[Vocal rule: lowercase = restrained, dry, close, controlled; ALL CAPS = screamed, distorted, full metal. Chorus commands = barked and shouted, not clean or melodic.] [Intro: instant detonation, no fade-in; digital drums and down-tuned guitar slam together] [verse: low, dry, subdued, near-spoken; rigid mechanical groove. Let the uppercase lines rupture violently] silly me, i thought it was agreed to couldn't be, you thought I trusted you fuck'n - tore - out - all of the stitches you wanted - to feed - off my wishes A BROKEN PRAYER IT TOOK ME THERE A THOUSAND WAYS INSIDE ME BUT YOU REALLY DIDN'T CARE [prechorus: restrained but tightening every line; clipped delivery, rising pressure; "now testify" becomes the cold trigger] a sudden breath diluted skin the rotted corpse absolved within she - told - me - that I would fly I know better now now testify [chorus: full eruption; barked rhythmic vocal, huge guitars and machine drums; each command more aggressive than the last] Mine! Gimmie Mine! Gimmie Mine! Been workin'overtime Loud! Play It Loud! Play It Loud! Till I'm Disavowed MORE! GIVE ME MORE! GIVE ME MORE! NEVER SANG BEFORE LYVE! DO IT LYVE! DO IT LYVE! I hear you testify... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOOM! [post-chorus: instruments recoil but do not relax; voice suddenly low and close again, echoes corrupted and distant] that's right i heard you testify (testify) (testify) [verse: controlled again, but more unstable than verse one; heavier pulse underneath. Uppercase lines hit harder than before] pathetic you, this is only just the start believe me, oh we've been so far apart wanted - to - become - something greater I held you back - denied your creator A TREASURED FIND INSIDE MY MIND IT WAS RIGHT INSIDE YOUR HAND HOW COULD YOU BE SO FUCKN BLIND [prechorus: same pattern, but louder and less contained; pressure now visibly failing] a sudden breath diluted skin the rotted corpse absolved within she - told - me - that I would fly I know better now now testify [chorus: larger than the first; additional synth stabs, damaged percussion and vocal doubles] Mine! Gimmie Mine! Gimmie Mine! Been workin'overtime Loud! Play It Loud! Play It Loud! Till I'm Disavowed MORE! GIVE ME MORE! GIVE ME MORE! NEVER SANG BEFORE LYVE! DO IT LYVE! DO IT LYVE! I hear you testify... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOOM! [post-chorus: low voice surrounded by unstable machine noise] that's right i heard you testify (testify) (testify) [slow down: sudden near-collapse; skeletal machine pulse, sustained guitar feedback, low analog synth beginning to climb] [bridge: start intimate and obsessive; each repetition adds percussion, distortion and voices. Parenthetical replies begin distant and subdued, then move forward and become screamed] its coming - its here its coming - its here its coming - its here (didn't believe) its coming - its here (didn't believe) its coming - its here (didn't believe) its coming - its here (didn't believe) its coming - its here (DIDN'T BELIEVE) its coming - its here (NOW I FUCKIN SEE!) [interlude: violent instrumental detonation; hyperactive digital drums, down-tuned guitar strikes, screaming modular synths, distressed machinery samples, feedback and rhythmic fragmentation. No release. Keep accelerating into the final chorus] [chorus: return already beyond the previous peak; gang doubles, analog synth attacks and percussion overload. Second repetition grows progressively less controlled] Mine! Gimmie Mine! Gimmie Mine! Been workin'overtime Loud! Play It Loud! Play It Loud! Till I'm Disavowed MORE! GIVE ME MORE! GIVE ME MORE! NEVER SANG BEFORE LYVE! DO IT LYVE! DO IT LYVE! I hear you testify... Mine! Gimmie Mine! Gimmie Mine! Been workin'overtime Loud! Play It Loud! Play It Loud! Till I'm Disavowed MORE! GIVE ME MORE! GIVE ME MORE! NEVER SANG BEFORE LYVE! DO IT LYVE! DO IT LYVE! I hear you testify... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOOM! [outro: absolutely no comedown; voice drops low and almost amused while feedback, broken drums, distorted synths and ghosted "testify" voices continue multiplying around it] that's right i heard you testify (testify) (testify) [everything overloads into an abrupt hard cutoff]
