[Intro] [metallic synth sequence loops alone, clipped and precise, no drums yet, sterile and exact] [Verse 1] [robotic, flat, affectless vocal] Camera counted me at the corner Camera counted me at the door They know how long I stood in the kitchen They know what I was standing for I stopped talking out loud in my own house Years ago, maybe more [Chorus] [four-on-the-floor kick locks in hard, guitar stabs on downbeats, gang-vocal robotic stack] Eyes that never close Ears in every wall Nowhere left that's only mine Nothing left at all [Verse 2] [robotic, slightly clipped/glitched] They logged the hour I stopped smiling Logged the day I learned to lie Filed it next to my location Filed it under reasons why I used to think that watching meant they cared Now I know it's just supply [Chorus] [heavier, guitar stabs more frequent, synth sequence sharper] Eyes that never close Ears in every wall Nowhere left that's only mine Nothing left at all [Synth Break] [metallic sequence repeating, tension building, drums still rigid and mechanical, no fills] [Verse 3] [still robotic but words start cracking through the processing, first hints of raw voice underneath] If you're going to count my breathing Count this one, I'm holding it in If you're going to watch my hands move Watch them build what happens next [processing failing, voice breaking through] You never asked if I was guilty You just asked if I was next [Break] [all electronic elements cut dead, one unaccompanied line, raw voice, no processing, dead silence behind it] I STOPPED HIDING WHAT YOU'D FIND ANYWAY [Verse 4] [raw, distorted, screamed, live chaotic double-kick enters for the first time, guitar sustains instead of stabbing] YOU WANTED SOMETHING WORTH THE WATCHING FINE, I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING REAL EVERY CAMERA ON THIS STREET CORNER GETS TO SEE ME BREAK THE SEAL [growled] COUNT ME NOW WHILE I'M STILL MOVING COUNT ME NOW, TELL ME HOW IT FEELS [Chorus - Final] [maximum weight, guitar sustained and full, drums live and chaotic under the mechanical synth, vocal fully raw] EYES THAT NEVER CLOSE EARS IN EVERY WALL NOWHERE LEFT THAT'S ONLY MINE NOTHING LEFT AT ALL [Outro] [synth sequence stutters, drops out, single kick hit, silence, hard cut] [End]
