[intro] Yeah… I came from the noise— Now I'm making noise. [Verse 1] I got a head full of static and a heart full of what you need, Everybody wants the crown, but nobody wants the battle with me. I was down in the shallows where the streetlights go out, Back then it wasn't about fame, we were standing on business, trying to rack up some clout. Everything in my life got flipped and changed, When people actually wanted to hear my opinion when I spoke it over 808s. [SCRATCH — “808!”] Late nights, no sleep, sometimes got me feeling exhausted, but if you want to play the game it will cost ya, no time to stop and enjoy anything, why do we keep pretending? They said, “Boy, slow down,” but I never learned the brakes, So I turned every one of my scars into another page. [DJ Chops Vocals] turn the, turn the, turn the, motherfuckin', [VINYL STOP] PAGE. [PRE-CHORUS — CLEAN VOCAL / ATMOSPHERIC GUITAR] And I know… I know I'm probably gonna crash… But I'd rather burn bright— [DRUMS BUILD] Than disappear into the black. [CHORUS — MASSIVE ROCK SECTION] SO LET ME SCREAM UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD HEARS! I'm still standing here after all these years! TURN THE AMPS UP— LET THE SPEAKERS BLEED! I don't need your sympathy! I'm made of neon ashes, bright colors now are running through my veins, and were all up, on this energy, lets turn the speakers up till they bleed, if tomorrow comes to kill me! [FULL BAND HIT] I'M GONNA MAKE IT KNOW MY NAME! [TURNTABLISM BREAKDOWN] Everything cuts out except drums and turntables. SKRRRRT—SKRRRRT “NEON…” scratch “ASHES…” scratch “FIRE…” scratch “VEINS…” VINYL STOP BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM Guitar riff crashes back in. [VERSE 2 — RAP / HEAVY GUITAR] staring at the stars, through a cracked window, my mind is racing, it's Trying to figure out what the hell is real. Everybody's got advice when you're losing your mind, But nobody's around when you're crossing that line. I learned more from the failure than the victories had ever showed, Every door they slammed in my face, became another opportunity to me that i couldn't let go to waste, Now the room goes quiet when I step inside, Not because I'm reckless— It's because I finally got no demons left inside, nowhere left for them to hide. they have already picked my bones until they were dry, [SCRATCH — RAP VOCAL CHOP] “Nowhere—nowhere—nowhere—” [GUITAR DROP] LEFT. FOR THEM. TO. HIDE. [BREAKDOWN — HALF-TIME] Guitar feedback. Low electronic pulse. Maybe I'm broken… [SCRATCH] Maybe that's okay. Maybe every piece of me— [DRUM HIT] Was built this way. [Silence.] [WHISPER] You wanted the old me? [VINYL STOP] well, that's to bad, because you fucking killed him! [FINAL BREAKDOWN — FULL METALCORE] BOOM. I'M DONE RUNNING! BOOM. I'M NOT HIDING! BOOM. I SAID, IM RIGHT HERE COME AND FIND ME! BOOM. NOW WATCH ME LIGHT UP THE SKY! DESTINY IS ON THE HORIZON, STEP UP, NO NEED FOR ME EVEN TRYING, THIS ONE IM GOING IN BLINDLY, THERE MAY STILL BE A CHANCE THAT I CAN RESTORE SOME OF MY FAITH! Guitars chug. Turntables scratch between every hit. SKRRRRT—SKRRRRT—SKRRRRT [FINAL CHORUS — EVERYTHING AT ONCE] SO LET ME SCREAM UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD HEARS ME, I'M SAYING THIS CLEARLY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IM STILL STANDING HERE TURN THE AMPS UP, to 11! the beat has already Tapped My Spine!— LET THE SPEAKERS BLEED! (bleed out all night, into the morning.) I DON'T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY! (and I don't want it!, take it back from me! watch the color flow through the lifestream!) I'm made of neon ashes, GLOWING ALLL through my veins, "If tomorrow is coming to kill me anyway, well then, I guess he is a little bit early, because the motherfucker is here to kill me today!" I've got my sword drawn, and I guarantee that.. I'M GONNA MAKE IT KNOW MY NAME! [OUTRO — DJ + GUITAR] Guitar sustains. Beat gradually disappears. SKRRRRT… Yeah… Still here. SKRRRRT… Still loud. SKRRRRT… Still breathing. Needle lifts. CLICK. [VINYL STOP]
