Rina Kaze - Mentor's Shadow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sweet words drip like honey gold
Through studio lights, your stories sold
Teaching me tricks of your precious trade
While my future slowly starts to fade
You built me up just to watch me fall
Behind closed doors, you planned it all

[Chorus]
In your shadow, I learned to dance
Puppet strings wrapped in circumstance
Thought you were my guiding light
But you dimmed my shine in the dead of night
(In the dead of night)

[Verse 2]
Smoke and mirrors in your game
Building yourself up on my name
Every "darling" laced with lies
Every compliment in disguise
Now I see through your facade
Your perfect mask is starting to crack

[Bridge]
Delete my number, erase your calls
Watch your empire f*cking fall
No more playing by your rules
No more acting like your fool
(Like your fool)

[Chorus]
In your shadow, I learned to dance
Puppet strings wrapped in circumstance
Thought you were my guiding light
But you dimmed my shine in the dead of night
(In the dead of night)

[Outro]
Sweet revenge tastes better cold
Now I'm breaking from your hold
Watch me rise above your games
While you're drowning in your shame
Baby, I don't need your crown
'Cause I'm burning your kingdom down
(Down, down, down)
