Shadows on the Wall

V6

(arpeggiated overdriven guitar intro) (vocals enter, urgent, monotone spoken-sung delivery) Stepping out of the dark and I have been keeping my cool Gotta stay on the ground because I play like a fool It began with a glance, how did it spiral so fast It was only a spark, it was only a spark Now I'm staring at walls and she's locking the door While he's pouring a drink and she's asking for more Now they're fading away and my vision is blurred And I'm losing my grip on every single word (rising tension, driving bassline) But she's holding his hand now He whispers his plan now Set me free (drums crash in, intense emotional vocals) And I just can't breathe, it's breaking me And pulling me under (anthemic, soaring belted vocals, full band) Paranoia, painting shadows on the wall Drowning in a silent call Tripping on the lies you tell Ringing like a broken bell Gravity is pulling me Wake me from this fever dream 'Cause I'm wide awake tonight (instrumental interlude, shimmering synth and driving guitar riff) (urgent, monotone spoken-sung delivery, identical to first verse) Stepping out of the dark and I have been keeping my cool Gotta stay on the ground because I play like a fool It began with a glance, how did it spiral so fast It was only a spark, it was only a spark Now I'm staring at walls and she's locking the door While he's pouring a drink and she's asking for more Now they're fading away and my vision is blurred And I'm losing my grip on every single word (rising tension, urgent) But she's holding his hand now He whispers his plan now Set me free (drums crash in, intense emotional vocals) 'Cause I just can't breathe, it's breaking me And pulling me under (anthemic, soaring belted vocals, full band) Paranoia, painting shadows on the wall Drowning in a silent call Tripping on the lies you tell Ringing like a broken bell Gravity is pulling me Wake me from this fever dream 'Cause I'm wide awake tonight (extended instrumental build-up, soaring synth melody, driving four-on-the-floor beat) (layered anthemic vocals, repeated chant) I see it all (background choir) I see it all (soaring vocal belt) I see it all I see it all (fading guitar riffs and crashing cymbals)
