I Rot Where You Don’t Look

Intro (distorted, low)

Yeah…

Say my name wrong.

I like it better that way.

Verse 1

I don’t miss you—I stalk the memory,

Chew on your laugh like it owes me therapy.

You live rent-free in the cracks of my skull,

I don’t want peace, I want you ruined and dull.

I see you blink and my pulse start glitchin’,

Every fantasy sharp like a bad decision.

I don’t pray anymore, I manifest wrong,

Light candles out of things I should’ve moved on from.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t know what you do to me,

You don’t know ‘cause you don’t bleed me.

I don’t want closure, I want the ache,

I want the lie that you almost stayed.

Chorus

I can’t have you—and that’s the trigger,

Got my hands shaking every time I picture

Your mouth saying things I’ll never hear,

You’re my favorite fear, yeah you live right here.

I don’t want love, I want obsession,

I want the sickness, not the lesson.

I’d rather break than let this go,

I rot where you don’t look—slow.

Verse 2

I check my phone like it owes me blood,

Every silence louder than a loaded gun.

You touch someone else and I feel it in me,

Like a bruise I press just to make it bleed.

I don’t want heaven, I want your worst,

I want your secrets when you’re hurt.

I want the version you hide at night,

When the mirror asks if you’re alright.

Bridge (half-rapped, manic)

Say I’m sick—say it twice,

Say my name like you’re rolling dice.

I don’t chase, I haunt, I linger,

I don’t forget, I leave fingerprints.

You’re not mine but you feel like theft,

Like something taken I never left.

Chorus

I can’t have you—and that’s the trigger,

Got my hands shaking every time I picture

Your mouth saying things I’ll never hear,

You’re my favorite fear, yeah you live right here.

I don’t want love, I want obsession,

I want the sickness, not the lesson.

I’d rather break than let this go,

I rot where you don’t look—slow.

Outro (quiet, venomous)

One day I’ll forget your face,

But tonight I sharpen it.

I don’t want you happy…

I want you unforgettable.
