[Intro | distant breath | nervous synth pulse | static hiss | glitchy] (whispered) Don't look too close... (breathy) You'll see... it move... [Verse 1 | breathy | restrained | intimate | sparse] Smile... for the picture... Hold it... together... Everyone's watching... Nobody... knows better... Hands-like-a-live-wire... Heart-in-a-race... I learned how to fake it... (glitchy) By copying... your face... Every little warning... Buried... underneath... Lipstick on a fracture... PRETTY... over teeth... [Pre-Chorus | building tension | rising energy | distorted pulse] I can feel it in my bloodstream... Hear it... scratching at the door... Everybody wants the version... THAT CAN HIDE A LITTLE MORE!!! [Chorus | explosive | anthemic | maximum intensity | wall of noise] I'M PRETTY WHEN I PA-NIC!!! BEAUTIFUL IN THE CRASH!!! Light up like a warning sign... THEN DISAPPEAR TOO FAST!!! I'M PRETTY WHEN I PA-NIC!!! ELECTRIC IN THE DARK!!! You only love the fire... You don't want the spark... Everybody stares... Nobody stays... PRETTY WHEN I PA-NIC... UGLY WHEN IT FADES!!! [Verse 2 | aggressive | glitchy rhythmic flow | bit-crushed] Tell-me-I'm-dramatic... Tell-me-I'm-alright... Watch-me-turn-a-bad-thought... INTO A SATELLITE!!! Spinning through the ceiling... Breaking through the floor... Every tiny problem... Turns... into a war... You like me... unstable... Sharp around the seams... Easy to remember... Harder... in between... [Bridge | half-time | brooding | whispered to screaming] (whispered) Do you... love me... (shouted) OR THE EMERGENCY?!!! (whispered) Do you... want me... (screamed) OR THE ENERGY?!!! When the room... goes quiet... When the lights... go black... Will you still be here... OR JUST WANT THE PA-NIC BACK?!!! [Final Chorus | explosive | maximum intensity | stacked harmonies] I'M PRETTY WHEN I PA-NIC!!! BEAUTIFUL IN THE CRASH!!! Everybody loves the fireworks... NOBODY LOVES THE ASH!!! I'M PRETTY WHEN I PA-NIC!!! EVERYBODY KNOWS MY NAME!!! Until the smoke clears out... AND THERE'S NOBODY LEFT TO BLAME!!! Everybody stares... Nobody stays... Pretty... when I... panic...... [Outro | industrial fade | white noise resolution | distorted pulse] (whispered) Ugly... (breathy) When it... fades... [End]
