Exorcise Me Candyrot with Olde Oak and The Mesquites
[vocals: dark contralto female lead, breathy whispers to distorted belts, subtle male background textures] [genre: indie folk rock + industrial metal fusion] [control: dynamic, no-repeat] [intro: distant banjo pulses + low industrial hum] Hey… (breath) [verse: intimate, trembling delivery] Something’s off inside my head, Sheets like anchors on this bed. Your poison settles in my veins, I start to crave the pull of chains. [pre-chorus: rising tension, whispered ritual tone] Scratch these symbols in my skin, Call it love, they call it sin. Hold me under, consecrate, Turn devotion into fate. [chorus: explosive, distorted lift] Tie me down in your holy sheets, Break me open till I believe. Draw your circles at my feet, Say my name till the demons leave. Yeah—make ‘em leave… [verse: steadier groove, banjo + percussion drive] Cold steel closing on my wrists, Caught inside your dangerous twist. Every word, a loaded kiss, Every warning I dismiss. [verse: expanded, more melodic phrasing] Got me speaking strange, crawling your walls, Echoes of your voice down empty halls. Every touch like a vow, every breath like a curse, Every night pulls me deeper, every morning feels worse. Still I’m begging for more, down on my knees, Like a sinner who don’t wanna be released. If your mercy’s a cage, I’ll take the key— I’d rather be bound than set free. [chorus: layered harmonies, added distortion] Tie me down in your holy sheets, Break me open till I believe. Draw your circles at my feet, Say my name till the demons leave. [bridge: stripped, heavy breathing + sub bass swell] In the quiet, in the dark, Your fingerprints leave their marks. Shaking through my bones tonight— Better shattered than alone in the light. [breakdown: percussive, industrial hits + vocal fry ad-libs] (break me…) (take me…) (push me…) [post-chorus: chant-like, ritual loop] Cross my heart, don’t let me lie, Mark me where the angels hide. Etch your will into my chest, Let possession do the rest. [verse: final escalation, full instrumentation] Write my name across your floor, I’m the echo you can’t ignore. Every mark, a vow we keep, Every scar runs bone-deep. I’m the offering, you’re the blade, Every piece of me remade. If I’m ruined in your hold— Let that ruin take me whole. [instrumental: horn swells + distorted guitar solo] [chorus: final, full energy release with horns] Tie me down in your holy sheets, Break me open till I believe. Draw your circles at my feet, Say my name till the demons leave. [outro: stripped reprise, fading breath + acoustic] Tie me down… (soft) Make me believe… Let the silence finally leave…
