[Cold Open / Drum Bait]
Hi-hats like knives, cutting the night
Kick like a heartbeat, punching the floor
(2/4 hit)—Cut.

[Riff A / Verse]
Neon is scar tissue, bleeding in rain
Ice in the glass—tiny star-grain
Mirrorball moon, spinning our shade
Your smile’s a fuse, bringing me back
Green light is a signal—the world holds its breath
Wind off the towers, waves on my chest
Even if rumors of ending ring loud
Tonight, I pocket the future—no sound

[Hook / Unison]
Till the last second—DANCE [GANG SHOUTS]
No fear, no exit—TAKE A CHANCE [GANG SHOUTS]
Even tear-trails—SHINE [GANG SHOUTS]
Even tear-trails—you’re still MINE [GANG SHOUTS] (2/4 hit)

[A’ / Bass-Forward Verse]
Low-end is a tongue, biting my words
Your fingertips—matchheads in blur
Shiver on my back, like a needle on wax
Your close-breath erase makes the whole world collapse
“Scared?” I spit fast—rap in my teeth
“Not me,” you grin back—clean, underneath
Sirens in the distance, like far-off surf
Only our shadows move at the same work

[Breakdown / Half-time ~95 + Guitar Solo]
Drums punch a hole, opening dark
Bass turns to chains, yanking my hips
(Guitar stabs late—then floods)
[* Guitar Solo — 8–12 bars, half-time; Key C minor (Aeolian) with Phrygian ♭2 stabs. Violent tremolo bursts, tapped ladder runs, pinch-harmonic screams, whammy dives, dissonant tritone bends, octave/uni shots; rhythm stutters in 3+3+2 over PM 16ths. Last 2 bars: unison bend wall → final bar solo-only cadenza → 1/2-beat NC. *]

[Thrash Burst]
Breath is a bullet
Night splits open
Hands up—riot
Floor keeps jumping
You scream it back
I shout it louder
Before the end comes
We burn in laughter

[Final Hook]
Till the last second—DANCE [GANG SHOUTS]
No fear, no exit—TAKE A CHANCE [GANG SHOUTS]
Even tear-trails—SHINE [GANG SHOUTS]
Even tear-trails—you’re still MINE [GANG SHOUTS]
DIE WITH A SMILE—RIGHT NOW [GANG SHOUTS]
DIE WITH A SMILE—DON’T BOW [GANG SHOUTS]
(1-beat stop) SMILE! [GANG SHOUTS]
