[Header Block] [Spatial Audio Cold Industrial Hall] [Vocal Cold Articulate Baritone] [Style Modern Dark Cabaret 4/4 Stomp] [Intro Heavy low piano chords mechanical metallic rhythm hits every second beat] [Verse 1 Low register Intimate] Check the levels dial the shadows down to gray I have swept the messy parts of yesterday away It is a fragile thing this silence a script we must maintain To keep the pulse of progress from the fever in the vein [Pre-Chorus Building Tension Cold Strings] I have marked the floor in iron so you know your proper place There is a mercy in a mask that hides a panicked face The wings are locked the air is thin the lighting is sterile white The only world that matters is the one I keep in sight [Chorus Pounding Authoritative] Oh the peace is a production and I am the only one who stays To watch the static flicker through the heavy concrete haze I have pruned the jagged dialogue I have bleached away the grime Keeping order in the rhythm keeping terror out of rhyme (Keeping terror out of rhyme) [Verse 2 Measured Menacing] I heard a heartbeat in the rafters a ghost within the grain I have always hated actors who could not be house trained If a scene feels a bit frantic if the subtext starts to bleed I just tighten up the pressure till I have the hush I need [Bridge Mechanical Crescendo Clashing Metal] Stay in your light Dont break the frame I have scrubbed the history till I have sanctified your name And if the quiet feels heavy like a tomb without a door It is just the cost of never having to be frightened anymore [Outro Authoritative Spoken-word Narrative] Kill the house lights Run the tape again from the beginning Make sure the screaming is mixed out this time [Ending Abrupt cut to silence]
