[Intro] (A thumping, four-on-the-floor kick drum starts alone. Slowly, a grinding, distorted bass arpeggio fades in. Metallic clanking sounds echo in the distance.) [Verse 1] (Vocals are dry, close to the mic, whispered) I run the diagnostic, the screen turns red I traced the wires back to everything you said You were porcelain, static, a fragile design I was the hammer, waiting for the perfect time It’s a cold, dark logic in a terminal state To crush a beating heart just to seal its fate I watched you fracture, I watched you bend Function: Destroy. Beginning to end. [Pre-Chorus] (Synth pads swell, becoming dissonant. The beat drops out for a moment of tension.) Don’t offer me silence Don’t offer me peace I want the correction I want the release I stand at the altar of the damage I do Searching for the code that leads me back to you [Chorus] (Full beat drops. Aggressive, driving energy. Heavy distortion on vocals.) I need a verdict! I am the defect! Guilt is the weapon that I elect! Judge me, break me, tear it apart I am the criminal with the hollow heart! Redemption is a signal that I can’t receive Because you were the only god I could believe! [Verse 2] (Bassline continues, but drums switch to a militant marching snare pattern) Salvation denied, the file is corrupt Save me from the urge to interrupt The clock is ticking on the consequence I’m building up walls, but I have no defense I play the game like the loop never ends Burning the bridges of lovers and friends Tomorrow is a shadow, today is a lie I watch the numbers fall as the moments die [Pre-Chorus] (Rising tension, faster synth stabbing) Don’t offer me mercy Don't cover my eyes I need to be purged of the alibis I’m betting it all on the crash and the burn Tell me where to stand, tell me where to turn! [Chorus] (Maximum volume) I need a verdict! I am the defect! Guilt is the weapon that I elect! Judge me, break me, tear it apart I am the criminal with the hollow heart! Redemption is a signal that I can’t receive Because you were the only god I could believe! [Bridge] (Music cuts to silence. Just a deep, throbbing sub-bass pulse. Vocals are eerie and melodic.) Show me the vector Before the decay Give me the sentence Take me away (Drums slowly build up, double time) I made the calculation I made the mistake What would an angel say? (Scream) Before the systems break! [Guitar/Synth Solo] (High pitched, screeching industrial lead melody) [Chorus] (High energy, relentless) I need a verdict! I am the defect! Guilt is the weapon that I elect! Judge me, break me, tear it apart I am the criminal with the hollow heart! Redemption is a signal that I can’t receive Because you were the only god I could believe! [Outro] (Beat continues but starts to disintegrate/glitch out) I need a verdict! I am the defect! Guilt is the weapon that I elect! Judge me, break me, tear it apart I am the criminal with the hollow heart! Redemption is a signal that I can’t receive Because you were the only god I could be (Sudden silence)
