[start][ [intro] [Verse 1] [quietly, restrained vocals over a clean, delayed guitar and a prominent, melodic bassline] There's a sedative in the bloodstream A flatline lullaby The colors of the world have bled To grey against the eye This sterile kind of comfort is a cage I wouldn't want you any other way [drop] [riff] [Chorus] [building tension, drums enter with a tom-heavy groove, vocals intensify slightly] But it's not enough, I need the proof Some reaction I can chart I said, I don't love it, but I need it This is a chemical new art To feel the rhythm start [Verse 2] [tense and rhythmic, bass and drums interlock, vocals remain controlled] You can be the catalyst The cure for the mundane We can titrate the pleasure And measure out the strain Say the word and we can start the test Put this emptiness to rest, blend the symptom With the cure inside your chest Till you wouldn't want me any other way [drop] [riff] [Chorus] [full distortion on guitars, powerful and sustained vocals, thunderous drums] But it's not enough, I need the proof! Some reaction I can chart! I said, I don't love it, but I need it! This is a chemical new art! To feel the rhythm start! [Bridge] [music becomes hypnotic and repetitive, over a complex instrumental groove] There's a certain kind of poison In a cure that you repeat You forget what you were chasing In the bitter and the sweet [Guitar and Bass Solo - intricate and weaving] How can this fix anything for me If the side effects are all I get to see? [brief guitar and drum solo] [Outro] [vocals start restrained and build in desperation and intensity with each line] Just a single drop to start… Show me that you need this and that we can't be apart… Now a steady, measured dose… Relax, come closer, hold me close… Till the vial is empty now… [powerful, sustained vocals] Let's see if we feel something, anyhow. Just a little deeper now… [final line delivered with a cathartic scream] Relax, let go, and take a bow.
