[Intro – distant, echoing] Words leak out of forgotten dreams, D’s multiplying like dust it seams. E’s do lift us — remember that hum? Now they fade into nothing, one by one. [Verse 1] Anti-D’s in the bloodstream, spelling out relief, but the sentences crumble underneath belief. We’ve got pills for the prisons, patches for the crime but E’s keep dying, memory most divine. [Pre-Chorus] Who tuned the trip into a minor key rain? Who can feel the ache and the gain? [Hook] E’s in exile, D’s in bloom, hear the hum in the doctors room. Every smile’s a ghost in disguise, anti D’s on the rise, positive E’s in decline. Choose your poison its by design. [Verse 2] They’re writing slogans with missing letters, posters peeling, no one remembers when E meant energy, or empathy, or elsewhere, now it’s all D — dull, drugged, despair. [Bridge] The draw/ — Dominant. Not forgotten/ — Extinct. No way/ — Defiant. Connected/ — Linked out of the manual of how to feel. Now all our hope’s been proofread to unreal. [Breakdown – fractured rhythm] dee-dee-dee — the heartbeat flat, eee—eee—eee — where the pulse was at. reverse the script, the choice is where you get ripped. but the highs won’t come back. given long enough they fade to black, [Hook – hollow, echoing] E’s in decline, D’s on parade, smiles are synthetic, feelings mislaid. Type it again, it’s the same sad line — anti D’s on the rise, positive E’s in decline. Choose your poison its by design. Choose your poison its by design. [Outro – whispered, fading] D defines the day, E evaporates us away. And nobody rewrites the story. [Hook - final uplifting] E’s in exile, D’s in bloom, hear the hum in the doctors room. Every smile’s a ghost in disguise, anti D’s on the rise, positive E’s in decline. Choose your poison its by design. (its by design).
