[Intro] [dark filter sweep, tense underscore with palm-muted chugs] [Verse A] [whisper delay FX, minimal underscore] Inhale the static that poisons the mind My veins are twitching, a chemical sign [polyharmonic chug guitars] The wires wrap tight in a parasitic grid Buried alive in the promises you hid [Pre-Chorus A] [whispers panning L→R, stereo widen] Whispers coil on rusted leaves Feeding the rot beneath my sleeves [Chorus A] [quad-tracked vocals, growl accents, full-band hit] Parasitic dreams infect my head Scream inside, I can’t pretend [stacked guitars, soaring vocal hook] Crawling deep beneath my skin These thoughts won’t let me sleep again [stereo widen] Chewing through what’s left to feel [stereo widen] Till nothing’s left but cold and steel [Verse B] [riff variation with synth underlay] A false calm drips, a venomous kiss Your voice cuts deep, corrosive bliss Fractured bone hums with static fire This shell was never what I desired [Pre-Chorus B] [whispers panning L→R, stereo widen] Whispers coil on rusted leaves Feeding the rot beneath my sleeves [Chorus A] [quad-tracked vocals, growl accents, full-band hit] Parasitic dreams infect my head Scream inside, I can’t pretend [stacked guitars, soaring vocal hook] Crawling deep beneath my skin These thoughts won’t let me sleep again [stereo widen] Chewing through what’s left to feel [stereo widen] Till nothing’s left but cold and steel [Bridge] [halftime drop, glitchy delays, sudden silences] DIG IT OUT! BURN IT CLEAN! KILL THE PART THAT DARES TO DREAM! CUT IT OUT! RIP IT FREE! THIS SICKNESS LIVES INSIDE OF ME! SPIT IT OUT! LET IT ROT! [distorted guttural whisper, lowpass filter] I’m the virus the cure forgot [Instrumental Break] [sludgy solo, mechanical FX, droning bass] [Re-Intro Motif] [distant delay-heavy echo, minimal underscore] Parasitic dreams... infect... my... head... [crescendo builds closer, cut to silence] [Final Chorus] [full-band explosion, wide stacked vocals] Scream inside, I can’t pretend Crawling deep beneath my skin These thoughts won’t let me sleep again [stereo widen] Chewing through what’s left to feel [stereo widen] Till nothing’s left but cold and steel [Outro] [mono collapse, whispered delivery] The tape keeps running but no one’s home [stereo widen, echo layering] Just static and skin, alone (Alone, alone) (Alone, alone) [distorted guitar chord, hard stop] [single click L, single click R] [END]
