[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Thunder FX, Distorted Bass Rumble, Echo Guitar Scrapes, Heavy Drum Build]
Rain tapping like a warning sign
Cracks spreading down the line
Everybody laughed before
Now the water floods the floor
[Verse 1]
[Arrangement: Gritty Blues Guitar, Punchy Bassline, Tight Snare Groove, Dark Organ Swells]
They said the damage looked alright
Just patch it quick and dim the light
Cover truth with paint and tape
Hope the storm would change its shape
But the shortcuts leave a trace
Each lie erodes the base
Now the ceiling starts to bend
From neglect we tried to defend
[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Heavy Power Chords, Layered Vocals, Crashing Cymbals, Driving Bass Pulse]
Razed the roof
(Now the reign pours in)
Crazed a spoof
(Now the place is ragin’)
Cut too deep
(And the walls grow thin)
Lost the proof
(Of the state we’re in)
[Verse 2]
[Arrangement: Syncopated Guitar Chugs, Pulsing Synth Bass, Tom-Heavy Drum Pattern, Vocal Delay Effects]
We all knew the score
Still we kicked apart the door
Sold illusion as repair
While the rot spread everywhere
Now the wind screams through the beams
Shattering the borrowed dreams
Buckets filling through the night
Trying to survive the bite
[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Half-Time Breakdown, Low Organ Drone, Sustained Guitar Feedback, Rolling Thunder Percussion]
You can’t tear away the frame
And pretend it stays the same
Every structure needs support
Truth is stronger than report
[Chorus]
[Arrangement: Full Band Explosion, Anthemic Drum Fills, Harmonized Guitar Leads, Massive Vocal Stack]
Razed the roof
(Now the reign pours in)
Crazed a spoof
(Now the place is ragin’)
Storms arrive
(Where the cracks begin)
Now the truth
(Is exposing everything)
[Outro]
[Arrangement: Fading Rain FX, Slow Bass Decay, Ambient Guitar Echoes, Soft Organ Sustain]
Drip by drip the lesson falls
Through the fractured, weakened walls
What we break without repair
Always finds us waiting there.
