[RATATAT Track 5 – Album: FEARS Theme: Fear of losing control / silencing your inner demons too late] [INTRO – petty demon energy, whispered glitch FX] (Hahaha) Couldn’t get a text back… Guess I’m ringing—(ringing)—RATATA! [VERSE 1 – Demon POV, smug + unhinged] Heard you left the gutter—well, I’m guttered. Dropped me cold? Now your mind’s all cluttered. Tried to ghost your demon like I’m season— **Big shot now? I’ll drag you down—that’s treason. Who kept you company deep in the dark? Who mapped your fear like a poison chart? I got dirty so you stayed clean—cut me loose, now I bleed screens. You exorcised me from your life? Better spring clean—this mind is infected. [HOOK – Possession chant / corrupted ringtone loop] Ratatata—ratatara—tata—ratatat fears! Ratatat—ratatata—ratata—make it stop! Tit for tat (tatatata), don't rat (tatata!) Won’t stop ringing—infested your mind! (brain on loop, can't press rewind—ratatatatatatatatatatatatat—shhhh…) [VERSE 2 – Demon returns with vengeance & receipts] Only back 'cause you called—don’t front. Told yourself “healed,” but you missed the punch. You deleted my number, but not my hum. Guess who’s ringing... bet you thought I was done. You cleaned house—I kept the key. You burned sage—I laughed in the steam. Every “I’m fine” made me stronger. **Now I’m back—louder, meaner, longer. Tried to love soft? Cute attempt. I’m the twitch when you smile too wide. You moved on—but I see rot. **I'm the thought you forgot... that never forgot. ** [HOOK – repeat, glitchier] Ratatata—ratatara—tata—ratatat fears! Ratatat—ratatata—ratata—make it stop! Tit for tat (tatatata), don't rat (tatata!) Won’t stop ringing—infested your mind! (brain on loop, can't press rewind—ratatatatatatatatatatatatat—shhhh…) [BRIDGE – Demon mocks your healing arc, petty and personal] Who gave you that drip of confidence when you couldn’t say hi? I was the bottled courage that got you through the night. When you were low, who got you high? Took you to cloud nine so you'd escape your bed—(hobbit) Heard you got clean—guess that makes me dirty. (silly rabbit) Misery loves company… you can’t kick this bad habit. Original wingman—I’ll still drag you back. I’ll add pressure, you’ll chase pleasure—I’ll catch you when you crack. [FINAL HOOK – Fractured, possessed, distorted] Ratatata—ratatara—tatatat—FEARS. Ratatat—ratatatata—make it—stop. Shhhh. Shhhhh. (Tatata...) Don’t rat. Won’t stop ringing—infested your mind! (RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT—) …go crazy. [OUTRO – Spoken, decayed voice, fading like interference] You called me back the moment you forgot me. You left the light on… and I walked in. You’re not afraid of me. You’re afraid I’m right. Ratatat. That’s the sound of you cracking.
