Oh, the whispers, they watch and wait
Try to guess my next move too late
But it's not magic, it's not entirely a curse
Just my talent for knowing who's worse
I see their tells before they blink
I taste their lies before they think
Some call it cunning, call it cruel
I just call it knowing the rules
Silver tongues and velvet lies
I let them talk; I bide my time
A careless slip, a sidelong glance
And now they're waltzing in my hands
Play the game, twist the scene
I flick my wrist; they dance for me
Spin the lies, wear the crown
I build them up; I let them drown
It's my gift, my curse, my thrill
Reading hearts and bending wills
They set the rules, I'm forged to slay
You can't win, but you'll play my way
A sharpened smile, a measured sigh
They never know when they've been tried
A word too soft, a touch too bold
Now, their secrets all unfold
They hold their cards, hedge their bets
They never see the hidden threats
But I've been watching all along
Now they're dancing to my song
A bit of pride, a glance too keen
I draw the thread and split the seam
Think they move of their own accord
But every step, I've laid before
Play the game, twist the scene
I flick my wrist; they dance for me
Spin the lies, wear the crown
I build them up; I let them drown
It's my gift, my curse, my thrill
Reading hearts and bending wills
They set the rules, I'm forged to slay
You can't win, but you'll play my way
Oh, a lifted brow, a knowing smirk
They take the bait; I watch them work
They think they've won; think I'm blind
But they're at least five moves behind
No need for force, no need for steel
Their egos break beneath my heel
Let them fight, let them play
But in the end, they'll kneel my way
Clever hands on borrowed hearts
I pluck the strings; they play their parts
It's the final move, one last bow
Look who's standing tallest now
Play the game, twist the scene
I flick my wrist; they dance for me
Spin the lies, wear the crown
I build them up; I let them drown
It's my gift, my curse, my thrill
Reading hearts and bending wills
They set the rules, I'm forged to slay
You can't win, but you'll play my way
You'll play my way
Oh dear, was that checkmate?
Do play again-I love to win

Oh, the whispers, they watch and wait
