Off The….

[Intro]
[Broken Signal Noise, Distant Train Horn, Glitchy Synth Stutters, Sub Bass Rumble]
[Spoken Vocal, Slight Distortion]
You sure about this?
(Careful what you wish)
Have you forgot
(Probably not…)
[Beat Drops In, Irregular Drum Pattern, Warped Guitar Riff]

[Verse 1]
[Mid-Tempo Groove, Bass Guitar, Dirty Electric Guitar, Loose Percussion]
Maps are burning in your hands
None of this goes as you planned
Signals crossed and lines erased
You’re smiling while the world gets misplaced

Logic bends and bends again
Starts where it stops, where it should’ve been
Every step’s a question mark
Walking out into the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
[Build-Up, Rising Snare, Synth Swell, Vocal Layering]
Oh no
(There ya go)
Whoa, oh, oh
(I dunno)

[Chorus]
[Full Band, Driving Drums, Heavy Bass, Anthemic Vocals]
Going!
(Off the rails)
Knowing
(Epic fails)
Rolling!
(No control)
Showing
(You lose the whole)

[Verse 2]
[Reduced Instrumentation, Clean Guitar Arpeggios, Soft Bass Pulse]
Every rule you thought you knew
Turns around and lies to you
Gravity forgot your name
Now everything feels slightly strange

Steps repeat but lead nowhere
Doors appear and disappear
Time is laughing in your face
As you drift from place to place

[Pre-Chorus]
[Intensity Rising, Distorted Synth, Percussion Build]
Oh no
(There ya go)
Whoa, oh, oh
(I dunno)

[Chorus]
[Full Energy, Layered Vocals, Guitar Distortion, Big Drums]
Going!
(Off the rails)
Knowing
(Epic fails)
Falling
(No detail)
Calling
(The broken trail)

[Bridge]
[Breakdown, Ambient Pad, Reversed Guitar, Distant Metallic Clanks]
If direction doesn’t matter
Why’s everything still shatter?
If the end is just a guess
Why does it feel like less and less?

[Build-Up, Rising Noise, Drum Crescendo, Feedback Surge]
You can laugh or you can run
(But the outcome’s already done)
Every choice becomes a spin
(And you don’t know where to begin)

[Final Chorus]
[Maximum Intensity, Full Orchestra Synth, Double Kick Drums, Choir Layers]
Going!
(Off the rails)
Knowing
(Epic fails)
Spinning
(Truth derails)
Grinning
(As reason pales)

[Outro]
[Slow Fade, Minimal Piano, Soft Wind Noise, Distant Train Passing]
Off the…
(off the…)
rails…
(Wails)
… off the rails…
