🐦‍⬛ SHRAPNEL BASKET 🐦‍⬛

[Intro | Whispered, airy, uncertain, distant reverb tails, soft breath texture underneath]
Na-ohh-oohh-oh,oh - Na-na-ohh-ooh-oh,oh
Na-ohh-oohh-nah-
Na-ohh-oohh-oh,oh - Na-na-ohh-ooh-oh,oh
No-
…no-

[Instrumental Intro | Palm-muted guitars tight and rhythmic, slow beat, quarter hi-hat, ghost notes + rim hits, mechanical pulse, 5–7 bars building tension.]

[Verse 1 | Close vocal, slightly dry, restrained delivery, instruments minimal and pulsing.]
I’m just hell-in a shrapnel-basket-
Yeah-it’s there-
…always-exact-
Can’t even tell-who the world is mad-at-
Faces blur-
…same stare-
Bet-no clue-
…but I still feel it-
Rotting slow-
…conceal it-
Bury it low,...

[Pre-Chorus 1 | Slight lift, guitars widen, bass more present, tension building but still controlled.]
Just a stray-bullet-left alone-in the clip-
A couple pages-ripped up-
story-slips-
Too tough-to hold-
Too rough-drop cold-
Just too-much-
for anyone-close-

[Distorted Vocal Layer | Vocals slightly crushed, vacuum-like, hollow space effect, layered doubles drifting out of sync.]
Just hell-in a shrapnel-basket-
One step closer-to fucking-fantastic-
Just hell-
…still shrapnel-
…still static-
Made my home-in a scrap-metal-casket-

[Chorus 1 | Full band opens, heavier drums, wider guitars, vocals still intelligible but more force behind them.]
I’m bottleneck-busting-out of this jar-!
Had enough-trusting-now I scar-!
Transparent walls-surrounding me-
Trading pain-for melancholy-
Cracking glass-inside my chest-
Every breath-rots past my lips-
I’m still here-
… barely-held-together-

[Instrumental Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 2 | Driving forward, bass more active, drums pushing, slight urgency increase.]
I’m just an acrid taste-on your tongue-
An arsenic-laced-galvanizing toxin-
Just a bitter taste-desensitizing-everyone-
Bleeding into breath-yeah-you’re breathing in what I’ve become-
Keep speaking to me-
…you’re choking on my decay-

[Distorted Break / Layered Vocals | Aggressive layering, slight glitch or stagger, tension spike.]
Hell-
…in a shrapnel-basket-
Hell-
…still guts out fragments-

[Breakdown | Punchy, aggressive, drums forward, vocals sharp and forceful.]
Poisoning anything-in reach-
STOP-TALKING TO ME-
STOP-REACHING AT-ME-
Just blood-sludge-in a slag-wound-
Flaking-off-
On a paper heart-for kindling-
Stop talking to me-
…what are you doing-?

[Chorus 2 | Biggest section, full energy, layered vocals, wide mix, emotional peak.]
I’m bottleneck-busting-out of this jar-! (blast apart)
Had enough-trusting-now I scar-!
Transparent walls-
cracking-stretching-in the dark- (nasty shards)
Nothing left-to keep me-in place-
Slipping-into a bleeding-starscape-
No life-
…in what I leave behind-
Rotting-every mind-
-nothing left-to save-

[Final Overlap Layer | Chaotic vocal stacking, phrases overlapping, intensity cresting.]
A puddle-of shit-left in membrane-
(Digesting-!) - (EVERYTHING-!)
(Leaving-NOTHING-!) - (ROTTED-OUT-MEAT-!)
Hell-
…still in a shrapnel-basket-

[Outro | Half-time, palm-muted guitars dragging, drums slow and heavy, everything dissolves into silence.]
Palm-muted-heartbeat-
dragging-through-metal-
Chords-smolder-
then-fade-
…still hell-
…still shrapnel-
…still-
…me-
