00:06In the quiet street where the walls start to breathe
00:17Something woke up behind the wheel
00:38She lies on the hood with blood on her lips
00:42A mirror virgin staring back through the glass
00:45Leather and nails, red eyes in the dark
00:48Running in herself down in the suburban night
00:53Two faces fight in the middle of the road
00:56One pure in the flowers, one bound in the black
01:00The world's closing while the body still moves
01:04Screaming the words that the camera already knows
01:08She said it was only the demons inside
01:15But the demons keep wearing her face
01:26This is the disease of the crowd
01:28The one she can't outrun
01:33The one that wears her down
01:38She dances with the shadow she invited in
01:42Calls it on
01:44While the veil goes thin
01:45No, the ones who know
01:49They already see the thread
01:51The ones who know
01:53The ones who know
01:56Can taste the blood she left
02:10There was another before the name was given
02:13A songbird on the edge of the same New York night
02:17Same jaw, same fire, same dark
02:20Theatrical skin writing the melodies
02:23I never saw the light
02:25She danced on the roof
02:27When the world still felt young
02:28Then the fall came quiet
02:30And the spotlight shifted
02:32One month the album dropped
02:34One month the silence fell
02:36And the mirror started wearing a different name
02:40They said it was only a tragic end
02:47But the timing still tastes like a deer
02:57This is the disease of the crown
03:00The one she can't outrun
03:04The one that wears her down
03:09She dances with the shadow she invited in
03:13Calls it on
03:15While the veil rolls thin
03:17Oh, the ones who know
03:20They already see the thread
03:23The ones who know
03:25The ones who know
03:27Can taste the blood she left
03:33The name forger
03:35Whispered the title into her ear
03:39The spirit painted taught her
03:41How to cook with the unseen
03:47One eye flashes in every frame she holds
03:52Ritual after ritual
03:54Dressed up as fashion scene
03:56She runs from herself
03:58Through the closing walls
04:00But the thing that drives the car
04:02Was never only her
04:04The puppet strings glint
04:06When the lights go low
04:07The song that cured the world
04:09Still carries the fever
04:13This is the disease of the crown
04:17The one she can't outrun
04:21The one that wears her down
04:25She dances with the shadow she invited in
04:29Calls it on
04:31While the veil rolls thin
04:33Oh, the ones who know
04:36They already see the thread
04:39The ones who know
04:41They always knew the cost of the name
04:47The walls keep closing
04:51The car keeps coming
04:55And the disease
04:58Was never only hers
05:03The one she can't outrun
05:04The one she can't outrun
05:04The one she can't outrun
05:06The one she can't outrun
05:06The one she can't outrun
05:09The one she can't outrun
