Intoxicating Fear (Part Two)

While they, wasted their lives in a fog of distractions
I, I walked among them, unseen plotting my future

I spent days, weeks

I, I filled, journals with the names of those who had tormented me
And each entry, each name was a promise, a vow
I swore, swore to visit every single one of them, to umm
To exact my revenge

And that girl, uhhhhh, she became, she became the final name
The one I, I couldn't let slip away

You see, fear gives you a, a high
One that's intoxicating
It surges through your veins
And it takes hold of your mind
And before you know it
You're addicted

They, they wanted to see me broken?
Crushed under the weight of their cruelty?

The men with their smirks and the sneers
Quick to dismiss me, to tear me down?

And the women with their cold shoulders, their whispers
Fake allies, and rampant gossips, so eager to reject me

I, I was, never enough
Never worthy of their, approval or affection

But, instead of breaking
I became something they never, never expected

I embraced it

I took that high, that rush, and I made it mine

I learned to harness it, to control it
And then, to turn it against them

They wanted me to be the monster in their nightmares
And I became something far worse

They, created me
Shaped me with every taunt, every insult
Every rejection, until I became their worst fear

And now, oh, they'll have to
Face the consequences

The tables have turned my dolls
And now it's my turn to watch them wiggle and squirm

They can run and they can hide, but they'll never escape

The fear they planted in me?

It's too strong, buried too deep

And I'm not just coming for them
I'm coming for everyone

Everyone who's ever felt safe

Wagging their tongues while their lying hearts
Seeped poison and bile into my world

I'm coming for everyone who's ever
Laughed at someone else's pain

The game?

Has changed

And this time

It's my rules

Yes
