel
But I'm not your little war zone, fool
I burn the script, burn it down
(come closer) watch me leave the ground
You said hurt is how we heal
Now I want something real

[Verse 2 - edgy hip-hop flow, heavy 808s and hard drums, breathy aggressive female rap]

He watched from the doorway
Like he knew my name
Saw right through the glitter
Saw right through the game
"No, you're not chaos
You're clarity," he said
And it hit like a blade
Straight through my head

[Pre-Chorus - deep sensual soul, piano and soft strings backing, vulnerable emotional delivery]

I don't know how to trust
When my knees still ache
When every sweet word
Feels like a heartbreak
But he stayed with my shaking
Let the silence breathe
Didn't make me beg
Didn't make me bleed

[Chorus - massive bass drop, hard-hitting rock drums and distorted guitar riffs, fire passionate vocals]

I burn the script, burn it down
I don't need your hands on me now
Say I'm chaos, say I'm cruel
But I'm not your little war zone, fool
I burn the script, burn it down
(come closer) watch me leave the ground
You said hurt is how we heal
Now I want something real

[Bridge - stripped back, dark soulful piano only, breathy explicit female vocals]

Bruised knees, bathroom floor
I was somebody's lesson before
Now I know what I deserve
Not a cage, not a curse
If I fall, let it be
Into arms that don't make me
Pay for wanting, pay for touch
Pay for feeling way too much

[Final Chorus - hard fire climax, full rock band with hip-hop edge, aggressive emotional belts]

I burn the script, burn it down
I don't need your hands on me now
Say I'm chaos, say I'm cruel
But I'm not your little war zone, fool
I burn the script, burn it down
(come closer) watch me leave the ground
You said hurt is how we heal
Now I want something real

[Outro - fading ethereal pads mixed with deep 808s and reverb-drenched vocals, explicit closing line]

Clarity
Not your war
Not your lesson
Anymore
