Permanent Spell

V5

[intense intro] [Crunching distorted guitar riff, funk slap bass line, heavy drums, dark synth pad] [verse 1] [Gritty, rhythmic tenor vocal over driving funk-rock groove] She moves the room... a silhouette of sin. (Hee!) Every man wants a piece... of the world she's in. They take their turn... and disappear at dawn. Leavin' her beautiful... and so alone. (So alone!) I knew the score... I watched from the side. (Come on!) Said I'd never fall for that... foolish pride. (No!) [pre-chorus] [Tension builds, vocals become more strained, harmonies enter] But her whisper cut... right through the noise. A poison velvet... in a bed of toys. One night slipped... into two, then three. (Oh no...) Tangled in her web... where I can't break free. (Can't break free!) [chorus] [Full band explosion, powerful wailing guitar, layered call-and-response vocals] JANET! (JANET!) You got your hooks in deep! (So deep!) JANET! (JANET!) You stole my will to sleep! (Hoo!) You promise love... but it's a loaded gun! (A loaded gun!) Now the damage is done... oh, and I can't run! (I can't run!) (Aow!) 'Cause I'm caught... in your permanent spell! And this story... I already know too well! (Too well!) [guitar riff interlude] [Crunching main funk-rock riff repeats with drum fills and bass slaps] [verse 2] [Vocal delivery is more desperate, breathy, with rhythmic ad-libs] She felt me driftin'... started changin' key. (Hee!) Talkin' 'bout forever... just her and me. (Just her and me!) Said she wanted somethin' real... to call her own. (Her own!) A little piece of us... a seed to be sown. (No! No!) I played it cool... thought it was a bluff. A desperate gamble... sure she'd called enough. [pre-chorus] [Music surges, vocals shout with raw emotion, harmonies swell] Then the silence screamed... a different kind of fight. (Oh!) The morning proof... beneath the bathroom light. She showed the test... with a victor's grin. My future locked... in a trap of skin. (She got me! She got me!) [chorus] [Even more aggressive, full of anguish, layered harmonies] JANET! (JANET!) You locked the final door! (The door!) JANET! (JANET!) I can't fight this anymore! (Anymore!) You aimed your love... right at my loaded gun! (My gun!) Now the damage is done... oh, and I can't run! (I can't run!) (Shamon!) 'Cause I'm caught... in your permanent spell! And I'm livin' in this... livin' hell! (Yeah!) [extended guitar solo] [Wailing, virtuosic, emotive lead guitar with strong blues-rock feel, full of bends and aggression, over the heavy funk-rock groove, includes call-and-response with vocal ad-libs (Hoo! Aow!)] [bridge] [Music drops to a tense, pulsing synth and funk bass, whispered, strained vocals with close harmony] She holds the proof... a tiny, helpless lie. (A lie...) That has my eyes... and I can't deny. (I can't deny...) The spell is cast... in flesh and bone, you see. (You see...) There's no more "me"... there's only "we" eternally. (Oh God... eternally...) [outro chorus fade] [Chorus repeats with fading, desperate energy, complex ad-libs and harmonies over the fade] JANET! (JANET!) This chain will never break! (Never break!) JANET! (JANET!) For heaven's and my sake! (My sake!) You built your cage... right 'round my loaded gun! (My gun!) Now the damage is done... oh, and I can't run! (Can't run!) (Hoo! / Aow! / Forever! / Her spell! / Jam on it! / Too bad!) [Fade on repeating guitar riff, bass slaps, and layered vocal ad-libs]
