Balloons over the breakdown

[verse | vocals : controlled, close-mic, cold, sharp | instrumental : tense bass, dry drums, clipped electric guitars, subtle synth haze | energy : low burn, restrained] pink ribbons hanging from the doorway shiny confetti on the floor sugar light on plastic faces waiting for a little more balloons crowding up the ceiling silver strings around my wrist someone spills their drink beside me someone swears they saw me slip [pre-chorus | vocals : intimate, controlled, tightening | instrumental : drums pull back, bass holds tension, guitars thin out, synth haze rising | energy : tightening, inward] too much air inside the room now too much shine under my skin smile so hard it almost cuts through hold it still and let it in [chorus | vocals : controlled, close, shouting | instrumental : dry drums, tense bass, clipped guitars, subtle synth haze | energy : cold, direct, restrained] popping pretty balloons with a pretty knife all is pink all is fine pretty balloons nasty feelings you get all of me isn't it what you needed ? [verse | vocals : composed, precise, faintly mocking | instrumental : tense bass, dry drums, clipped guitars, low synth haze | energy : restrained, sharper] everybody stands in clusters watching from the kitchen light half afraid to call it funny half in love with how I bite powder pink against the drywall little pieces in my hair I can feel them looking closer just to see what happens there [bridge | vocals : tighter phrasing, controlled, colder underneath | instrumental : more active dry drums, driving bass, clipped guitars, rising synth tension | energy : mounting pressure, restrained] one by one they split so easy one by one I clear the room pretty colours, ugly seconds sweet perfume and rubber bloom laughing my head off while you watch me wondering if i'm sad or just crazy pink dust on the table edge now thin white knuckles, perfect grin all the soft things turn to pieces all that noise comes rushing in [chorus | vocals : controlled, close, shouting | instrumental : dry drums, tense bass, clipped guitars, subtle synth haze | energy : cold, direct, restrained] popping pretty balloons with a pretty knife all is pink all is fine pretty balloons nasty feelings you get all of me isn't it what you needed ? [outro | vocals : spoken intimate female, dry, composed | instrumental : bass fading, guitars suspended, drums gone | energy : still, cold] did you get what you needed ?
