Three Licks to Madness

[Verse 1] (One) Start with a question, simple and sweet, (Two) Tongue to the candy, rhythm and beat, (Three) How many licks till the truth is complete? [Verse 2] (Four) Scientists tried, but they lost their way, (Five) Owls just cheat, they won’t even play, (Six) Humanity crumbles, sanity sways. [Chorus] [Rising Intensity] We’re counting! We’re counting! But losing our minds! The answer’s a whisper, we’re running out of time! It’s madness! It’s chaos! It’s all a cruel lie! Three licks to the center and then you just die! Three... Two...[Crack]—(INSANITY!) [Verse 3] (Seven) Numbers are fiction, the tongue tells no lies, (Eight) One taste of the question, the soul liquefies, (Nine) The cycle repeats—*why can’t we decide?!* [Chorus 2] [More Frantic, Percussion Builds] We’re licking! We’re counting! We’re spiraling down! The data’s corrupted, our brains start to drown! It’s madness! It’s chaos! It’s all a cruel lie! Three licks to the center and then you just die! One... Two... Three—Crunch! [Bridge] [Slow, Creeping Intensity] Lightning flashes—numbers shatter, Scholars mumble—truths don’t matter, Twirling, swirling, tongues keep turning, One more lick and minds start burning! [Break] [Silence… Then sudden explosion of sound!] "How many licks?" *(How many? HOW MANY?!!!)* [Chorus 3] [Final Climax, Wild Instrumentals, Distorted Vocals] We’re breaking! We’re shaking! We’ll never be free! The candy, the question, the vast mystery! It’s madness! It’s chaos! It’s all a cruel lie! Three licks to the center and then you just—DIE!!! [Outro] [Echoing laugh]
