(Style Note: Verses are delivered in a rapid, aggressive rap style. The Pre-Chorus builds tension. The Chorus is a full-throttle screamo delivery.) (Verse 1 - Rap Flow, Hard Beat) Yo, check the tempo, this ain't no slow jam, this is panic When you walk into the room, my whole world goes manic. I used to build walls, brick by solitary brick, Thought I was an island, unreachable, impenetrable, quick To shut down any feeling that looked like it would stay. Then you showed up like a tidal wave and washed the fear away. I'm talking dopamine spikes, a chemical overload, You're the data stream, baby, I'm the hard drive you just wrote. Every file corrupted? Now it's running smooth and clean. You're the only peace I've found in this chaotic, ugly scene. (Pre-Chorus - Building Vocal Strain, Drums Speeding Up) I'm losing my control! The signal's getting hot! I swore I wouldn't do this, swore I'd never give a thought To this kind of vulnerability! It's a risk I can't afford! But every time you smile, another boundary is ignored! (Chorus - Screamo, Heavy Distortion/Blast Beats) I CAN'T BREATHE WHEN YOU'RE NEAR! (Yeah!) IS THIS LOVE OR IS IT FEAR?! (I don't know!) YOU'RE THE CRACK IN THE PAVEMENT, WHERE THE FLOWER BREAKS FREE! A BEAUTY SO RUTHLESS, IT'S CONSUMING ME! MY STATIC HEARTBEAT! IT ONLY BEATS FOR YOU! EVERY WAKING MOMENT! THIS FEELING IS TRUE! IT'S AN AGONY! A RUSH! I'M ADDICTED TO THE PAIN! YOU'RE THE SUNLIGHT IN THE FLOOD AND THE MERCY IN THE RAIN! (Verse 2 - Rap Flow, Slightly more melodic) See, the others? They were shadows, placeholders in the dark. They only left a footprint, you ignited the whole park. You don't play the petty games, you see the monster and the man. You got the blueprint for the heart, you understand the plan. I watch you from a distance, just trying to process the grace. You're the one constant orbit in this solitary space. I'm laying all the cards down, even the ones I want to hide, 'Cause when I look in your eyes, I see nothing to confide But trust, and that scares me more than any physical threat. You're the best damn thing that hasn't killed me yet. (Pre-Chorus - Building Vocal Strain, Drums Speeding Up) I'm losing my control! The signal's getting hot! I swore I wouldn't do this, swore I'd never give a thought To this kind of vulnerability! It's a risk I can't afford! But every time you smile, another boundary is ignored! (Chorus - Screamo, Heavy Distortion/Blast Beats) I CAN'T BREATHE WHEN YOU'RE NEAR! (Yeah!) IS THIS LOVE OR IS IT FEAR?! (I don't know!) YOU'RE THE CRACK IN THE PAVEMENT, WHERE THE FLOWER BREAKS FREE! A BEAUTY SO RUTHLESS, IT'S CONSUMING ME! MY STATIC HEARTBEAT! IT ONLY BEATS FOR YOU! EVERY WAKING MOMENT! THIS FEELING IS TRUE! IT'S AN AGONY! A RUSH! I'M ADDICTED TO THE PAIN! YOU'RE THE SUNLIGHT IN THE FLOOD AND THE MERCY IN THE RAIN! (Bridge/Breakdown - Music slows to a heavy, syncopated chug. Vocalist switches between a low, guttural growl and rapid-fire whispered rap.) (Growl): They don't get it. They don't know the depth. (Whispered Rap): Yeah, I'm screaming over bass lines, fighting for every single breath! (Growl): This devotion is a weapon! Pointed right at my chest! (Whispered Rap): But if it's gotta pierce me, baby, then yours is the best! (BUILDING INTENSITY) I'll tear the ceiling down! Just to stand next to you! I'll face the whole damn world! 'CAUSE I ONLY SEE YOU! (Final Chorus Outro - Full Chaos Screamo, Band Ramps Up and Crashes Out) YOU'RE MINE! I'M YOURS! IT'S DESTRUCTION! (Feedback) AND I LOVE IT! (Final crash)
