[Rhythm: 78BPM 4/4 Drag Pocket] [Sync: 16th Grid Cohesion] [Syntax: Contractions On] [Harmonic: Gm Aeolian | Gm-Ebmaj7-Bb-F] [Guitar: Organic Fingerstyle, Fret Noise, Pick Attack, Chorus Pedal] [Acoustic: Crisp Stereo Layers] [Drums: Hybrid Trap Kit, Tight Gate] [808: Saturated Mono Sub Glides] [Pads: Warm Lowpass | Mix: -9LUFS] [Vox: Male Fry Lead, Layered Stacks] [Lock: Guitar Drum Vox Alignment] [Humanize: Unquantized, Breath Artifacts] [Latent: Claustrophobic Unanchored Space] [LYRICS LOCKED] [Intro: Low Spoken Fry, Acoustic Guitar, Vinyl Hiss, No Drums] (Yeah...) (You thought you could just leave it behind, didn't you?) (But it doesn't work that way...) [Verse 1: Close-Mic Dry Lead Fry, Skeletal Acoustic Arpeggio, Beat 3 Rim Clicks, No 808] You try to walk away from what we had. You try to change the good into the bad. You tell yourself it doesn't matter now. You say you will forget it all somehow. But you still see the writing on the wall, And you still wonder what you're waiting for. [Pre-Chorus: Strained Tenor, Wide Whisper Doubles, Pad Swell, 16th Hat, 808 Tease] You shut your eyes to make it go away. There's nothing left for you to even say. The past is catching up to you and it is hard to bear, You look around but there is no one there. [Stop: 1-Bar Silence] [Chorus: Intense Rasp Vox, Shout Doubles, Full Hybrid Drums, Mono 808 Sub, Pad Bloom] Look all around, I'm already in your head! Living inside the thoughts that you have fed! You can't forget what we used to be, No matter how you try to let it go! Go on and run but you can never hide, From everything you keep deep down inside! [Verse 2: Staccato Lead, Kick & Rim Only, Palm-Muted Guitar Chugs] The hours pass and you are still awake. Counting the pieces that you had to break. A simple sound is enough to bring it back, There's no escape from what you always lacked. You try to breathe but it is getting harder, Another long and lonely winter night. [Guitar Solo: Open Gm Riffs, Thumb-Pick, Fret Noise, Slapback Delay, Chorus, No 808, Minimal Hats] (Acoustic Guitar Solo) [Bridge: Whisper To Scream Vox, Acoustic Strum Only, Fret Scraping, No Drums, No 808] I don't need your permission to stay. I am the quiet remainder of your pain. You tell yourself that you are doing fine— BUT YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM WHAT IS MINE! [Chorus: Max Throat Tear Vox, Gang Stacks, Wide Stereo Guitar, Heavy 808 Glides] Look all around, I'm already in your head! Living inside the thoughts that you have fed! You can't forget what we used to be, No matter how you try to let it go! Go on and run but you can never hide, From everything you keep deep down inside! [Outro: Low Muttered Fry, No Drums, Guitar Lowpass Filter Sweep, Tape Stop] I'm already here. Inside your mind. Leave it behind. (Tape stop clicks off.)
