Wait A Minute (Remix)

[Intro – ambient strings + distant guitar swell] (soft, breathy) Hey… Hey… (violin tremolo builds) I lost my conscienceness in the end of a cigarette… [Verse 1 – clean, fragile] Ash on my tongue, I can taste the regret Swore I was done but I’m not finished yet Every promise burns in the back of my throat Every word I choke is a lie that I wrote I tried to wash you out in the pouring rain But your ghost still sleeps in my veins You pull me close just to watch me break Love me like a curse I can’t escape [Pre-Chorus – building tension] I feel it under my skin, underneath my bones Every step away still leads me home You’re the silence screaming in my head The only peace I get is when I’m dead [Chorus – full band, screams + cleans layered] Wait a minute—feel it crawling in my blood Wait a minute—drag me deeper in the flood I lost my conscienceness in the end of a cigarette Wait a minute—I left my morals in the flame Wait a minute—I don’t remember my own name [Verse 2 – heavier, rhythmic] Bruises bloom where your fingers trace Every high just a fall from grace I get close to the light, I can almost see But the dark’s got a better hold on me Bodies blur but the feeling stays Numb enough just to ease the pain You’re the vice that I can’t outrun The loaded gun I keep kissing [Pre-Chorus – more aggressive] I tear at the wires inside my chest Every heartbeat fails the test I tried to cut you out, confess But you’re stitched too deep beneath my flesh [Chorus – bigger, more intense] Wait a minute—feel it crawling in my blood Wait a minute—drag me deeper in the flood I lost my conscienceness in the end of a cigarette Wait a minute—I left my morals in the flame Wait a minute—I don’t remember my own name [Breakdown – screamed, dissonant, crushing] (half-time, chugs + strings stabs) Hooks in my skin— Pull me back again Teeth in my soul— Never letting go I tried to run— I tried to change— But every road leads back to pain (blegh) You are the needle You are the thread Sew me to everything I said I’d forget [Bridge – stripped, violin + clean vocal] (soft, broken) I almost made it out alive… Saw the sun for the first time… But the night knows my name… And it calls me back again… [Final Chorus – layered, desperate] Wait a minute—feel it tearing me apart Wait a minute—carving out my heart I lost my conscienceness in the end of a cigarette Wait a minute—I’m a shadow of the same Wait a minute—I got nobody to blame [Outro – fading strings + ambient guitar] (whisper) Hey… Ash to ash… Breath to breath… I lost my conscienceness… And I’ve got nothing left….
