{crisp glitchy snare
hit echoing
into dark pulsing bassline}
Played it cool, watched you break the rules straight Hoping you didn't
want the weight, didn't want the fate Now you’re running,
vanish in the city light
Fake smiles, cold medicine,
Thursday night
It’s a mess, but the system’s still tracking the beat Damage is
verified, moving on to the street
{subtle rhythmic stutter on
mess line} Maybe I can manage,
but the damage is logged Lavish living ended,
now the memory’s fogged Wasted energy,
yeah, the audit is lean I do my best to manage the
ghost in the machine La,
la, la-la... but the damage remains
The code is rewritten,
despite all the pains
{deep distorted driving trap rhythm,
layered cold metallic reverb} Why you pulling up now that the bread
is up?
Trying to fuck the head up,
filling the cup
Don't want to waste time,
don't want to spill
Love is a glitch,
I’m over the hill
Running through the city,
the damage is old
I’m writing the narrative,
I’m taking control
{fast-paced staccato delivery, distorted growl on don't wildin'} Manage the wreckage.
Audit the scars. You did the damage.
I did the repair.
{sudden silence then clean synth pulse,
close-mic whisper}
La, la, la-la... 100% Tiguidou.
The damage
is part of
the design.
{final clean digital chime,
return to raw
intimate
2am
bedroom studio}
