Misery Has No Button

Dark alt-pop with male vocals; half-time groove under moody bass and detuned keys, Verses stay sparse and spoken-sung, then choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a distorted lead line, Kick and snare punch through a reverb-soaked atmosphere; final chorus adds octave-doubled vocal and glitchy ear-candy for a bitter, hypnotic finish, fake, sleep

[Verse 1] That’s the side I sleep best on Back turned Spine to your storm You keep crashing into drywall dreams Calling that control You try to wreck every good thing Just to feel tall in the smoke Reach for crowns you never earned Like the world came pre-broke [Chorus] You think you’re the destiny owner Pulling every string you can see But all I feel from your kingdom Is the weight of your misery You think you’re the fate rewriter But you can’t reprogram me I’m insensible Misery has no button in me [Verse 2] Bad game Worst play You bluff with empty hands And call that fate You lost your road for a shortcut Changed your goal for the show Trading truth for a good pose Just to feel like you glow [Chorus] You think you’re the destiny owner Pulling every string you can see But all I feel from your kingdom Is the weight of your misery You think you’re the fate rewriter But you can’t reprogram me I’m insensible Misery has no button in me [Bridge] You want power? Have the mirror Look at everything you break Every hollow move you make (yeah) I won’t carry What you bury If it’s all you’ll ever be Keep your chaos far from me [Chorus] You think you’re the destiny owner Pulling every string you can see But all I feel from your kingdom Is the weight of your misery You think you’re the fate rewriter But you can’t reprogram me I’m insensible Misery has no button in me
