Holding it in while it claws at your back? Yeah… I know that edge, I stood right there Had to rebuild with nobody to care So miss me with filters, don’t package it clean I don’t want pretty, I want what you mean Say it direct, let it hit how it hits If it came from your life… it don’t need to be fixed ⸻ [CHORUS] (FEMALE CLEAN + MALE BACKGROUND SCREAM LAYERS) talk to me, don’t hold it in Let the rhythm wash away your sin Show me something real (Show me something real) This is where our wounds can heal talk to me, don’t hold it in Let the rhythm wash away your sin Show me something real (Show me something real) I wont judge what I will see Pretend its only you and me Show me something real (Show me something real) ⸻ [BRIDGE → BUILD] (AMBIENT DROP + DISTANT GUITAR SWELLS) (MALE LOW CLEAN — TENSION RISING) You don’t gotta dress it up… You don’t gotta make it sound right… (MALE SCREAM — IGNITION) IF IT’S REAL THEN LET IT SPEAK (DOUBLE KICKS BEGIN — ROLLING BUILD) ⸻ [BREAKDOWN] BLEGH (HEAVY CHUGS + STOP/START RIFFS) (MALE SCREAM — VENOMTHRONE) DRAG IT OUT RIP IT OPEN TRUTH DON’T MEAN SHIT IF YOU’VE NEVER SHOWN IT NO MORE MASK NO MORE HIDING LET IT BLEED WHERE IT FUCKING BLEEDS (HALF-TIME SLAM) SAY IT LOUD SAY IT BROKEN EVERY WORD YOU’VE NEVER SPOKEN IF IT’S REAL — LET IT HURT IF IT’S REAL — PROVE YOUR WORTH ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS — FULL WALL] (FEMALE CLEAN — HUGE / CINEMATIC + SCREAM UNDERLAY) talk to me, don’t hold it in Let the rhythm wash away your sin Show me something real (Show me something real) This is where our wounds can heal talk to me, don’t hold it in Let the rhythm wash away your sin Show me something real (Show me something real) I wont judge what I will see Pretend its only you and me Show me something real (Show me something real) ⸻ [OUTRO] (SOFT STATIC + LOW PIANO NOTES) (MALE LOW CLEAN — FAINT) Real doesn’t ask permission… It shows up anyway.
