Mad
(plain crazy)

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
[Low Drone, Distant Siren Synth, Heartbeat Percussion]
[Build: Bass Pulse, Tremolo Guitar, Organ Swell]

[Verse 1]
[Steady Beat, Fuzzy Bass, Muted Guitar Chops, Low Organ]
Locked inside his tower
Surrounded by machines
Talking to reflections
Living in his dreams
Every wire connected
Every switch in place
Searching for the answer
To the human race

[Pre-Chorus]
[Snare Roll, Rising Synth, Layered Vocals]
One more spark
(One more scream)
One more broken laser beam
(One more cure)
One more lie
(One more reason not to die)

[Chorus]
[Full Band, Heavy Drums, Distorted Guitar, Choir Vocals]
Man, a mad scientist
(With an evil twist)
Man, a caged lab rat
(Us… imagine that)
Man, he pulls the strings
(Over everything)
Man, he lights the fuse
(Then we all lose)

[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo, Guitar Echoes, Mechanical Percussion]

[Verse 2]
[Beat Drops Back, Dark Piano, Pulsing Bass]
Working through the midnight
Under flashing lights
Drawing up equations
Building bigger fights
He says it is for progress
He says it is for peace
But every new invention
Makes the pressure increase

[Pre-Chorus]
[Building Tension, Cymbal Swells, Layered Harmony]
One more drug
(One more gun)
One more race that can’t be won
(One more wall)
One more war
(One more thing we’re fighting for)

[Chorus]
[Full Band Returns, Bigger Synths, Double Kick Drums]
Man, a mad scientist
(With an evil twist)
Man, a caged lab rat
(Us… imagine that)
Man, he breaks the chain
(Only to restrain)
Man, he sells the cure
(Then invents the plague)

[Bridge]
[Half-Time Beat, Dark Synth Drone, Whispered Vocals]
Inside the laboratory
Nobody hears the screams
Nobody sees the shadows
Hiding in the steam
The test tubes keep on breaking
The warning lights all glow
But nobody stops the madness
Because nobody wants to know

[Bridge Build]
[Drums Return, Rising Strings, Choir Swell]
Mad
(Not angry)
Mad
(Plain crazy)
Mad
(Still building)
Mad
(Still waiting)

[Guitar Solo]
[Wild Guitar Solo, Organ Stabs, Heavy Tom Drums]

[Final Chorus]
[Massive Chorus, Layered Vocals, Orchestra, Heavy Distorted Guitar]
Man, a mad scientist
(With an evil twist)
Man, a caged lab rat
(Us… imagine that)
Man, he owns the game
(But we’re not to blame)
Man, he shuts the door
(While we beg for more)

Man, a mad scientist
(Still inside his cage)
Man, a mad scientist
(Writing history’s page)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro, Fading Organ, Siren Synth, Slow Heartbeat Percussion]
Mad
(Not angry)
Mad
(Plain crazy)
Sad
(All’s going hazy)
The mad scientist

[Intro]
[Low Drone, Pulsing Bass, Distant Guitar Harmonics, Minimal Beat]
The questions return
(One final time)
The lights are oh so low
(Answers can’t wait)
You know…
(Can’t be too late)
[Instrumental Build: Organ Swell, Snare March, Tremolo Guitar]

[Verse 1]
[Duet, Steady Beat, Deep Bass, Atmospheric Synth, Piano Chords]
I walked through the system
I carried the weight
I searched for the meaning
I challenged my fate
Every test and trial
Every wrong and right
Every step behind me
Brings me here tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered Vocals, Rising Cymbals, Synth Swell]
The numbers have been counted
The lines have all been drawn
Now the final silence
Waits before the dawn

[Refrain]
[Driving Beat, Punchy Drums, Layered Vocals]
Well, do tell
(Pass or fail?)
Epic flail…
(Or prevail?)
Well?

[Verse 2]
[Driving Bass, Organ Flourish, Guitar Echoes]
I learned from every failure
I learned from every scar
I mapped the hidden distance
Between here and who we are
No answer came so easy
No truth arrived complete
But every broken pathway
Still led me to my feet

[Pre-Chorus]
[Snare Roll, Rising Strings, Whispered Vocals]
The clock is still ticking
The shadows still remain
But I can hear the future
Calling out my name

[Refrain]
[Full Band, Bigger Drums, Choir Vocals]
Well, do tell
(Pass or fail?)
Epic flail…
(Or prevail?)
Well?

[Bridge]
[Half-Time Beat, Dark Synth Drone, Piano Arpeggios]
Maybe there is no “final” answer
But we’re being graded on our score
(I’m starting to see…)
Perhaps most importantly
It’s becoming something more
(Through the static and the noise)
Through the posing and poise
(Through the doubt and through the fear)
Is it surprising?
(Can you feel the signal rising)
I can see the ending here

[Guitar Solo]
[Lead Guitar Solo, Organ Layers, Heavy Tom Drums]

[Final Refrain]
[Massive Chorus: Full Orchestra, Layered Choir, Heavy Drums]
Well, do tell
(Pass or fail?)
Epic flail…
(Or prevail?)
Well?

Well, do tell
(Pass or fail?)
Epic flail…
(Or prevail?)
Well?

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Fading Piano, Synth Drone, Slow Percussion]
The test is done
(Lost or won)
Light… shade
(The answers fade)
The story ends
(Nature mends)
Sane sustains
(And life remains)

The questions fade

[Instrumental Build: Guitar Swells, Bass Pulse, Organ Chords]

[Verse 1]
[Steady Beat, Deep Bass, Light Guitar, Atmospheric Synth]

I traced the hidden lines
Every code revealed a pathway
Every number defined
The signals held their secrets
The echoes told their tale
And in the quiet darkness
The answers started to unveil

Not all is clear, not all is true
The answers wait for you
Every door you open
Shows the next clue

I feel the silent code
Every fear and failure
Every road I’ve strode
The system whispers softly
The truth begins to shine
And every broken pathway
Becomes a sign

Answers lead to insight
Insight leads to choice
Every quiet moment
Amplifies the voice

They twist and intertwine
Yet every hidden corner
Holds a spark that’s mine

Checking every signal

I run through the circuits
Tracing every code
Mapping out my choices
Walking every node
Every thought a number

Every road has a memory
Every town leaves something behind
But there is always one place
You never really leave

[Intro Build]
[Bass enters, drums slowly rise, organ swells]
Home… sweet home
Home… sweet home

[Verse 1]
[Warm acoustic guitar, steady kick drum, soft piano, bass]
Miles of highway in the rain
Different faces, different names
Suitcase full of yesterdays
Still somehow they all remain

Every town has different lights
Different bars and different nights
But every road comes back around
To the place where love is found

Through the dark
Through the storm
There’s a fire
Keeping warm
No matter how far we may roam
Something always pulls us home

No matter where we roam
(We’re home, sweet home)
No matter where we go

And the heart still has room to give
No matter how long we’ve been gone
Home, sweet home

Like they never left at all
Every laugh and every tear
Still feels close when we are here

[Build with choir harmonies, snare lift]
Through the years
Through the change
Somehow everything remains
No matter how far we may roam
Something always pulls us home

No matter where we go

And the heart still has room to give
No matter how long we’ve been gone

Moonlight falling through the trees

Every word we tried to say
Only made it harder walking away

Every touch and every glance
Felt like one last chance
Like a story fading slow
With nowhere left to go

Hold me just a while
Give me one more reason

Still comes back to me and you

(Daydreams we’ll be forming)

[Instrumental Break]
[Extended psychedelic jam, guitar solo, drum fills, bass groove, synth lead]
[Organ stabs, tom fills, subtle hand percussion]
[Call-and-response between guitar and synth]

[Verse 2]
[Heavier bass, walking rhythm guitar, piano accents, soft organ]
Moonlight pouring through the glass
Time moves gently as we pass
Every shadow holds a tune
Every glow reflects the moon

Floating past a thousand lights
Through the quiet city nights
Every dream a tender place
Carved in time and soft embrace

[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmonies, synth rise]
Close your eyes, let go
Float above the undertow
Every color, every gleam
Guides you through this lucid dream

[Chorus]
[Full power arrangement, louder drums, stacked vocals]
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)

Drifting slowly through the night
Everything feels soft and right
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Drop to bass groove, filtered drums, soft organ, whispered vocals]
Float away
Through the haze
Let the night
Carry you always

Every shimmer
Every gleam
Every part of the dream

[Instrumental – Extended Psychedelic Jam]
[Guitar solo, organ swells, bass groove, percussion fills, synth arpeggios]
[Call-and-response between guitar and synth]

[Final Chorus]

Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)

Drifting slowly through the night
Everything feels soft and right
Have sweet dreams
(In all your in-betweens)
I’ll see you in the morning
(Daydreams we’ll be forming)

[Outro]
[Soft bass groove, organ fade, gentle piano, whispered vocals]
Sublime, serene scenes
(Have sweet dreams)
Sublime, serene scenes
(Have sweet dreams)

[Instrumental Intro]
[Soft pulsing bass, muted guitar chops, rising synth filter]
[Warm organ swells, light piano accents]
[Minimal beat with sub bass and brushed snare]
[Spoken Vocal]
Did you think it was sugar?
(Too sweet…)
Or artificial flavor?

[Intro Build]
[Guitar arpeggio, organ stabs, light percussion enters]
Sweet…
(Too sweet…)
Sweet…
(Too, too sweet…)

[Verse 1]
[Driving bass, muted guitar rhythm, soft piano, organ accents]
She walked in like calories on fire
Burning through the room with desire
Every smile a little too bright
Every word a little too light

I chased the glow, I took the bait
Didn’t see the cracks in the plate
Every laugh, a subtle sting
Every touch, a dangerous thing

[Pre-Chorus]
[Tambourine, synth pulse, rising vocal harmonies]
I wanted more
(That’s for sure)
I couldn’t see her
(Through all that glitter)
Hides the debris
(Too much honey)
Leaves a scar
(Should of let ‘er be)
… and stayed afar

[Chorus]
[Full band, stacked vocals, bright synths]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

All the sugar
(Turns to pain)
Should’ve stayed further
(From her vain)

She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

[Verse 2]
[Heavier drums, walking bass, piano stabs, electric guitar]
Late night whispers, early regrets
Promises tangled in silhouettes
I thought it was heaven, I thought it was real
But every delight had its steal

Every kiss a little too sharp
Every glance a poisoned dart
I fell too fast, I gave too much
And got burned by her tender touch

[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmonies, synth rise]
I wanted more
(Then before)
I couldn’t see
(To let her be)
All that glitter
Hides debris
(Should have left her)
Way too much money
(Leaves a scar)
Left me silly
(Shouldn’t have strayed that far)

[Chorus]
[Full power, louder drums, choir vocals]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

All the sugar
(Turns to pain)
Lost it’s flavor
(It was all in vain)

She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Drop to bass groove, filtered drums, soft organ, whispered vocals]
Too sweet to handle
(Too fast to trust)
All ends in scandal
(Then turns to dust)

[Instrumental – Extended Jam]
[Guitar solo, organ swells, percussion fills, synth lead spirals]
[Call-and-response between guitar and synth]

[Final Chorus]
[Maximum energy, soaring guitars, stacked harmonies, crowd chants]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

All the sugar
Turns to pain
Left me wanting
Nothing to gain

She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

[Outro]
[Soft bass groove, fading organ, whispered vocals]
Too sweet…
(Too sweet…)
Left a bad taste…
(What a waste)
Too sweet…

In my haste…
(I forgot to taste)

[Intro Build]
[Guitar arpeggio, organ stabs, light percussion enters]
Sweet…
(Sweet…)
Sweet…

[Verse 1]
[Driving bass groove, clipped guitar rhythm, organ swells]
You held it up for all to see
(Thought it was made just for me)
Shining bright beneath the light
(Calling to me through the night)

Every color, every sound
(Spinning slowly all around)
I was reaching much too fast
(Never thinking it would last)

[Pre-Chorus]
[Tambourine, synth pulse, rising harmonies]
I was rushing
(Pushing too fast)
Never knowing
(Nothing can last)
Now I’m wondering
(What’d I miss)
Still pondering
(A first kiss)

[Bridge]
Oh, the strife of life
(I forgot to take a bite)
Can you give me some insight
(Was it wrong or was it right?)

Did I miss the moment
Did it slip away
Did I miss the flavor
Carried away with savor

[Chorus]
[Full band, stacked vocals, bright synths]
How does it taste
(Did it go to waste)
Was it oh so sweet
(… a real delicious treat?)

Did it melt away
(Before I could say)
That I wanted more
(Than I had before)

How does it taste
(Did I let it go to waste)
Was it oh so sweet
(A delicious treat?)

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar solo, organ stabs, percussion fills]

[Verse 2]
[Heavier drums, walking bass, piano accents]
Now the room is growing dim
And the glass is near the rim
All the things I meant to say
Feel so far away today

Every second disappears
Leaving only little traces here
Like a flavor on the tongue
Gone before the song is sung

[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmonies, synth build]
I was rushing
(Moving too fast)
Never knowing
(Nothing can last)
Now I’m wondering
(What missed trips)
Left what’s pondering…
(Beyond my fingertips)

[Chorus]
[Full power arrangement, louder drums, choir vocals]
How does it taste
(Did it go to waste)
Was it oh so sweet
(… a delicious treat?)

Did it melt away
(Before I could say)
That I wanted more
(Than I had before)

How does it taste
(Did I let it go to waste)
Was it sweet, sweet, sweet
(A real delicious treat?)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Drop to bass groove, filtered drums, whispered vocals]
Maybe next time
(Take it in)
Know where to start
(… when to begin)

Savor every flavor
(Every sound that’s found)
Every little thing goin’ ’round

[Instrumental – Extended Jam]
[Guitar solo, organ run, bass groove, percussion fills]

[Final Chorus]
[Maximum energy, soaring guitar, stacked harmonies]
How does it taste
(Did it go to waste)
Missed a beat so sweet
(A delicious treat?)

Did it melt away
(Before I could say)
That I wanted more
(Than I had before)

How does it taste
(Has it gone to waste)
The sweetest thing
(To pull a heartstring)

In my haste…
(I forgot to taste)
In my haste…

Everything just felt so right

Makes my spinning heart rejoice
