[Intro] [Piercing feedback tone cuts into a heavy, distorted breakbeat] [Vinyl scratch, repeated three times] [Low male vocal, spoken] Too loud. It is way too loud. [Verse 1 - Male] The alarm clock drills a hole right through the bone I am paying off the interest on a broken home Step out to the street and choke on the exhaust Calculating every fraction of the daily cost The sidewalk is a grinder chewing up the shoe I am staring at a sky of artificial blue Every single shoulder bumps me in the crowd Every single conversation happening too loud I can feel the temperature rising in the skin Waiting for the awful revolution to begin [Drop - Female Wail] [Music completely cuts out for one second] [Explosive brass stabs return with a soaring, wordless female vocal wail] Oh! Let it break! Let the pressure drop! Let the engine shatter and the city stop! [Verse 2 - Male] [Beat switches to a frantic, stuttering rhythm] I grip the steering wheel until my knuckles ache Wondering exactly how much more a mind can take The headlines are a steady drip of sheer despair I am suffocating on the heavy transit air Push me to the margin, push me to the edge I am standing on a psychological ledge I need the heavy bass to rattle out my brain I need the heavy drum to wash away the stain Give me the distortion, give me the decay I am burning up the remnants of a bitter day [Drop - Female Wail] [Music completely cuts out for one second] [Explosive brass stabs return with a soaring, wordless female vocal wail] Oh! Let it break! Let the pressure drop! Let the engine shatter and the city stop! [Outro] [Frantic scratching over a deep sub-bass pulse] [Male spoken] Boiling over. Turn it into ash. [Female vocal echoing into delay] Let it break. Stop. [Final heavy brass stab]
