[Intro]

[Intro] (Moody, echoing synth melody with a slow, vinyl-scratching drum beat) Yeah. You can't force it. You just watch it slip. [Verse 1: Rap Vocal] Every single brick I laid, every single plan I made I was trying to build a shelter where the memories wouldn't fade I put the time in, put the grind in, gave you everything I had But I'm looking at your face and I can see the signal's bad It's an illusion of control, it's a trick inside my head Thinking I could keep you here with all the things I did and said But the reality is cold, and the truth is hard to swallow If you're looking at the door, I know the footsteps gonna follow. [Pre-Chorus: Clean Vocal, Building Tension] I used to think that I was enough. I used to think my hands were so tough. But you can't chain the wind to the floor... And I'm tired of watching the door. [Chorus: Huge Distorted Guitars, Powerful/Screaming Vocal] No matter what I do, I can't make you stay! I bleed for this connection, but you drift away! Every morning is a risk, every sunrise is a test Wondering if today’s the day you're leaving the nest! I can't lock you in, no matter how I've wept! A woman only stays if she wants to be kept! (Wants to be kept!) [Verse 2: Rap Vocal] (Guitars drop out, back to heavy bass and synth) Wake up in a cold sweat, staring at the ceiling Trying to decode every look and every feeling Is today the day it snaps? Is today the final hour? Am I watering a garden that is out of every flower? You can give a million dollars, you can give a million days But if her heart is pointing outward, she is going on her way. It ain't about my value, it ain't about my pride It's the fact that I can't force you to stay here by my side! [Pre-Chorus: Clean Vocal, Building Tension] I used to think that I was enough. I used to think my hands were so tough. But you can't chain the wind to the floor... And I'm tired of watching the door. [Chorus: Huge Distorted Guitars, Powerful/Screaming Vocal] No matter what I do, I can't make you stay! I bleed for this connection, but you drift away! Every morning is a risk, every sunrise is a test Wondering if today’s the day you're leaving the nest! I can't lock you in, no matter how I've wept! A woman only stays if she wants to be kept! [Bridge: Clean Vocal transitioning to Heavy Scream] (Music slows down, atmospheric, heavy bass heartbeat) I leave the door wide open. I put the keys on the table. If you want to walk away, I know you are able. I gave you everything... (Music swells, drums pound) I gave you everything! BUT THE CHOICE WAS NEVER MINE! NO, THE CHOICE WAS NEVER MINE! [Heavy Guitar Solo / Turntable Scratching] (Intense, rhythmic, aggressive breakdown) [Chorus: Explosive, Maximum Energy] No matter what I do, I can't make you stay! I bleed for this connection, but you drift away! Every morning is a risk, every sunrise is a test Wondering if today’s the day you're leaving the nest! I can't lock you in, no matter how I've wept! A woman only stays if she wants to be kept! [Outro] (Heavy guitars abruptly stop. Just the intro synth remains) Yeah. If she wants to be kept. (Turntable scratch, beat stops) [End]
