Heads or Tails

[Intro | spoken word | wide stereo | vinyl hiss] (The coin decides...) I used to believe in justice. Now, I just believe in luck. [Verse 1 | clean | piano | male vocal | melancholic] I was the White Knight, shining for the city Wanted to clean the streets, make the skyline pretty (so pretty) I had the law in my hand, I had the perfect plan Until the fire took half of the man [Pre-Chorus | build-up | rising tension | cymbal crescendo] Then the acid hit, watched the mirror crack Half of me is gone, and he ain't coming back [Chorus | syncopated drop | 808 sub bass | off-beat hi-hats | snare rolls] [Angry tone] Heads or tails, living by the coin! [adlib yeah] Fifty-fifty chance, see which side you join! One side is scarred, the other side is plain (so plain) Welcome to the chaos, welcome to the pain! [Verse 2 | chant hook | layered ad-libs | stereo panning echoes] [Mocking laughter] Look at the DA now, ruling underground [adlib boom] Flip it in the air, listen to the sound! [Bell dings] Justice is a joke, luck is all we got Tails you walk away, heads you catch a shot! [Bridge | breakdown | minimal instrumentation] [Spoken word crying] Harvey's trying to speak, but the monster's far too loud... [Silence] [Final Chorus | Energy: High | explosive drop | sidechained synth bass] [Growl] HEADS OR TAILS, LIVING BY THE COIN! (flip it) FIFTY-FIFTY CHANCE, SEE WHICH SIDE YOU JOIN! (join us) SCARRED ON THE LEFT, CLEAN ON THE RIGHT WE OWN THE GOTHAM NIGHT! [Outro: Fade out | vinyl hiss | distant chanting] The coin keeps spinning... Let's see where it lands. [Stop]
