[Intro] (Heavy, slow, rhythmic riff. Distorted bass. Whispered vocals, full of tension, slightly distorted) "This is evil." "This is from the church." "Open your mind." "Open your mind." (Drums crash in hard, full band enters with a powerful, driving beat) [Verse 1] (Spoken-word-like vocals, sharp, slightly frustrated, rhythmic over a chugging Nu Metal riff) She looked at me, saw the distortion Said the sound was only perdition "My mom doesn't like rock..." (Pause, cymbal hit) "...'Cause she's from the church!" The weight of the sound, the fear at the table. (Riff gets "dirtier," more aggressive, snare hits hard) She didn't see the art, only saw the "end" She kept telling me: "This is evil, my friend!" I'm not what you think, I'm not darkness at all I'm just the reflection of my inner wall! [Pre-Chorus] (Vocals get louder, more urgent, the bass line becomes more prominent, drums build in intensity) But I didn't stop! I had to explain! "The music is aggressive!" (Quick yell) "BUT THE LYRICS ARE MINE!" Mom, it's just a scream! Trapped in my chest! There's no right or wrong, this is my quest! [Chorus] (SCREAMED, full band, heavy guitars, powerful drums, driving Nu Metal energy. Vocals very aggressive) I WON IN THE IDEAS! I broke the system down! "Now my mom approves of my music!" I WON IN THE IDEAS! (Scream) "IT'S ROCK, MOM!" (Scream) "ROCK HAS TO BE LIKE THIS!" It's just a way to relieve the pain... "RELIEVE IT WITH SCREAMS!" [Verse 2] (Rhythmic, "broken" riff, vocal tone similar to Verse 1 but with more conviction) "She doesn't know why there's aggression" She watches my show, doesn't see the true confession "But I always explain," "it's part of the sound" It's the cure for the pain that the world surrounds! This here heals, Mom, this here doesn't sting It's the pressure valve release that my spirit must bring To let it all out before it consumes! "It's a way to relieve all my mental wounds!" [Pre-Chorus] (Vocals get louder, more urgent, instruments build intensity, anticipation) I sat by her side. I showed her the sheet! "The music is aggressive!" (Quick yell) "BUT THE LYRICS ARE MINE!" Mom, it's just a scream! Nothing so cruel! [Chorus] (SCREAMED, full band, heavy guitars, powerful drums, driving Nu Metal energy. Vocals very aggressive) I WON IN THE IDEAS! I broke the system down! "Now my mom approves of my music!" I WON IN THE IDEAS! (Scream) "IT'S ROCK, MOM!" (Scream) "ROCK HAS TO BE LIKE THIS!" It's just a way to relieve the pain... "RELIEVE IT WITH SCREAMS!" [Bridge] (Heavy, slow, "djent" breakdown. Vocal changes to a low, guttural growl, very powerful) "Now I know how to make true sound." She listens. She understands. "Now I know how to make true sound." The church on one side. The art on the other. I am the link. I am the brother. (EXPLOSIVE SCREAM, full band hit) I BROKE MY MOM WITH IDEAS! [Final Chorus] (SCREAMED, maximum intensity, full band driving hard, most aggressive vocals) I WON IN THE IDEAS! I broke the system down! "Now my mom approves of my music!" I WON IN THE IDEAS! (Scream) "IT'S ROCK, MOM!" (Scream) "ROCK HAS TO BE LIKE THIS!" It's just a way to relieve the pain... "RELIEVE IT WITH SCREAMS!" [Outro] (Heavy riff slows down, fades out with a whispered vocal, slightly distorted) "I won... in the ideas..."
