The Absolute ZERO (I Won't Give Up)

V5

(Intro - The sound of glass shattering abruptly cuts into a fast, distorted synth riff. A deep, heavy trap beat drops in immediately, aggressive and unforgiving.) (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (Spoken, low voice, over the beat): Yeah. Look me in the eyes. This ain't a choice. It's a fundamental law. (Verse 1 - Rap Flow: The Doctrine) (Cm) Check the record, man, I been knocked to the floor so many times (Ab) Left bleeding in the mud, staring at the stolen dimes and the crimes of the system (Eb) They prayed for the flatline, waited for the white flag to drop and quit (Bb) But the concrete doctrine in my soul wouldn't allow one bit of it! (Cm) I'm fueled by the failure, the shame, and the doubt they spit (Ab) Every setback is just more ammo for the pit that I sit in (Eb) You talk about resting? You talk about ease and peace? (Bb) Man, my heart is a piston, the grind will never cease or release its grip! (Cm) This ain't about winning quick, it's about enduring the long game and the pain (Ab) Walking through the fire, screaming through the pourin' rain and the strain (Eb) I look at the future, yeah, the only option I see is clear (Bb) I'm conquering the doubt and destroying every single fear! (Pre-Chorus - The tempo pushes faster. The synth swells with dissonance. The vocal shifts to a strained, raw scream.) (Ab) You offered me the easy way, you offered me the pills and the sleep! (Eb) But I chose the struggle, the promises that I gotta keep! (Bb) I AM NOT A QUITTER! MY WILL IS MADE OF LEAD! (Cm) I'D RATHER BE BROKEN THAN FUCKING BE DEAD! (Chorus - Screamo Vocals dominate. The beat shifts to a heavy, frantic rhythm with crushing 808s and distorted guitar noise.) (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (SCREAMED): I WON'T FUCKING GIVE UP! I WON'T FUCKING GIVE IN! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) I'LL FIGHT LIKE HELL TILL THE DAY THAT I BEGIN TO WIN! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE ZERO! THE END OF THE LINE FOR RETREAT! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) I'LL CONSUME THE PAIN! I'LL DRINK THE DEFEAT! (Verse 2 - Screamo Rap Flow: The Fury) (Cm) They think I'm exhausted? Man, I just reloaded the clip and the gun! (Ab) This isn't a hobby, this is a war that must be fought and won! (Eb) Every fiber of my being rejects the term surrender and rest! (Bb) YOU CAN'T STOP THE MACHINE! I AM PUTTING MY SOUL TO THE TEST! (Cm) I'll scream through the failure, I'll choke on the dirt and the dust! (Ab) Fueled by the hatred and the total lack of trust and gust in the system! (Eb) You saw the low point, now watch the vertical rise and climb! (Bb) I'M TAKING BACK EVERY SECOND! I'M TAKING BACK ALL MY TIME! (Breakdown - The beat slows to a heavy, half-time chug. The guitar is slow and dissonant. Vocals are guttural, sustained growls.) (Ab) (Growled): YOU CAN'T KILL WHAT'S ALREADY DEAD! (Eb) (Growled): YOU CAN'T DROWN THE FIRE IN MY HEAD! (Bb) (Growled): I AM THE REACTION! (Cm) (SCREAMED, long and raw): FUCK YOUR TRANSACTION! (The music slams back into speed) (Chorus - Final, overwhelming, brutal assault. Maximum vocal and instrumental intensity.) (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (SCREAMED): I WON'T FUCKING GIVE UP! I WON'T FUCKING GIVE IN! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) I'LL FIGHT LIKE HELL TILL THE DAY THAT I BEGIN TO WIN! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE ZERO! THE END OF THE LINE FOR RETREAT! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) I'LL CONSUME THE PAIN! I'LL DRINK THE DEFEAT! (Outro - The fast beat returns for a quick, chaotic final burst, fading out into distorted synth noise.) (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (SCREAMED): NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (Final, sharp, heavy, distorted synth and drum hit.)
