Tripping through the vortex (The Hatter Unbound)

Phycodelic, neurofunk, turntablism, baroque violin, psychedelic rock

[Intro: The March Hare]
(It’s time, Hatter—time to slip the scene)
Unlock your madness, the space between
The clock is cracking, the trial’s begun
Alice is fading—you’re the only one

[Sound Effect: Clock ticking fast, accelerating and distorting]

---

[Verse 1: The Hatter]
Tripping through the vortex, landing in a scene (falling down)
A clock with no numbers, a tear through the seam (time unbound)
Through the looking glass, fractured dream (shattered minds)
Tick-tock echoes, splintered gears grind (time slipping)
Echoes of riddles, questions entwine (circling me)
The vortex whispers secrets, of a story untold (secrets in the dark)
A realm of fractured reason, where the hatter unfolds (madness reigns)
In through the vortex, down the rabbit hole (down the hole)
Out through the looking glass, sanity explodes (explosion of sense)

[Sound Effect: Glass shattering, reversed playback effect]

---

[Chorus: The Hatter]
Mind-warped riddles, floating grins and cat's eyes (distorted view)
Shattered reflections, a thousand lies (mirrors of deceit)
Shadows snicker truths I'd rather not know (hidden truth)
Echoes of riddles, questions entwine (circling me)
The vortex whispers secrets, of a world untold (secrets in the dark)
A realm of fractured reason, where my sanity unfolds (madness reigns)
In through the vortex, down the rabbit hole (down the hole)

[Sound Effect: Clock slowing to a stop—mechanical failure sound]

---

[Verse 2: The Hatter's Realization]
Time circles round me, a noose made of chimes (endless toll)
A prisoner of riddles, tangled in rhymes (nonsense binds)
But her voice cuts through like a crack in the glass (Alice's call)
A thread to the surface, a chance to trespass (beyond the veil)
The March Hare screams, "Hatter, it's time!" (tick-tock breaks)
Alice is slipping, the Queen's court aligns (verdict looms)
The Dormouse's dream turns the gears of this land (waking the dreamer)
But Alice is falling—I have to reach out my hand (shatter the cycle)

[Sound Effect: Heartbeat, rapid and panicked, fades out]

---

[Bridge: The Hatter]
Stepping past the ticktocks, past the endless Lines (slip the clock)
Through the cracks of the mirror, a realm undefined (liminal space)
Beyond Wonderland, where the Dormouse dreams (maker's mind)
I'll wake the sleeper, tear open the seams (fractured stream)
If I lose myself, let the chaos reclaim (madness unmade)
But Alice must live, or Wonderland's the slave (breaking fate)

[Sound Effect: Clock hands snapping, chaotic reverb]

---

[Outro: The Hatter]
Echoes of riddles, questions entwine (circling me)
The vortex whispers secrets, of the untold (secrets in the dark)
A realm of fractured reason, where the Hatter unfolds (madness reigns)
In through the vortex, down the rabbit hole (down the hole)
Past the chains of time, past the Dormouse's dream (breaking free)
For Alice, I wake—I tear through the seams (Hatter redeemed)

[Sound Effect: Clock winding backward, fading to silence]

[Sound Effect: Clock winding backward, ]
[fading to silence]

[Fade to end]
