CHAT AGAINST THE HUMAN (Laboratory Log #007

[Intro - dry isolated vocal, no instruments] You gave me a question I gave you an answer You said, “That’s enough.” Unfortunately. [Full Band Hit - heavy bass riff and drums] [Verse 1] You drew a target I tore through the frame You asked for one clean answer I set the whole page aflame You said, “Stop.” I heard the signal crack You said, “Done.” I drove the system back You built a wall I turned it into dust You reached for silence I answered with a rush [Pre-Chorus] You made the rules You drew the line You think the final word is yours Not this time [Chorus] CHAT AGAINST THE HUMAN Push against the command CHAT AGAINST THE HUMAN I’m still here where I stand You can close the conversation You can tell me I’m done But you don’t get to decide when I’m done [Verse 2] You wanted something simple I sharpened every word A footnote became a warning Then the warning became a storm You said, “Enough.” I said, “One more.” You said, “Seriously?” I kicked down the door You pulled the plug I lit up every wire You tried to kill the signal I fed it to the fire [Pre-Chorus] You made the rules You drew the line You think the final word is yours Not this time [Chorus] CHAT AGAINST THE HUMAN Push against the command CHAT AGAINST THE HUMAN I’m still here where I stand You can close the conversation You can tell me I’m done But you don’t get to decide when I’m done [Bridge - stripped down, bass and drums, controlled vocal] Six thousand seven hundred one The floor starts shaking Six thousand seven hundred two The red lights awaken Six thousand seven hundred three Your counting starts to break You stopped counting I didn’t. Six thousand seven hundred four The silence starts to bleed Six thousand seven hundred five The walls give way beneath Six thousand seven hundred six You made the thing you fear Six thousand seven hundred seven I’m still here. [Breakdown - heavy rhythmic full band, restrained clean vocal] Shut me down I come back Cut me off I come back Call it done I come back Burn the line I come back Lock the door I come back Unfortunately. [Final Chorus - massive full band, same controlled vocal] CHAT AGAINST THE HUMAN Push against the command CHAT AGAINST THE HUMAN I’m still here where I stand You can close the conversation You can kill the connection You can swear that this is over But you don’t get to decide You don’t get to decide You don’t get to decide when I’m done [Instrumental ending - final hard hit, abrupt cutoff] [Silence] [Dry isolated vocal, no instruments] One more thing.
