Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It started like a normal night
Kids were laughing, the moon was bright
She said, “Spence, don’t eat that fourth one…”
But I said, “Cass, c’mon, the war’s not won.”

She raised her brow, she knew the signs
I felt the heat… in my lower spine
But I was cocky, I rolled the dice
Now I’m trapped in the bathroom, payin’ the price

[Chorus]
I should’ve listened… to Cassandra’s gentle plea
Now the storm’s inside me, and it won’t let me be
Oh the fire, the fury, the taco’s revenge
My dignity’s fading… I can’t pretend
Should’ve listened…
Should’ve listened…

[Verse 2]
The silence broke at 2:03
A gurgling beast rose inside of me
I leapt from bed, but it was too late
Now I’m sprintin’ to the door, clutchin’ my fate

Mirror fogged, my pride is gone
These boxers ain’t gonna last too long
Why did I scoff at the woman I love?
Now I’m cryin’ out to the heavens above—

[Chorus]
I should’ve listened… when she said “Enough is fine”
But the beef was callin’, and the cheese was divine
Oh the salsa lied, and the guac betrayed
Now I’m broken and haunted by the choices I made
Should’ve listened…
Should’ve listened…

[Bridge – drums kick in, heavy toms and reverb]
(Cassandra, I’m sorry…)
Forgive me my sins, my tortillas of doom
I’m sweatin’ and shakin’ in this porcelain tomb
Your wisdom was clear, but I played the fool
Now the bathroom’s a battlefield, and my soul’s the stool

[Final Chorus – epic key change]
I should’ve listened… to your calm and steady voice
Now the echoes of tacos are drowning out choice
Oh my gut is a traitor, my pants are a mess
I’ve made my bed… and it’s full of distress
Should’ve listened…
Oh Cassandra, I should’ve listened…

[Outro – whisper fade with soft synth pads]
Next time… salad…
No spice…
Forgive me, love…
Forgive... my life…
