[Verse 1 - intimate, imperfect male tenor and close miked, opening into a haunting aching chorus] [Mid-tempo Funeral-march pulse] The Lights flicker, before my eyes adjust to the glare Staring through the glimmer, But there's nothing there. Im fixing a tie, I Don't want to wear It's Tightning hard around my neck. Said Something Nice For aesthetics Something I Never Meant. Built A Facade Too synthetic To Really come from my head. [Pre-chorus - Introduce a low, humming ambient drone that slowly loses its volume. Let the final chord ring out quietly into total emptiness before the chorus starts] You Can sit and pray To God But the gates will forever stay shut Because he Does what he wants And This what he's chosen. [Chorus - vocals should start soft and defeated, gradually building in volume and aggression before dropping into a haunting, hushed, whisper on the final word, "Curse." Intoduce a low-octave backing vocal starting on Line 4 to add a sinister, heavy weight to the sound] [A melancholic, slow-reverbed minor-key distorted piano melody. It should sound lonely and cyclical, matching the feeling of being trapped in a loop] I Know I Can't change The story I Can't Rewrite The Verse I Know There's no time left for the play to be rehearsed. This World will always be against me Force me Towards the worst Now I know the world not wrong, I Know im the... Curse... [Verse 2 - A muffled funeral-march beat and distorted piano swell beneath a numb whisper, suddenly snapping into dead silence on the final scream] [On the final line completely break character. Switch from a quiet whisper to a sudden high-register shout.] I Step out, where the wind doesn't blow Every Thoughts frozen, stone cold. A stranger Walked past looking at my face Like Im the only one that is out of place. Im The only one where no one goes In The only place that no one knows. Im Somewhere far inside my head Where Nobody listens to what I Said! [Pre-chorus - Introduce a low, humming ambient drone that slowly loses its volume. Let the final chord ring out quietly into total emptiness before the chorus starts] You Can sit and pray To God But the gates will forever stay shut Because he Does what he wants And This what he's chosen. [Chorus - vocals should start soft and defeated, gradually building in volume and aggression before dropping into a haunting, hushed, whisper on the final word, "Curse." Intoduce a low-octave backing vocal starting on Line 4 to add a sinister, heavy weight to the sound] [A melancholic, slow-reverbed minor-key distorted piano melody. It should sound lonely and cyclical, matching the feeling of being trapped in a loop] I Know I Can't change The story I Can't Rewrite The Verse I Know There's no time left for the play to be rehearsed. This World will always be against me Force me Towards the worst Now I know the world not wrong, I Know im the... Curse... [Bridge - Piano Distorts, and shifts into a distorted heartbeat sound]p I look at myself, I've got no face Just A blur in it's place. There is nobody, inside my body Just an Empty space. I Tried so hard Pushed myself so far Even Though I Already knew the outcome. I Can't move my legs Im Stuck once again Inside some "astral shit" [Pre-chorus - Muffled, Echoing piano, quiet and empty instrumental] You Can sit and pray To God But the gates will forever stay shut Because he Does what he wants And This what he's chosen. [Chorus - vocals should start soft and defeated, gradually building in volume and aggression before dropping into a haunting, hushed, whisper on the final word, "Curse." Intoduce a low-octave backing vocal starting on Line 4 to add a sinister, heavy weight to the sound] [A melancholic, slow-reverbed minor-key distorted piano melody. It should sound lonely and cyclical, matching the feeling of being trapped in a loop] I Know I Can't change The story I Can't Rewrite The Verse I Know There's no time left for the play to be rehearsed. This World will always be against me Force me Towards the worst Now I know the world not wrong, I Know im the... Curse...
