[Intro] [Music Box Solo] (gentle tinkling music box slowly warbling and building into modern synths with soft reverb echoes) [Verse 1] [Soft pop vocals, light layering, gentle echo] I can see the storm behind your eyes tonight you’re spinning in a room that keeps getting smaller let me in for a second, just a second I won’t break anything, I promise I just want to understand the static you’re hearing scatter of half-formed fears on the floor [Chorus] [More intense, multi-layered pop vocals turning slightly disturbing with distortion, heavy reverb and ad-libs] Let me lick your brain let me lick your brain sweet neural juice dripping down my chin Let me lick your brain oh let me lick your brain the thoughts are still warm and twitching (yeah still twitching) [Verse 2] [Warm indie-pop delivery, light warble on sustained notes, soft background echoes] Here’s the childhood you keep replaying on loop I roll the memory gently between my fingers taste of bicycle wheels and the night you felt invisible your first panic still sticky on the roof of the mouth I won’t spit it out, I’ll hold it with you scatterbrain soup of everything you’re carrying [Instrumental Solo] [Cinematic experimental instrumental: warbling modern synths, music-box remnants, soft glitches, heavy reverb and echo] [Verse 3] [Slightly more urgent pop vocals, layered echoes] Now the adult wires are tangled in static I bite the spark that makes you flinch at the mirror your ambition tastes like copper and late-night doubt I chew the blueprints of every almost-future spit out nothing, just rearrange the pieces the inside of your head is loud but I’m still here [Chorus] [Intense multi-layered pop vocals, more distorted and disturbing, heavy reverb and ad-libs] Let me lick your brain let me lick your brain sweet neural juice dripping down my chin Let me lick your brain oh let me lick your brain the thoughts are still warm and twitching (still warm still twitching yeah) [Bridge] [Intimate spoken-sung escalating to layered pop vocals with warble] Deeper now past the meat of the panic into the black quiet center where you hide the real you I open the door carefully with both hands and the scream that lives there can rest for a minute [Verse 4] [Soft building to hopeful yet still slightly unsettling multi-layered vocals] I found the room where you keep the unsaid it is smaller than you pretend I wipe the walls clean of every apology you never needed your future is still half-formed in my mouth scatter of stars and questions and open windows I will leave the door open when I go [Chorus] [Full layered, catchy, more disturbing distortion and intensity, heavy reverb and background vocals] Let me lick your brain let me lick your brain sweet neural juice dripping down my chin Let me lick your brain oh let me lick your brain the thoughts are still warm and twitching (lick it lick it still twitching) [Outro] [Fading soft pop vocals with returning music box and gentle warble] I leave the door ajar so the darkness can keep breathing on its own (music box fading into soft synth reverb with dissolving echoes of let me lick your brain)
