{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}
