THE DATA CRASH (Needle in the Red)

V5

(Intro - A harsh, high-pitched electronic tone (simulating information static) rapidly oscillates. The beat drops in with a frantic, heavy, industrial rhythm, utilizing sharp electronic claps and a deep 808 bass.) ​(Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) ​(Spoken, low, panicked whisper): Too much input. Too many tabs open. The firewall is failing. Brace. ​(Verse 1 - Rap Flow: The System Overload) ​(Cm) Woke up with a feed of a thousand bad takes, every screen screaming for my attention and my time (Ab) The pressure's a vice grip, crushing the simple thoughts, destroying the peace in my mind with a crime (Eb) I'm drowning in data, man, the bandwidth is maxed out, the system is running on pure heat and on fumes (Bb) Every notification is a debt, a psychological tax that consumes all the quiet in my rooms! ​(Cm) They talk about connection, I talk about the systematic trap of the wire and the leash (Ab) This digital static is tearing down the sanity, killing the silence and the final release (Eb) My neurons are firing at ten times the speed that they're meant to be firing and I'm tired (Bb) I need the power button! I need the entire damn network to be fucking re-wired or fired! ​(Pre-Chorus - The beat becomes completely destabilized and chaotic, accelerating wildly. The synth pitch rises to an unbearable level. The vocal shifts to a sustained, raw scream.) ​(Ab) I CAN'T FUCKING PROCESS! The input is CRUSHING MY DAMN SKULL! (Eb) THE WORLD IS TOO LOUD! I feel the final, sickening PULL OF THE NULL! (Bb) I'M BREAKING THE CODE! I'm losing the FRAME THAT I KNEW! (Cm) I’M ABOUT TO TWEAK! THE DATA IS COMING FOR YOU! ​(Chorus - The Detonation) ​(Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (SCREAMED, highest pitch): DATA CRASH! The needle's ON THE FUCKING RED! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) OVERLOAD! Get the noise out of MY DAMN HEAD! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) I CAN'T STOP THE SHAKE! I'm fighting the MONSTER INSIDE! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) PULL THE PLUG NOW! I GOT NOWHERE TO HIDE! ​(Verse 2 - Screamo Flow: The System Failure) ​(Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (SCREAMED): STATIC! STATIC! STATIC! The vision is FRAGILE AND THIN! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) I SEE THE LIES! The external pressure is CLOSING IN! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) MY REALITY’S GONE! The filter has failed, and I'm LOST IN THE NOISE! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) I HATE THE CONTROL! I HATE YOUR DIGITAL JOYS! ​(Cm) I need the darkness, the silence, the absolute zero point of rest and of calm (Ab) But the phone keeps buzzing, delivering another digital psalm of harm (Eb) I'm screaming at the volume, demanding the world just turn down for a bit (Bb) I'M DONE WITH THE INPUT! I'M DONE WITH THIS SHIT! ​(Outro - The band launches into a final, chaotic, fast riff that accelerates into sustained, aggressive noise, ending with a final, massive, electronic cut.) ​(Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (SCREAMED): SHUT IT DOWN! NOW! NOW! (Cm) (Ab) (Eb) (Bb) (Final electronic cut and silence.)
