[Intro]
[(Low, distorted bass kicks in)]
Karma is a bitch.
[Verse 1]
You’re checking the locks and you’re 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 you’re in your bed
The ink on the pages is starting to dry
And nobody’s 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 can’t turn the lock
Breath hitting glass, it’s a cold kind of blue
The ghost in the mirror looks exactly like you.
[Chorus]
It’s a long road back from the bridge you burned
It’s a hard-won lesson that you never learned
It’s the echo of a name in a hollow room
It’s the harvest of the seeds of a certain doom
You can run, you can hide, you can try to switch
But the debt’s 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
There’s no silver lining inside of this cloud
Did you think you were winning? Did you think you were free?
Now you’re 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.
It’s the bitter taste in every drink.
[(Building to a shout)]
It’s not a tragedy, it’s just the design
You’re finally crossing the finish line!
[Chorus]
It’s a long road back from the bridge you burned
It’s a hard-won lesson that you never learned
It’s the echo of a name in a hollow room
It’s 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.
