Scarlet Letters

[Intro: Distorted Industrial Buzz, Slow Heavy Kick Drum, Taunting Female Laughter] [Whispered] Go ahead... say it. I know you want to. [Verse 1: Low-Tuned Chugging Guitar, Mid-Tempo Groove, Sultry Melodic Vocals] You see the paint, you see the mask I wear You judge the way I breathe the heavy air Build your pedestal just to watch me fall But I’m the one who’s standing after all. Write your scarlet letters on my skin I’ll wear them like a crown of original sin. [Pause] Is that all you’ve got? [Pre-Chorus: Rising Synth Siren, Faster Drum Fills, Gritty Vocal Texture] The fire’s getting higher, can you feel the heat? I’m the victory inside of your defeat! [Chorus: Explosive Industrial Metal, Anthemic and Powerful, Distorted Belting] STIGMA! I’m the monster that you made in the dark! STIGMA! I’m the gasoline, I’m the spark! Call me a sinner, call me a saint I’m the masterpiece you couldn't paint! [Screamed Melodically] I OWN THE NAME! [Verse 2: Industrial Beat, Electronic Textures, Snappy and Aggressive] You try to shame the soul you can’t control But I’m the one who’s finally feeling whole. The mud you throw just makes the garden grow I’m the highest high and the lowest low. So keep your whispers, keep your narrow mind I’m leaving all your labels far behind. [Bridge: Slow Down, Heavy Sludge Breakdown, Guttural Whispers to Screams] [Whispered] Dirty. [Whispered] Wicked. [Screamed] POISON! [Screamed] POWER! I AM THE QUEEN OF THE ASHES! [Guitar Solo: Screeching Wah-Pedal Solo, Aggressive and Messy, Industrial Noise] [Chorus: Maximum Volume, Layered Vocals, Heavy Riffing] STIGMA! I’m the monster that you made in the dark! STIGMA! I’m the gasoline, I’m the spark! Call me a sinner, call me a saint I’m the masterpiece you couldn't paint! [Outro: Sudden Drop to Industrial Hum, Fading Heartbeat Drum] [Whispered] Thank you for the crown. It fits perfectly. [Final Industrial Crash] [End]
