[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)
\n[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nLines drawn in the static, shifting as we speak
\nEvery \u201cno\u201d\u2019s a whisper, every \u201cyes\u201d is weak
\nPressure in the silence, building in the chest
\nEvery path\u2019s a wager, never knowing best<\/p>\n
Clocks don\u2019t care for questions, only forward motion
\nTime cuts clean through doubt and hesitation<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nWeigh it in the moment, let it tip or break
\nEvery breath a risk we have to take<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)
\nCaught in the tension of a permanent thought
\nWhether we choose
\nOr whether we\u2019re caught<\/p>\n
[Post-Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nEchoes of decisions ringing in reverse
\nEvery cure\u2019s a cause and every blessing curse
\nRunning out of reasons, running out of space
\nEvery answer splinters when we try to face<\/p>\n
If the edge is where the meaning starts to show
\nThen maybe standing still is choosing \u201cno\u201d<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel it in the fracture, hear it in the strain
\nEvery loss and gain is just the same<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)
\nSpinning the wheel that we never forgot
\nWhether we rise
\nOr whether we\u2019re not<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break]
\n[Organ Swell \u2192 Synth Lead \u2192 Guitar Harmonics]
\n[Drums Drop \u2192 Rebuild with Tom Pattern and Bass Pulse]<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Expansion]
\n[Guitar Solo \u2013 soaring, chaotic]
\nIn case you didn\u2019t know\u2026
\n(Here we go!)<\/p>\n
[Spoken \/ Layered Vocals]
\nEvery second splits in two
\nOne for me and one for you
\nEvery choice divides the line
\nTill there\u2019s no more yours or mine<\/p>\n
[Build]
\n[Percussion Intensifies, Double-Time Hi-Hats]
\nWhether we fall or whether we climb
\nWhether we\u2019re lost inside of the time<\/p>\n
[Climax]
\n[Full Band \u2013 Distorted Guitar, Synth Lead, Driving Bass]
\nChoose\u2014
\nOr be chosen by the drift<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)
\nBurn in the question or cut through the knot
\nWhether we are
\nOr whether we\u2019re not<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Stripped Down \u2013 Piano + Low Synth Drone]
\nWhether\u2026
\nOr not\u2026<\/p>\n
