[Start] [Silence 3s] [Intro | A cappella | Spoken Word | Eerie] [narrator: voice: children choir, style: eerie nursery rhyme] ("One, two, the sky is grey," "Three, four, they hide away," "Five, six, the shadows grow," "Where did all the grown-ups go?") [Instrumental Break] [Heavy Piano | Sub-bass pulse | Lento] [Verse 1] [Vocalist | Female | Soft | Clean] The suits are ironed, shoes are tied, They smile with teeth of gleaming white, But something rots so deep inside, A hunger hiding in the light. [Pre-Chorus] [Vocalist | Female | Rising Tension | Breathy] [Build] The skin is slipping— The masks are falling down, They forget how to weep, They forget how to dream, In the dark— They just— SCREAM! [Chorus | Explosive | Dissonant Synths] [Vocalist | Female | Hysterical | Belting] [Drop | Heavy Bass] LOOK AT THE MONSTERS! Wearing the faces of men! EATING THE MAGIC! Never to feel it again! [Power-off drop] [Silence 3s] [Verse 2] [Vocalist | Female | Vulnerable | Trembling] [Quiet Arrangement] They trade their souls for shiny gold, They lock their hearts in iron cages, The stories that they once were told, Are burning on the empty pages. (Where did they go?) [Pre-Chorus] [Vocalist | Female | Hysterical | Gritty] [Build | Syncopated Bass] The skin is slipping— The masks are falling down, They forget how to weep, They forget how to play, In the dark— They just— PREY! [Chorus | High Energy | Chaotic] [Vocalist | Female | Hysterical | Screaming] [Drop | Distorted Bass] LOOK AT THE MONSTERS! Wearing the faces of men! EATING THE MAGIC! Never to feel it again! [Power-off drop] [Silence 4s] [Outro | Quiet Arrangement] [narrator: voice: children choir, style: whispering] ("Seven, eight, it's far too late..." "Nine, ten...") [Vocalist | Female | Breathy Whisper] (They are men) [Fade Out] [End]
