[Intro] [Clean Chorused Guitar picking a dissonant minor chord] [Tape Hiss] [Heavy Bass Slide] [Full Band Entrance - Massive Wall of Distorted Guitars] [Clean Verse 1] [Guitars drop to palm-muted chugs] [Gruff Baritone Vocal] Tracing the symbols I left on the drywall... A shifting arrangement stretching down the hall. Bleeding the thoughts out to capture the noise, A temporary signal buried in the static of the void. Everything is changing... everything is flux. Just a mortal engine burning through the luck. [Pre-Chorus] [Bass and Drums lock into a heavy groove] [Gritty Delivery] The timeline only pushes one way... You cannot walk backward to yes-ter-day! [Chorus] [Explosive Guitar Chords, Crash Cymbals] [Angst-Ridden Belting] I DON'T WANT THE CROWN! I JUST WANT TO BREATHE! Caught right in the middle of the things that we perceive! Pour the morning coffee! Keep the shadows at bay! I'm leaving a record of the ash and the gray! Just a human being... Watching the architecture slowly de-cay! [Clean Verse 2] [Bass and Drums only] [Stac-ca-to Vocal] Tired of the corridors I've al-ready paced. Every single footprint is a-bout to be e-rased. Torn between the heavy, crushing weight of the bone... And the quiet comfort of just being a-lone. The family in the kitchen is keeping me a-live... While the cortex processes the sheer will to sur-vive! [Pre-Chorus] [Guitars return with palm-muted chugs] [Gritty Delivery] The timeline only pushes one way... You cannot walk backward to yes-ter-day! [Chorus] [Explosive Guitar Chords, Crash Cymbals] [Angst-Ridden Belting] I DON'T WANT THE CROWN! I JUST WANT TO BREATHE! Caught right in the middle of the things that we perceive! Pour the morning coffee! Keep the shadows at bay! I'm leaving a record of the ash and the gray! Just a human being... Watching the architecture slowly de-cay! [Bridge] [Half-Time Feel] [Heavy, Sludge-like Riff] [Spoken Word] I am just a gathering of atoms. A paradox in the meat. I would rather exist than fade out entirely. [Sudden drum fill] [Guttural Scream] BUT THE GRAVITY IS SO HEAVY! [Guitar Solo] [Wah-Pedal drenched, emotionally raw, bending notes] [Rhythm section pounding behind the solo] [Outro] [Band drops out abruptly] [Feedback ringing out and fading] [Acapella] [Whispered Vocal] This is my first... ...and my only life. [Single Heavy Drum Strike] [End]
