Last bus rusting by the mill, Parish sign glitching, standing still Teeth marks in the Sunday news, Something’s chewing through the truth (yeah) Kids’ bikes drown in crimson rain, Welcome sign hangs by a chain All the dogs bark at the void, But the void’s alive, paranoid! [Pre-Chorus – Rising tension, toms + filtered synths] Headlights swinging down dead roads, Every shadow’s full of bones Hold your breath now, here they come! Every heartbeat like a drum (like a drum) [Chorus – Explosive drop, full band + screams] Dead-end darlings in our town, Red sirens screaming Suntown down Skin like paper, eyes like glass, Clawing up from buried past They’re singing softly at my window, Fingernails along the brick Teeth full of red, full of plague We lock the doors—but it gets in Live inside the horror’s beneath the skin! If I turn now, will I be me? Or just another memory?! Red sirens over Suntown scream (scream) We’re all trapped, in the same bad dream [Verse 2 – Pulsing synth bass, restrained vocals] Mom’s old photo on the fridge door, Smile cracked, where the blood runs more She’s at the window, tapping slow (tapping slow) Mouthing words, I don’t wanna know (don’t wanna know) Pharmacy lit like a nightmare, Cherry stains and broken air (broken air) Prom dress dragging down the tile, Mascara bleeding, denial Pastor praying to the wall, Cross hangs crooked in the hall Choir kids with open throats, Dragging hymns they’ll never note (never no-te) [Pre-Chorus – Bigger, more aggressive build] Traffic lights stuck bleeding red, Shadows feeding on the dead Tell me now—are we the prey Or the ones who burn and just decay? (decay) [Chorus – Full intensity, layered screams + hook] Dead-end darlings drag us down, Red sirens echo through this town Skin like paper, eyes like glass, Kissing curbs as they collapse They’re scratching rhythms in the brick, Every breath makes this worse, makes it stick (makes it stick) If this is how the whole world ends, I’ll feel every break, every bend If I burn now, will I be free? Or just another casualty? Red sirens over Suntown scream, We’re all part of the same disease And I’m screaming back I won’t lay down (won’t lay down) [Bridge – Half-time breakdown, heavy + cinematic] I strike a match in aisle nine, Fluorescent lights distort and they whine Shopping carts like metal graves, I hear myself from frozen waves Tie my nerves up, barbed and tight, Smear the fear across the light If the dark wants one more choir I’ll be screaming—setting fire! Are we the outbreak or excuse? Did we invite it just to feel used?! If they want a final sound— I’ll burn it all, I’ll take it down [Final Chorus – Max energy → collapse] Dead-end darlings, hear them call, Red sirens rising as we fall! Skin like paper, eyes like glass, No one here, is built to last (built to last) They groan my name, they wear my face Love and plague in one embrace.. If I turn now, let me see— Was there ever a “me”? Red sirens over Suntown cry We don’t run—we don’t hide If we’re going down, we won’t scream Drag them under, break the dream! ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── THANKS 4 LISTENING ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟ
