Afterparty Medicine

V6

[INTRO] [Low, intimate vocal. Dark synth pulse. Clean guitar ambience.] Two drinks past responsible Three texts past goodbye Whole room getting blurry But I never felt more alive [VERSE 1] [Melodic rap. Smooth, cocky, conversational.] Walk in late, everybody knows the face Black tee, bad mood, whisky with no chase She said, “Tyler, you look like trouble tonight” I said, “Baby, you should see me when I’m doing alright” Bass hit hard, got the floor going numb She got both hands around me like she knows what I’ve become Phone keeps buzzing, I don’t check that shit If the past wants closure, tell it wait a little bit [PRE-CHORUS] [Melody rises. Slight rasp.] I keep finding new ways To make the morning wait One more body, one more bottle Anything to stay awake [CHORUS] [Big melodic hook. Catchy, gritty, layered vocals.] Give me something for the comedown Something I can feel right now Turn it up until the room spins I don’t wanna hear myself Keep the lights low Keep the drinks cold Keep me somewhere I can disappear If the night’s my medication Pour another dose right here [POST-CHORUS] [Airy stacked vocals.] Right here Right heeeere Pour another dose right here [VERSE 2] [Melodic rap. More reflective underneath the confidence.] Four AM, still pretending I’m fine Different lips, same demons every fucking time She wants breakfast, I’m already halfway gone Sun coming through the blinds like I did something wrong Laugh too loud when the conversation gets real Tell another joke so nobody asks what I feel Everybody loves Tyler when Tyler’s turned up Nobody knows what happens when the party shuts up [PRE-CHORUS] [More strained than first.] I keep finding new ways To make the morning wait One more body, one more bottle Anything to stay awake [CHORUS] [Fuller vocal. Distorted guitar enters underneath.] Give me something for the comedown Something I can feel right now Turn it up until the room spins I don’t wanna hear myself Keep the lights low Keep the drinks cold Keep me somewhere I can disappear If the night’s my medication Pour another dose right here [BRIDGE] [Production drops. Exposed Tyler vocal. Almost whispered at first.] Truth is— I know exactly what I’m running from I just look better when the neon’s on Everybody thinks I’m having fun [Pause.] Maybe I am. [FINAL CHORUS] [Full rock/trap lift. Tyler belts harder. Vocal cracks allowed.] GIVE ME SOMETHING FOR THE COMEDOWN SOMETHING I CAN FEEEEEL RIGHT NOW TURN IT UP UNTIL THE ROOM SPINS I DON’T WANNA HEAR MYSELF KEEP THE LIGHTS LOW KEEP THE DRINKS COLD KEEP ME SOMEWHERE I CAN DISAPPEAR IF THE NIGHT’S MY MEDICATION— POUR ANOTHER DOSE RIGHT HEEEEEEERE [OUTRO] [Music strips back to synth and clean guitar.] Two drinks past responsible Sun’s already outside Fuck it. One more.
