4. The Filter Is Breaking

[Intro] [Gritty electric guitar riff | slightly distorted] [Drums enter | punchy and raw] [Verse 1] [Bored, deadpan vocal delivery] Apply the serum, put on the smile Keep the routine for a little while Check the lighting, check the feed Give them exactly the ghost that they need I’m a masterpiece of "I’m doing fine" While I’m drowning in your perfect design [Pre-Chorus] [Acceleration | rhythmic palm-muted guitars | building tension] The pressure’s rising, the kettle is screaming I’m done with the pretending, I’m done with the dreaming Tick, tick, boom! [Chorus] [Anthemic explosion | loud distorted guitars | catchy melody] The filter is breaking, I’m letting it go! Everything you wanted, I’ve got nothing to show I’m a landslide, I’m a beautiful mess I’m taking the crown and I’m burning the dress! [Crash cymbal hits] [Verse 2] [Sudden drop to bass and drums only | hand claps] Go on and judge me, I like the view I’m finally doing what I wanted to No more apologies, no more "please" I’m bringing the system down to its knees [Electric guitar feedback] [Chorus] [Anthemic explosion | layered vocals for "gang" effect] The filter is breaking, I’m letting it go! Everything you wanted, I’ve got nothing to show I’m a landslide, I’m a beautiful mess I’m taking the crown and I’m burning the dress! [Bridge] [The Breakdown | music stops | whispered urgency] I used to be afraid of the noise in my head. [Crescendo | guitars building up fast] Now I’m turning it up... Until the world turns red! [Melodic Scream] I AM NOT A PROJECT! I AM NOT A PROJECT! [Guitar Solo] [Raw, aggressive electric guitar solo | high energy] [Chorus] [Final Blast | maximum volume | ad-libs in background] The filter is breaking, I’m letting it go! Everything you wanted, I’ve got nothing to show I’m a landslide, I’m a beautiful mess I’m taking the crown and I’m burning the dress! [Outro] [Fast drum fills] I’m burning the dress! I’m burning it all! [Abrupt trash hit on all instruments] [Feedback hum] [End]
