Society's Script [NDC]

[Intro — Ambient Pads, Slow Build, Distant Reverb, Soft Piano, Atmospheric Soundscape] [Soft Male/Female Clean Vocals, Breath Airy Tone, Long Reverb Tail] Every day that goes on and on, never-ending relentless agony A heavy weight of regret pushing down upon my shoulders Carrying the burden of oppression that holds me down Every day is the same urgency, stress, overwhelming need To fit into our society that holds the norm so high [Verse 1 — Clean Guitar, Subtle Bass, Soft Electronic Texture, Light Percussion] [Emotional Clean Vocals, Close Mic, Gentle Delivery] But yet we rise again and again Every morning that comes before us Removing the blanket that's holding us down upon our own feelings Regretfulness always makes its way back into our minds and souls That hold the burden we can't get rid of [Pre-Chorus — Doubling Vocals, Rising Synths, Pulsing Bass, Building Tension] [Layered Baritone + Soft Harmony Vocals] Oooh such agony that brings us down Yet we tend to go on with it every day We say the next day will be a bit better than the last But that is apparently a lie to ourselves Pushing our stress into the stratosphere where no limits hold us down Every day that we go onward with our lives There is nothing that we can do about it Yet we keep marching onward into the unknown Not knowing what will happen in the future [Chorus — Impactful Drums, Wide Guitars, Cinematic Strings, Full Band Entry] [Powerful Emotional Vocals, Wide Stereo, Vocal Layers] Yet we rise up against the wall that stands in our way Yet we rise, aaah we rise toward the sky that holds us free We are more free than we think It's holding us back into the past Where chains shackle us like prisoners of our former lives [Verse 2 — Pullback Dynamics, Clean Guitar, Atmospheric Pads, Light Beat] [Soft Emotional Vocals, Slight Echo] Each step feels like an eternity Every moment slowly passing by Like an hourglass being turned around Until the last drop passes through Voidless spectrums that keep us in the distance Yet so very close to our goals That we hold ever closer to our own hearts [Pre-Chorus — Bass Pulse, Rising Synth Arpeggio, Vocal Harmonies Build] [Layered Vocal Harmonies, Increasing Intensity] Oooh such agony that brings us down Yet we tend to go on with it every day We say the next day will be a bit better than the last But that is apparently a lie to ourselves Pushing our stress into the stratosphere where no limits hold us down Every day that we go onward with our lives There is nothing that we can do about it Yet we keep marching onward into the unknown Not knowing what will happen in the future [Chorus — Bigger Impact, Added Harmonies, Heavy Drums, Wide Guitar Layers] [Powerful Vocals, High Harmony Layers] Yet we rise up against the wall that stands in our way Yet we rise, aaah we rise toward the sky that holds us free We are more free than we think It's holding us back into the past Where chains shackle us like prisoners of our former lives [Bridge — Drop to Piano + Pads, Ambient Atmosphere, Reverse Effects] [Soft Whisper Vocals Building to Emotional Peak] When we stand still for a moment And think about who we really are What are we meant to be in the reality within ourselves That holds us in suspense forever Locked inside our own hearts That keep beating onward into the future And present past that dwells inside of us [Verse 3 — Slow Build, Percussion Returns, Dark Atmosphere] [Emotional Baritone Vocals, Slight Grit] But oh mother and father why do I feel this way Please someone deliver me into this flame Where I shall be granted salvation and liberty No more agony, no more oppression That pulls me down, shackles my feet and hands With cruelty of my inner self Yet here we are today, same routine over and over again On a never-ending cycle of repeating stories That never seem to end [Pre-Chorus — Full Build, Rising Drums, Bass Swell, Vocal Layers] [Layered Harmonies, Expanding Sound] Oooh such agony that brings us down Yet we tend to go on with it every day We say the next day will be a bit better than the last But that is apparently a lie to ourselves Pushing our stress into the stratosphere where no limits hold us down Every day that we go onward with our lives There is nothing that we can do about it Yet we keep marching onward into the unknown Not knowing what will happen in the future [Final Chorus — Maximum Impact, Full Orchestra + Rock Band, Big Drums] [Power Vocals, Choir Layers, Wide Stereo Field] Yet we rise up against the wall that stands in our way Yet we rise, aaah we rise toward the sky that holds us free We are more free than we think It's holding us back into the past Where chains shackle us like prisoners of our former lives [Outro — Soft Piano, Ambient Pads, Slow Fade, Distant [End]
