[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Distorted Bass Pulse, Organ Swell, Sharp Guitar Chops, Fast Hi-Hat Beat]
[Spoken Vocal, Echo Effect]
Let’s change the music
(Quick!)
… the music!
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Stabs, Organ Burst, Drum Fill]
[Verse 1]
[Steady Beat, Warm Bass, Tremolo Guitar, Atmospheric Synth]
Everything was balanced
Everything was clean
Neutral in the middle
Or so it always seemed
Then something tipped the beaker
Something crossed the line
Something in the mixture
Changed the whole design
[Pre-Chorus]
[Snare Build, Rising Synth, Layered Vocals]
One more drop
One more spill
One more bitter little pill
One more shift
One more taste
One more thing we cannot waste
[Refrain]
I don’t lye
(A strong base)
Turned acidic
(Pathetic)
I don’t lye
(The pH changed)
Turned corrosive
(So deranged)
[Verse 2]
[Driving Bass, Piano Chords, Low Synth, Guitar Echoes]
The metal starts dissolving
The paper burns away
The warning signs are glowing
But no one wants to say
That every small reaction
Can build into a storm
And once the mix goes toxic
It takes another form
[Pre-Chorus]
[Building Tension, Cymbal Swells, Layered Harmony]
One more spark
One more flame
One more shift we cannot tame
One more flaw
One more crack
One more chance we won’t get back
[Refrain]
I don’t lye
(A strong base)
Turned acidic
(Pathetic)
I don’t lye
(The pH changed)
Turned corrosive
(So deranged)
[Bridge]
[Half-Time Beat, Dark Synth Drone, Echoed Organ]
Let’s change the music
[Minimal Piano, Rising Strings]
Before the whole thing melts away
Before the balance cannot stay
Before the poison fills the room
Before we choose a different doom
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo, Organ Swells, Heavy Drum Fills]
[Final Refrain]
[Massive Chorus: Full Orchestra, Heavy Drums, Layered Choir, Synth Bass]
I don’t lye
(A strong base)
Turned acidic
(Pathetic)
I don’t lye
(The pH changed)
Turned corrosive
(So deranged)
I don’t lye
(Too late to hide)
Turned acidic
(From the inside)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Fading Piano, Organ Drone, Slow Bass Pulse]
Let’s change the music
(Quick!)
… the music!
