Cromie - PSYCHO!!!! (RIFTLUME Remix)

V6

[Intro — whispered female vocal, dark ambience, distant guitar texture] Psycho… Psycho… I’m on a tightrope. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? [Build — tension rising] CAN YOU FUCKING HEAR ME? [Cut] ANSWER ME! [Verse 1 — restrained emotional rock vocal] I called your phone Until my hands went numb. Watched it ring. Watched it die. Watched the morning fucking come. I screamed your name Into the ceiling, Like maybe God Could make you listen. Like maybe somehow Through the distance— You’d feel me. You’d feel me. [Pre-Chorus — drums building] Where are you? WHERE ARE YOU? I’m talking to nothing. I’m begging the static. I’m losing my mind Trying to make silence answer back. [Chorus — wide emotional rock vocal, cinematic layers] PSYCHO! I’M ON A TIGHTROPE! YOU GOT ME SO HIGH THEN YOU FUCKING LET GO! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! I’M FALLING DOWN! WHERE ARE YOU NOW? ANSWER ME! DON’T LEAVE ME SCREAMING INTO THE VOID! [Pre-Drop — stripped to vocal] Psycho... [One-beat silence] ANSWER ME. [DROP 1 — brutal dark riddim, mostly instrumental] [Vocal chop] PSYCHO! [Instrumental response] ANSWER ME! [Instrumental response] PSY-PSY-PSY— PSYCHO! [Drop Switch — triplet variation] DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! [Instrumental response] PSYCHO! [Fakeout] Can you hear me? [Silence] ANSWER ME! [DROP 1B — heavier instrumental variation] PSYCHO! [Instrumental] ANSWER ME! [Instrumental] PSYCHO! [Breakdown — clean emotional vocal, sparse guitar/piano atmosphere] I told you I was scared. I told you what this does to me. I told you not to pull me close If you were planning on leaving. You said, “Trust me.” You said, “Baby.” You said, “I’m not going anywhere.” So where the fuck are you? [Build 2 — increasingly desperate] No text. NO CALL. No trace. NOTHING AT ALL. I say, “I hate you.” JUST ANSWER. I say, “Fuck you.” JUST ANSWER. I say, “I’m done.” JUST ANSWER. I don’t mean any of it. JUST— FUCKING— ANSWER— ME! [Chorus 2 — biggest melodic vocal section] PSYCHO! I’M ON A TIGHTROPE! YOU GOT ME SO HIGH THEN YOU FUCKING LET GO! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! I’M FALLING DOWN! WHERE ARE YOU NOW? WHERE ARE YOU NOW? ANSWER ME! DON’T LEAVE ME SCREAMING INTO THE VOID! [Post-Chorus — everything collapsing] Do you hear my name When the room gets quiet? Do you ever reach for your phone And almost dial it? Do you miss me at all? Or am I the only one Still trapped inside this? [Long reverb tail] Hello? ... Hello? [Hard cut] FUCKING SAY SOMETHING! [FINAL DROP — same motif, much heavier] PSYCHO! [Massive instrumental response] PSYCHO! [Instrumental response] YOU MADE ME— PSYCHO! [Fakeout] I’M ON A TIGHTROPE! [Silence] LET GO. [Drop Switch — doubled impacts] DOWN! [Impact] DOWN! [Impact] DOWN! [Impact] PSYCHO! [Final Variation — chopped vocals] PSY-PSY-PSYCHO! ANSWER— ANSWER— ANSWER ME! [Instrumental response] PSYCHO! [Outro — destroyed vocal, distant] Where are you? ... Please. Just answer. ... I hate you. ... No I don’t. [Looped vocal — gradually fading into long reverb] Psycho... Psycho... Psycho... [Fade out] Psycho...
