Lyrics
Intro
(Low, distorted bass kicks in)
Karma is a bitch.
Verse 1
Youâre checking the locks and youâre dimming the lights
Counting the shadows that kept you up nights
You thought you could bury the things that you said
But silence is louder when youâre in your bed
The ink on the pages is starting to dry
And nobodyâs left to believe in the lie.
Pre-Chorus
(Tempo speeds up, snapping sounds)
Tick, tick, there goes the clock
Hands on the door but you canât turn the lock
Breath hitting glass, itâs a cold kind of blue
The ghost in the mirror looks exactly like you.
Chorus
Itâs a long road back from the bridge you burned
Itâs a hard-won lesson that you never learned
Itâs the echo of a name in a hollow room
Itâs the harvest of the seeds of a certain doom
You can run, you can hide, you can try to switch
But the debtâs coming due.
Verse 2
(Stripped back, heavy percussion)
You wore the crown like it wasn't a loan
But stones always fall when you live in that home
The secrets you whispered are screaming out loud
Thereâs no silver lining inside of this cloud
Did you think you were winning? Did you think you were free?
Now youâre just a footnote in history.
Instrumental Break
(Heavy synth growl, gritty guitar riffs, driving beat)
Bridge
(Whispered)
It doesn't sleep.
It doesn't blink.
Itâs the bitter taste in every drink.
(Building to a shout)
Itâs not a tragedy, itâs just the design
Youâre finally crossing the finish line!
Chorus
Itâs a long road back from the bridge you burned
Itâs a hard-won lesson that you never learned
Itâs the echo of a name in a hollow room
Itâs the harvest of the seeds of a certain doom
You can run, you can hide, you can try to switch...
Outro
(Music cuts out suddenly, leaving only a faint heartbeat)
Karma is a bitch.
