[keep vocal in the original range through the song] [🎹 GENRE 1: INTIMATE ART-POP / DREAM BALLAD] [🌑 Feel: vulnerable, reflective, quietly ashamed] [Soft piano, analog synth haze, heartbeat kick] [Spoken, low] Most people need a little love to feel full. [Pause] I think mine leaks. [Verse 1] You can fill somebody gently With a hand, a home, a name A few good hearts can keep them glowing Like a steady little flame They get one call One kiss One room And somehow that can carry through But mine keeps flashing red again No matter what I pour into [Backing Vocals] Low charge Low charge Again [Pre-Chorus: strings slowly rising] You say you love me I believe you too But the meter drops Before the sentence Even makes it through So I reach for another spark Another voice Another light Trying to charge A broken thing All night [⚡ TRANSITION: tape-stop → distorted power surge] [🔥 GENRE 2: Phonk] [⚠️ Feel: restless, compulsive, frantic] [Fast drums, distorted synth bass, angular guitar] [Chorus] 🔋 MY LOVE BATTERY WON’T HOLD A CHARGE YOU CAN FILL IT UP BUT IT FALLS APART One heart Two hearts Ten in a line Everybody’s voltage Still can’t make it mine I want all the warmth All the eyes All the proof And every time I chase it I damage something true [Gang Vocals] CHARGE ME! CHARGE ME! CHARGE ME! [Lead] God, I wish I didn’t need this much [Verse 2: fast, breathless] I collect affection Like emergency power Little bursts of heaven That expire by the hour A message hits I feel alive Then silence comes And there it dies So I go searching For another source Another hand Another set of eyes [Backing Vocals] Connect! Disconnect! Connect! Again! [Lead] And somewhere in the cycle I start hurting People I never meant to bend [🎭 TRANSITION: punk instruments cut → grand piano flourish + choir hit] [👑 GENRE 3: Riddim] [✨ Feel: dramatic, self-aware, darkly flamboyant] [Stomping piano, brass stabs, glam guitar, stacked choir] [Verse 3] Ladies and gentlemen! Step right up! Observe the marvelous bottomless cup! Pour in affection! Pour in praise! Watch it evaporate In seventeen ways! [Backing Choir] More! More! More! [Lead] Applause from the balcony Kisses backstage A thousand bright faces Still nothing will stay [Brass flourish] I take every beautiful person And turn them into proof Then hate myself For turning tenderness Into something I can use [Pre-Chorus: dramatic stops] Maybe I call it abundance [Choir] How grand! [Lead] When sometimes it’s fear With excellent branding Maybe I call it freedom [Choir] How brave! [Lead] While running from silence I cannot behave [Huge glam-rock chorus] MY LOVE BATTERY WON’T HOLD A CHARGE AND I’VE MADE EVERY HEART WORK TWICE AS HARD Nobody should have to shine Every night Just to stop me From fearing the dark [🌊 TRANSITION: crowd noise dissolves → reverb wash → slow bass pulse] [💙 GENRE 4: post-hardcore] [🕯️ Feel: remorseful, tender, accepting] [Rhodes piano, warm bass, strings, gospel choir] [Bridge: soft vocal] Maybe this isn’t hunger for love Maybe it’s fear Of being alone Maybe I keep asking Other people’s arms To make somewhere Inside me Feel like home [Choir, soft] You are loved You are loved [Lead] But love cannot stay If I keep testing it And no one should become A power plant Just to prove I still exist [Build: strings + choir rising] I know the pattern I know the cost Beautiful people Becoming exhausted Trying to charge What I keep draining myself [🌌 FINAL HYBRID: ALL FOUR GENRES MERGE] [Piano + punk drums + glam guitar + gospel choir] [Final Chorus] 🔋 MY LOVE BATTERY WON’T HOLD A CHARGE BUT I DON’T WANT TO MAKE THAT EVERYBODY’S JOB To prove I’m wanted To prove I’m seen To keep some current Running through me I don’t want affection To become fuel I consume I don’t want every person Who loves me To become another room I tear apart [Choir] No more! [Lead] Just to keep the lights on [Choir] No more! [Lead] I want to learn How to sit in the dark Without setting fire To everyone [Outro: Genre 1 returns, piano only] [Soft Vocal] Maybe one day Love can enter And stay Maybe one day I won’t need Everybody To prove I’m okay [🔋 Tiny power-down tone] [Whispered] Low charge. [Final unresolved chord]
