I AM VICTOR (Song 1, Act 2)

Hard rock with blues-rock influences, Distorted electric guitars play syncopated riffs and power chords, A gritty, raspy male vocal delivers the lyrics with aggressive energy, The drums feature a heavy backbeat with prominent crash cymbals and a driving kick pattern, An overdriven bass guitar follows the guitar riffs closely, The track includes a bluesy electric guitar solo with heavy vibrato and pentatonic runs, 115 BPM, 4/4 time signature

[Intro]
I am not sure what I see.
I am Victor. The world is still my stage...

Twelve years ago my pop's money let me play the most.
So I started drawin' blood, takin' names making black-tie toasts.

Now, every dollar I hold reeks of somebody's grief.

I was worse than a butcher, worse than a thief.

I am Victor...

[Verse 1]
A mountain of cash built on sorrow and pain.
Me, sitting alone tryin' to wash the stains...
I used every hand that I ever shook.
Added up all my sins in a ledger book.
Now something is splitting, my mind keeps me awake.
And I reel from the feeling and sink from the...
WEIGHT.

[Pre-Chorus]
Amends don't come cheap, so I overpaid...
For this run down space, from a shakedown queen with a pretty face.
Set her up where she can sleep easy, where she can be safe.
Before the pin drops...
I can save face.
Before the pin drops...

[Chorus]
I'm changing my skin I'm burning all my bridges!
But the fire I'm gonna light will sear the fringes!
The money may be dirty, the blood may not clot!
Takin' what they paid me and making this firecracker HOT!
I'll bring them here, to this dismal space!
I AM VICTOR!
The world is my stage!

[Verse 2]
I don't know how to talk, but know how to lie.
Don't know how to love, but know how to buy.

Don't know how to feel, but know how to hurt.
Don't know how to care, but maybe there is a...

FIRST...

TIME starts to move, and my hands are still RED.
But my mind is FED and for now....
I am Victor INSTEAD.

I I I am Victor

[Bridge]
Wait. Did you hear it?
It pounds in my chest trying to speak.
It freezes me in place, it makes me weak.

... twelve years of ice in my veins.
Sitting with the greedy seeking fame.
Now, I think of this pretty bartender and her little schemes.
But can a monster like me enter her...DREAMS

I AM VICTOR!

[Chorus 2]
I'm changing my skin I'm burning all my bridges!
But the fire I'm gonna light will sear the fringes!
The money may be dirty, the blood may not clot!
Takin' what they paid me and making this firecracker HOT!
I'll bring them here, to this dismal space!
I AM VICTOR!
The world is my stage!

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Thirteen days.

They will be calling to know.

Scared of what's coming?

Nah, Victor has it under control.

I hope the sun is warm on her beach.

I really do wonder what the little shakedown queen has been up to?

I am Victor.
And for now........ the world is still my stage.
