[Intro] [single guitar note, faint mechanical drone underneath, servo whine fading in and out, no vocals] [Verse 1] [whispered, bass note only, servo whine faint under the voice] Started with a hand I couldn't feel right Ended with a hand that isn't mine Somewhere in between I stopped counting Stopped keeping track of what was fine The doctor in the basement doesn't ask questions Just asks what you're willing to leave behind [Chorus] [full weight, gang vocals, metallic clank accents on the downbeat] Steel where the heart was Wire where the vein I sold enough of myself already Nothing left to feel the pain [Verse 2] [screamed, distorted guitars, grinding metal-on-metal percussion] They said the eyes would see it better Said the lungs would breathe it clean [pitched down, guttural, doubled] NOBODY TOLD ME WHAT I'D FORGET NOBODY TOLD ME WHAT I'D LEAVE [screamed] I still remember my mother's kitchen I don't remember how to grieve [Chorus] [full weight, gang vocals, metallic clank accents] Steel where the heart was Wire where the vein I sold enough of myself already Nothing left to feel the pain [Guitar Solo] [single guitar note, mechanical heartbeat drone, fading toward silence] [Verse 3] [whispered, minimal instrumentation, drone steady like a monitor] There's a mirror in the chop shop I don't look in it anymore I know what's plastic, know what's metal Know what's real, or was before Somewhere under all the upgrades Is a kid who used to lock the door [Bridge] [tempo rising, building, servo whines layering thicker] I keep asking what percentage Still belongs to who I was Nobody's built a gauge to measure How much of a person's left because of what it does [Verse 4] [screamed, distorted, chaotic drums, grinding metal accents heaviest here] YOU CAN REPLACE THE HANDS THAT HOLD IT CAN'T REPLACE WHAT MAKES THEM SHAKE I'M NINETY PERCENT SOMEONE ELSE'S DESIGN TEN PERCENT STILL AWAKE [growled] THAT TEN PERCENT IS WHERE I'M LIVING THAT'S THE PART YOU CAN'T RETAKE [Break] [all instruments cut, one unaccompanied screamed line, faint heartbeat drone still ticking underneath] TEN PERCENT IS STILL ENOUGH TO CALL IT MINE [Chorus - Final] [heaviest, shouted, gang vocals, metallic clanks doubled] STEEL WHERE THE HEART WAS WIRE WHERE THE VEIN I SOLD ENOUGH OF MYSELF ALREADY NOTHING LEFT TO FEEL THE PAIN [Outro] [mechanical heartbeat drone slows, final clank, silence, no fade] [End]
