[Intro – Whispered Narrator + soft scratch] BordomsBurden… Don’t open your fuckin’ eyes… You’re already in it… [Verse 1 – Narrator, slow creepy soul] Fell through the goddamn floor into a hallway of teeth Walls drip static, every mirror’s a cheat Elevator opens straight into the void I stepped in laughing while the lights got destroyed [Whispered Interlude – Guide + scratch] “Come closer, BordomsBurden… The ride’s already paid…” [Chorus – main earworm, hypnotic & slightly off] Waking up is just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Waking up is just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Funny part’s the blood Bathtub full of mud Crown made of rust Waking up is just… (just… just… fuck just…) [Verse 2 – Guide, smoother & sinister] Mirror only shows the worst of your ass Every door leads straight back to the past Kiss the mannequin, it moans your real name Lights cut out… game starts again [Verse 2b – Narrator, dry & amused] I smoked that shit. Tasted like childhood and goddamn gasoline. Walls started clapping like they knew the whole scene. [Chorus] Waking up is just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Waking up is just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Funny part’s the blood Bathtub full of mud Crown made of rust Waking up is just… (just… just… fuck just…) [Bridge – The Beast, deep distorted, almost spoken over scratches] YOU WANTED A STORY, BORDOMSBURDEN? HERE’S THE FUCKIN’ PUNCHLINE: EVERY VERSION OF YOU IS ALREADY DEAD AND STILL LAUGHING [Spoken Interlude – Narrator, calm] …I laughed too. Hard as fuck. (Oh yeah + scratch) Ribs cracked like old cassette tape. [Final Chorus – layered voices, more warped + heavy scratches] Waking up is just… (Oh yeah + scratch) (Oh yeah + scratch) Waking up is just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Just… Just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Just… Just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Funny part’s the blood Bathtub full of mud Crown made of rust (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Waking up is just… Ain’t nobody waking up… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) Ain’t nobody waking up… Waking up is just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) [Outro – overlapping whispers + fading organ + slow scratches] (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) …just…(Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) …just…(Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) (don’t wake up, BordomsBurden) Haha… Just… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch) (don’t wake up) (don’t…) Haha… (Low voice Oh yeah + scratch)
