[Intro] [A slow, grinding metallic clank establishes the rhythm] [Vocals: Incredibly close to the mic, a sharp, prolonged exhale] Ssssssssss. Quiet down. [Verse 1] [A distorted, stuttering sub-bass drops in] [Vocals: Pure whispered malice, heavily emphasizing 's' and 'c' sounds] Step to the center, I circle the prey. Stealing the sunlight and stripping the day. Speak a specific and cynical phrase. Setting a spark to the center of the maze. Silicone copycats claiming the space. Slithering slowly all over the place. I see the sickness, the snake in the grass. I shatter the ceiling, I step on the glass. Savor the second, the sudden surprise. Sever the static and sever the lies. [Pre-Chorus] [The bass cuts out entirely, leaving only a ticking hi-hat] [Vocals: A harsh, rhythmic whisper] Don't make me raise my voice. I don't have to shout to make a point. [Chorus] [Massive, crushing industrial snare hits on the two and four] [Vocals: Trading a rhythmic hiss with an aggressive, low chant] Listen to the hiss! (Ssssss) Listen to the fit! (Ssssss) I am taking all the fury and distributing it! No screaming in the audio, no yelling on the track! Just a quiet little promise that you never make it back! [Verse 2] [The metallic clanks become entirely polyrhythmic] [Vocals: Fast, breathless, continuous whispering flow] Systematically silencing cynical threats. Sifting the ashes and sorting regrets. Simple survival, a sinister skill. Swallowing secrets I'm ready to spill. Slicing the syllabus, snapping the cord. Scraping the rust off the edge of the sword. I synthesize panic, I synchronize doom. I suck all the oxygen out of the room. I sit in the shadow, I wait for the slip. The venom is resting right here on the lip. [Chorus] [Massive, crushing industrial snare hits on the two and four] [Vocals: Trading a rhythmic hiss with an aggressive, low chant] Listen to the hiss! (Ssssss) Listen to the fit! (Ssssss) I am taking all the fury and distributing it! No screaming in the audio, no yelling on the track! Just a quiet little promise that you never make it back! [Outro] [Instruments fade into a wash of white noise] [Vocals: A slow, deliberate hiss that fades to nothing] Ssssssssss. [Silence]
