(Intro – low humming & broken vocal fragments, soft ambient guitars) Aha...ha... aha... ah...ha... ah... Na na... Na... Nana...nn na... Da da da... da da... na da...da... na da... da... Da ra da ra da... --- (Verse 1 – calm, disillusioned tone) So this is how... It all ends here... In the short verse of this melody... That my heart rips away... Yeah, this is how it ends... Just like that... With a sweet goodbye... I see you walking away... --- (Pre-Chorus 1 – voice breaks slightly, more emotion) Three years, thrown away... With a lie in my mind... That tore it from my eyes... I feel this pain... It makes noise in my chest... It’s the heart that suffers... The heart that suffers... The heart that suffers... --- (Chorus 1 – steady rhythm, guitars build) AND SO IT WAS, I TORE YOU AWAY THAT LIE IN MY MADNESS And it’s always like this... I thought you were different... In your twisted mind, sadistic beauty... That invaded my head... --- (Bridge 1 – dark melodic interlude) And it’s always like this, in the end it's a game. Putting your hand in the fire, Destroying what’s already burning. And you complain like that, about being alone, While stealing the only word that brushes my soul... --- (Verse 2 – deep and whispered, with ambient piano/synth under guitars) Little spark, dancing alone A masterful dance, with that precision of yours One glance was enough to make me fall... Into a river of fears... A sea of thoughts... --- (Pre-Chorus 2 – more intense build, echoing vocals) And it always ends like this... You have to let me go... Your fire hurts... It wants to devour me... Da da... da da... la la... lala... da la da... na da... na... --- (Chorus 2 – repeated with fuller instrumentals) AND SO IT WAS, I TORE YOU AWAY THAT LIE OF YOURS FEEDING MY MADNESS A GAME OF PURE MASTERY And it’s always like this... I thought you were different... In your twisted mind, sadistic beauty... That invaded my head... --- (Bridge 2 – downtempo, cinematic atmosphere) It was all just a game. Throwing me into the fire Letting me burn like that, losing hope... A shattered light. A stubborn soul. Like the one I was given... That day of grim darkness... And you kidnapped me like that, with a false face... A tiger hidden, in your shadow bound Cruel puppeteer Strings tied, thoughts guided into your sick desires... --- (Break – distorted guitars, strong spoken vocal) IT’S ALWAYS LIKE THIS! YOU HYPNOTIZED ME, MOLDED MY MIND SHATTERED MY HEART... --- (Chorus 3 – final powerful chorus) And so it is... That I walk away. My step into fate. My destiny — burned. And I’ll go like this. Out of your fantasy... A puppet running away... From her mind and madness. I walk through the fire... --- (Outro – faded ambient, almost whispered) A painful pill... A thorny rose... A poisonous word... A pitiful marionette... --- (Final line – soft echo with piano) And so this is how I go... A pain locked in a jar, A hope destroyed — not by chance... From this perverse game...

The End
