Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I gave ’em time, they mistook that for weakness
Let ’em close, they betrayed for convenience
Told the truth, they rewrote it in pieces
I stayed real while they played with the sequence

I don’t beg, I observe and remember
Left my heart in the ash of December
They smiled while the cold crept in
Now im built for the storm don’t let threats in
They moved grimy — I moved out
Took my soul back, left no route
They ain’t ghost me — I exhaled
Now my name hit hard in a dead-quiet drought

⸻

[Hook – Half-Spoken / Melodic Flow]
I don’t want revenge, I want quiet that cuts
The kind that rings out when the fake ones hush
They played with fire, I became what’s touched
Now I burn with a calm that don’t need much
I don’t want closure, I want my peace
Not the sweet kind — the kind with teeth
I gave ’em light, they swallowed the beam
So I blacked out love and I sleep in the deep

⸻

[Verse 2]
I seen real turn plastic in minutes
I seen “forever” fold when it thinned in
I seen truth get sold for image
Now I move like a wound with a crimson finish

No calls, no texts, just clarity
They took warmth, now I walk with disparity
I ain’t cry — I distilled that pain
Into razor-lined lines and a cold disparity

They ain’t break me — they revealed the frame
Gave them gold, they just played with the chain
Now I move like smoke through shame
Can’t touch what’s gone and don’t bleed the same

⸻

[Hook – Repeated, with Intensity]
I don’t want revenge, I want quiet that cuts
The kind that rings out when the fake ones hush
They played with fire, I became what’s touched
Now I burn with a calm that don’t need much
I don’t want closure, I want my peace
Not the sweet kind — the kind with teeth
I gave ’em light, they swallowed the beam
So I blacked out love and I sleep in the deep
