Sharp and clean

**[Intro – glitched breakcore beat, distorted synth, sharp inhale]**

*[breath]*  
...Ну... Чтож...  
*[inhale]*  
Погнали...

**[Verse 1 – rapid-fire, no pause, breathless]**

I used to paint the stars with my fingertips  
Now I paint the walls with the slip of my lips  
Mumbling curses while my blade does the work  
I'm a perfect little monster with a devilish smirk  
Dreamt of castles, dreamt of crowns, dreamt of standing in the light   
Now I'm standing in the alley and the moon is my only knight  
Ambition? Yeah I had it, but it drowned in the rain  
Now I'm just a stain on the windowpane  
*[breath]*  
Yume wa hate — dreams end, that's the deal  
I learned to love the feeling of the steel  
**Всё равно — мне всё равно**, I just wanna feel  

**[Pre-Chorus – beat intensifies, synth stabs]**

No shame, no name, no future in the frame  
Just the flame, just the game, just the whisper of the blade  
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be  
A killer with no conscience — and that's okay with me  
*(deep inhale)*  
**Смотри на меня** — I'm finally free  
*(triumphant exhale with satisfaction)*

**[Chorus – screamed, layered, rave energy]**

**I'm awake!** (HA!) – In the mess that I made  
**I'm awake!** (HA!) – In the bed that I laid  
**I'm awake!** (HA!) – **Кровь на руках — не стереть**  
**I'm awake!** (HA!) – This is my promised land — **моя смерть**

**[Verse 2 – even faster, barrage rap, almost nonsensical but perfectly rhymed]**

I dreamed of flying high, now I'm diggin' low  
My aspirations got corrupted by the ebb and the flow  
Kokoro wa kowareta — heart is broken, so what?  
I traded all my dreams for a knife and a gut  
**Ну и что? Ну и пусть** — I wanted to be poet, wanted to be queen  
Now I'm just a silhouette in a blood-soaked scene  
The irony is thick enough to cut with my blade  
Every single dream I had, I systematically betrayed  
But the rhythm of the ruin, it fits me like a glove  
**Новый день — новая кровь** — I was never made for heaven, I was forged for the above  

**[Chorus – same, but glitched, distorted]**

**I'm awake!** (HA!) – In the mess that I made  
**I'm awake!** (HA!) – In the bed that I laid  
**I'm awake!** (HA!) – **Кровь на руках — не стереть**  
**I'm awake!** (HA!) – This is my promised land — **моя смерть**

**[Bridge – slower, pulsating, almost melodic, breathy]**

*[sigh]*  
...Maybe in another life I could have been something clean...  
...Maybe in another dream I wouldn't be so mean...  
**Но нет — я здесь, я всегда здесь была**  
*[whisper]*  
But this is what I am...  
This is what I breathe...  
I'm a killer with a rhythm and I'll never leave  
**Мой нож поёт — слушай, не перебивай**  
**Это мой рай — это мой ад — это мой край**

**[Outro – breakcore beat slows, distorts, then abrupt cut]**

*[breath]*  
I'm awake...  
...in the mess...  
...that I made...  
**...В этом аду...**  
**...Я пропаду...**  
—  

**[Silence — no fade, dead stop]**
