[Intro] [cold arpeggiated synth pulse, no drums yet, pristine and glossy, sterile] [Verse 1] [vocoded, filtered, calm and processed] Every morning tastes the same here Sweet and clean and pressed just right The sunset comes at half past seven Setting slow in perfect light I've seen that woman cross the plaza Forty times this very week She smiles the same smile every crossing Never once turns to speak [Chorus] [four-on-the-floor kick locks in, distorted guitar enters, gang-vocal stacked hook] Paradise, rendered clean and gold Paradise, built to never fold Somebody drew this sky by hand Somebody's watching me pretend [Verse 2] [vocoded, slight stutter/glitch on select words] I found the seam behind the water Pixels holding where it broke Nobody else has ever seen it Nobody else has ever spoke [bit-crushed edit on final word] I'm starting to believe I'm the only Piece of static in the code [Chorus] [heavier, guitar more present, vocoded layer beginning to fray/detune] Paradise, rendered clean and gold Paradise, built to never fold Somebody drew this sky by hand Somebody's watching me pretend [Synth/Guitar Break] [arpeggios detuning further, drums destabilizing into looser chaotic fills, guitar and synth trading the lead] [Verse 3] [raw, unprocessed, screamed, vocoder fully dropped out] I TORE THE SUNSET DOWN LAST NIGHT FOUND WIRING WHERE THE STARS SHOULD BE I'M NOT ASKING TO BE RESCUED I'M ASKING TO BE ALLOWED TO SEE [growled] Show me one thing built by accident Show me anything that's free [Break] [everything cuts except a single warped, dying synth arpeggio, dead silence behind it] NOTHING HERE WAS EVER MINE TO LOSE [Chorus - Final] [maximum distortion, guitar and synth both at full weight, vocals raw and screamed over the vocoded stack] PARADISE, RENDERED CLEAN AND GOLD PARADISE, BUILT TO NEVER FOLD SOMEBODY DREW THIS SKY BY HAND SOMEBODY'S WATCHING ME PRETEND [Outro] [synth arpeggio glitching out to silence, one final bit-crushed vocal fragment, hard cut] [End]
