[Quick fade-in intro – muted guitars swell, bass rumble, distant drum hits, building tension] [Verse 1 – husky mid-range vocals over steady chugging rhythm, hypnotic lead accents] I am not prim, Nor am i proper. May be like father, cumbersome bother. A ghost to a child, Loved only by mother. A filthy dirty pig man, Led to the Slaughter. [Verse 1 slight variation – vocals more urgent, syncopated phrasing, drums pick up ghost notes] Oh you think you know. No you really don't. Oh i really don't, Know you really, no, Or, really anything, anything at all. (I am just a bother) [Pre-Chorus build – muffled gravelly vocals, bass swells, guitars tighten rhythmically] Put on the happy face. Put on the happy face. Put on the happy face. A smiling happy face! [Chorus – crushing djent rhythm guitars, hypnotic swirling leads, wide stereo] Temporary. Sanity. Surviving. Is killin' me! Temporary. Sanity. All you ever, Want from me! [Quick instrumental transition – short feedback swell, snare flam back into verse] [Verse 2 – ringing sustained guitar notes, roomy drums] Did i not leave any, lasting impressions? So forgetful, So forgotten, Have I rotted? Am i rotten? [Verse 2 variation – polyrhythmic drumming, staggered vocal cadence] I've been, shot down, in cold blood, I've been... [Rest – brief silence then impact hit] Shot down, In cold blood, I've been! [Pre-Chorus build – deep gravelly vocals, hypnotic effects swirling] Put on the happy face. Put on the happy face. Put on the happy face. A smiling happy face! [Chorus – heavy djent rhythm, swirling leads] Temporary. Sanity. Surviving. Is killin' me! Temporary. Sanity. All you ever, Want from me! [Bridge – progressively builds, dirty bass growl, tom-heavy drums] I guess im sludge, must not be seen. I am muddy too unclean [1st Bridge variation – voice strained, feedback swells] You can't wash these stains from me, You cant wash these stains! You can't wash these, stains, from, me, It won't wash away! [2nd Bridge variation – frantic vocality, chaotic drum fills] I'll stab myself now, Right in the back, No satisfaction for you, I'll do it myself! Hand me the knife, Reach arms around back. I'll stab myself first, You'll Get a good laugh! [Pre-Chorus build – breathy husky vocals, tension rising] Put on the happy face. Put on the happy face. Put on the happy face. Smile til it fades! [Final Chorus – epic but crushing, pounding drums, slapped bass, swirling leads] Temporary. Sanity. Surviving. Is killin' me. Temporary. Sanity. All you ever, Want to see! [Heavy Outro – guitars chug, drums slam, vocals raw] I Put it on! For you! Can you see me smiling! For you! Im smiling! [Abrupt end – sharp guitar cutoff, reverb tail fades]
