[Verse 1]
You spit your venom like a sermon on repeat
Preach innocence, while you rot underneath
Point your fingers, draw your lines in chalk
But your reflection’s the villain you stalk

[Pre-Chorus]
Every joke, every lie, every scar you throw
We’ve been the target, but we want you to know…

[Chorus]
We see you — we’re not blind
To the blame you try to hide behind
Every laugh, every cruel disguise
Cuts like a blade, but we recognize

[Verse 2]
You wear your halo like a crown of rust
A saint in daylight, but it crumbles to dust
We’ve been the punchline in your twisted play
But the curtain’s falling, and the truth won’t stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar that you left was a badge we own
Every shadow you cast only made us known

[Chorus]
We see you — we’re not blind
To the blame you try to hide behind
Every laugh, every cruel disguise
Cuts like a blade—

We see you — and we won’t break
You can’t drown us in the mess you make
We’ve been your scapegoats, but we’ll pull through
‘Cause we see you

[Bridge]
Built for blame, that’s what you say
But we’re not built to fade away

We see you — we see you
We see through the lies that you cling to

(Ahh ahh ahh) Blame me, shame me, I won’t be erased
(Ahh ahh ahh) Your mask is cracking, I see your face

[Final Chorus]
We see you — we’re not blind
To the blame you try to hide behind
Every laugh, every cruel disguise
Cuts like a blade, but we recognize

We see you — we’re not blind
To the blame you try to hide behind
Every laugh, every cruel disguise
Cuts like a blade, but we recognize

[Outro]
Built for blame, that’s what you say
But we’re not built to fade away

LZX - Built For Blame

Lyrics:

[Intro]
I taste the rust on my tongue
Like a prayer that’s come undone
Shadows paint my name in red
Every echo leaves me dead

[Verse 1]
Broken mirrors in my chest
Every heartbeat’s second guess
Dancing with the scars I hide
They’re the only friends alive

[Pre-Chorus]
I swore I’d never let it show
But the cracks are bleeding through, don’t you know?

[Chorus]
I’m screaming out my crimson confessions
Drowning in a flood of obsessions
Rip me open, tear me down
Still I’ll wear this crooked crown
I’m screaming out my crimson confessions
Bleeding just to feel the connection

[Verse 2]
Every lie’s a loaded gun
I pull the trigger just for fun
Dressed in chaos, stitched in pain
But I still ignite the flame

[Pre-Chorus]
I swore I’d never let it show
But the cracks are bleeding through, don’t you know?

[Chorus]
I’m screaming out my crimson confessions
Drowning in a flood of obsessions
Rip me open, tear me down
Still I’ll wear this crooked crown
I’m screaming out my crimson confessions
Bleeding just to feel the connection

[Bridge]
(Tear the walls apart!) Let the silence scream
(Feed the fire, feed the fire!) Nothing’s ever clean

I’m not afraid to lose control
I’m not afraid to bare my soul!

[Chorus]
I’m screaming out my crimson confessions
Drowning in a flood of obsessions
Rip me open, tear me down
Still I’ll wear this crooked crown
I’m screaming out my crimson confessions
Bleeding just to feel the connection

[Outro] 
Crimson confessions…
I bleed my obsessions…

LZX - Confessions

Lyrics:

[Intro]
I choke on the silence,
Where the truth should scream,
Letters on my tongue,
But they drown in the dream.

[Verse 1]
I stitch my lips shut with barbed-wire regret,
Every word’s a secret I haven’t confessed,
I trace your shadow in the glow of the flame,
But the phrase in my chest just won’t call out your name.

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re waiting for the fireworks,
But I’m a match that never lights,
I swear the spark is there,
But I can’t ignite—

[Chorus]
It’s three words I couldn’t say,
Locked behind my teeth, they decay,
I’m screaming inside but it sounds like silence,
Love is a war, and I’m lost to the violence.
If I could let it out, would you even stay?
Or just run away — from three words I couldn’t say.

[Verse 2]
I write the letters in invisible ink,
They fade in the air every time that I blink,
You deserve a symphony, I give you static,
My heart’s automatic, but my fear’s so fanatic.

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re waiting for the fireworks,
But I’m a fuse that’s frayed in shame,
I know the melody,
But can’t sing the refrain—

[Chorus]
It’s three words I couldn’t say,
Locked behind my teeth, they decay,
I’m screaming inside but it sounds like silence,
Love is a war, and I’m lost to the violence.
If I could let it out, would you even stay?
Or just run away — from three words I couldn’t say.

[Bridge]
(Break me, shake me, I’m buried in the doubt)
(Trace me, erase me, I can’t let it out)
I see the love burning wild in your eyes,
But I’m still paralyzed—

These walls don’t crack, they cave,
I’m the prisoner and the grave,
A chorus unsung, a verse unmade,
Three words in the dark I’m too afraid—

[Chorus]
It’s three words I couldn’t say,
Locked behind my teeth, they decay,
I’m screaming inside but it sounds like silence,
Love is a war, and I’m lost to the violence.
If I could let it out, would you even stay?
Or just run away — from three words I couldn’t say.

[Outro]
Three words… I couldn’t say.

LZX - Three Words

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Happy belated — confetti in flames,
I brought you the candle but forgot your name,
Singing apologies off-key in the dark,
A celebration burned to charcoal marks.

[Verse 1]
I was the party favor no one took home,
A suitcase of secrets, unpacked all alone,
You handed me silence, it cuts like a gift,
I wrapped it in ribbons no one will lift.

I danced with the shadow you left on the floor,
A mask in the mirror I once adored,
The bonfire of friendship took sparks from my hands,
And turned them to ashes, to dust, to demands.

[Pre-Chorus]
We were neon lights in a ghost-town ceiling,
Burned out fast, left me stealing feeling,
Raise this toast to a campus past,
A polaroid promise that never lasts.

[Chorus]
Raise your glass to the fallout tonight,
Too much love is a carnival fight,
I’ll stay here where the record turned,
A lesson learned, a lesson learned.

[Verse 2]
Your glance was a guillotine drop in the hall,
The jury decided: no contact at all,
I taunted the silence, I tried to explain,
But over-explanations just sharpen the chain.

The story was never a thing we could hold,
I dressed it in silver, you called it old,
A message becomes just a footnote trick,
A diary burned by a candlestick.

[Pre-Chorus]
A mask once slipping, a drama too true,
But I live with the best of what came from you,
We were seconds in an awkward scene,
Now I’m surrounded by what it could mean.

[Chorus]
Raise your glass to the fallout tonight,
Too much love is a carnival fight,
I was the clown in your parade of masks,
Just confetti and chords on an empty task.

Congratulations, you’re driving away,
A license to leave what I never could say,
I’ll stay here where the record turned,
A lesson learned, a lesson learned.

[Bridge]
A birthday cake but the candles are bleeding,
A party hat crowned on a ghost who is leaving,
The closure is not what I wanted to stage,
But silence is lines that I can’t rearrange.

Break the glass, break the glass, break the glass
I was too much, I was too much,
(urn the notes, burn the notes, burn the notes
My ghost is enough, my ghost is enough.

[Final Chorus]
Raise your glass to the fallout tonight,
Too much love is a carnival fight,
I was the clown in your parade of masks,
Just confetti and chords on an empty task.

Congratulations, you’re driving away,
A license to leave what I never could say,
I’ll stay here where the record turned,
A lesson learned, a lesson learned—
[Outro]
I’ll stay here where the record turned,
A lesson learned, a lesson learned.
