[Intro - glitchy synths, distorted bass hit, applause sample cuts to silence, DROPS] [Verse 1 - fast, sharp, percussive, bragging energy] Built this from a bedroom Soldering iron and a stolen amp Saved up for a synth That smelled like someone else's cigarettes First show was eleven people Three of them were lost Looking for a different bar Stayed anyway I made them stay Taped flyers to my own walls Booked myself on bills Nobody asked for Showed up louder Than the headliner wanted Got banned from two venues Before I had a name Good I didn't need their stages I'd build my own [Pre-Chorus - momentum building, declaration energy] They said Who are you I said Cadenza They said no really I said it louder CADENZA Say it loud enough And it becomes true Say it loud enough And that's all they need [Chorus - big, layered vocals, synth-punk, anthem] Encore encore encore You want more I've always got more Never ran out Never went dark Never gave you A single second Of silence Encore encore encore I'm the show That doesn't stop The lights that don't go down The name on every wall In Harling Encore Again Again Again Let's go [Verse 2 - building the empire, pride, sweat equity] Painted the venue myself Three coats Weekend on my knees Roller in one hand Coffee in the other Hung the lights Wired the board Fixed the speaker That buzzes at low frequencies Nobody else can hear it I can always hear it Booked every act Mopped every floor Slept on the stage When the heating broke Woke up and did a sound check In the same clothes They call it a scene now Like it grew on its own Like Harling just happened Harling didn't happen I happened to Harling [Pre-Chorus - victory lap energy] They said How'd you do it I said I didn't stop They said aren't you tired I said of what I don't get tired I get louder [Chorus - bigger, stacking, triumphant] Encore encore encore You want more I built more Wired it Painted it Stood on it And made it mine Encore encore encore I'm the show That doesn't stop The room that's never quiet The stage that's never dark The name They can't forget Encore Again Again Again Let's go [Bridge - energy stays but shifts, just slightly, one shade] After the set After the lights After everybody's gone I lock up Walk home Harling at 3am Streetlights buzzing My ears still ringing Best part of my night The ringing Means it happened Means I was there Means the room was full I get home I don't turn the lights on I go straight to sleep Because tomorrow I do it again And that's enough That's more than enough That's everything [Final Chorus - full force, pure anthem, no cracks visible] Encore encore encore You want more Come to Harling I've always got more Encore encore encore I'm the show That doesn't stop I don't go quiet I don't go soft I don't slow down Encore Again Again Again What else would I do [Outro - massive synth hit, glitch stutter, cuts hard to silence, end]
