Background
During his Twitch stream on June 14, 2022, Mike Shinoda revealed he had been working with Pvris. He said, "I feel like I can tell you who I've a session with today. I feel like this song is gonna probably, we talked about it coming out. I have a session with Pvris today. An artist named Lynn Gunn. The band named Pvris, not the Harris. Yeah, we've been working on some couple things. We got a song that's pretty dope, I think. I like it. Working on that today."[1]
He further commented on the collaboration during an interview with KROQ in February 2023. "The thing that I have been the most involved in, I've been producing stuff for other people, writing, producing for other people. And so, I have some songs coming out, we just put out a song by Justus Bennets, which I love, I have something in the way with PVRIS... P-V-R Paris, yeah, not the blonde one, but the brunette one. Her name is Lynn, she's awesome. And then, most importantly, I think this is a world premiere, I think I haven't really talked about this, so this is cool, this is kind of cool. I have two songs in the new Scream movie. Truth be told, if you would have asked me when I wanted to put them out it wouldn't have been right next to Meteora, but that's when the movie comes out. So, that's gonna be a huge month for Linkin Park fans, like that's a brand new song, yeah, it's my track. Kailee Morgue is singing on the track, she's incredible. The reason I chose her is because she's like a massive Scream fan and she's got a good voice too, so I was like, 'She's a perfect fit for this thing.' So yeah, I feel like that's the start of our year, we'll see what happens after that, but there's a lot in store for Linkin Park fans."[2]

Lyrics
You've been slowly escaping your dimension
Trying to drag me to another plane
And I can't help but feel your bad intentions
A black cloud I can see from miles away
You're the worst kind of criminal, yeah
You miss your shots
Treat me like I'm invisible
Is that all you've got? Oh
I don't have time for your drama
Follow me around like piranhas
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana, no
Steady sweating me like a sauna
All it's gonna be is bad karma
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana
Walking in like a lamb into the slaughter
Can't comprehend how you do this every time
'Cause no one else can turn wine back into water
Steal the charm just like a crook
You wrote the book on killing vibes
You're the worst kind of criminal, yeah
You miss your shots
Treat me like I'm invisible
Is that all you got? Oh
I don't have time for your drama
Follow me around like piranhas
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana, no
Steady sweating me like a sauna
All it's gonna be is bad karma
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana
Made it this far, so I can't start running
Not gonna let you take this from me
Made it this far, so I can't start running
Not gonna let you take this, take this
I don't have time
I don't have time
I don't have time for your drama
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana, no
Steady sweating me like a sauna
All it's gonna be is bad karma
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana
Made it this far, so I can't start running
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana
Made it this far, so I can't start running
You're acting like you don't, but you wanna
Take my nirvana
Take my nirvana
