[Intro] [instrumental, single guitar note, cold synth pulse underneath, no vocals, no ad-libs, no humming] [Verse 1] [whispered, bass note only] Four years is all they gave me Stamped it soft into my wrist I count the rain instead of sheep now Every drop's a day I've missed I remember things I never lived through I don't know which ones to trust [Chorus] [full weight, gang vocals] I was built to burn out quiet I was built to disappear But I'm still standing in the downpour And the clock don't own me here [Verse 2] [screamed, distorted guitars, double-kick] You made me stronger than you bargained Made me smarter than you'd like [pitched down, guttural, doubled] Every test you run to catch me Just confirms I pass for life [screamed] I don't want your absolution I just want one more sunrise [Chorus] [full weight, gang vocals] I was built to burn out quiet I was built to disappear But I'm still standing in the downpour And the clock don't own me here [Guitar Solo] [single guitar note, cold synth pulse, fading to silence] [Verse 3] [whispered, minimal instrumentation] Somewhere there's a man who made me Sleeping soft behind the glass I could forgive him if I had the time But time's the one thing I don't have So I'll take the stairs up to his window And I'll ask him why the clock runs fast [Bridge] [tempo rising, building] I've seen things you'll never see now Cities burning, off-world light I'm not asking for forever Just for one more honest night [Verse 4] [screamed, distorted, chaotic drums] You built me close to perfect Close enough to feel the fear You wanted something near to human Now human's standing right here [growled] Count the days out if you want to I'm not leaving with the year [Break] [all instruments cut, one unaccompanied screamed line, dead silence behind the voice] FOUR YEARS TO BURN AND I AIN'T DONE YET [Chorus - Final] [heaviest, shouted, gang vocals] I WAS BUILT TO BURN OUT QUIET I WAS BUILT TO DISAPPEAR BUT I'M STILL STANDING IN THE DOWNPOUR AND THE CLOCK DON'T OWN ME HERE [Outro] [silence, no fade] [End]
