[Is_MAX_MODE: MAX](MAX) [QUALITY: MAX](MAX) [REALISM: MAX](MAX) /// *** /// [Intro - muted synth pad, doubled whisper] (Confession's open.) Confession's open - Bring the sins, leave the shame [Verse 1 - smooth crooning] You walked in and the room forgot its prayers Halos hit the floor like loose change down the stairs I came to confess, but the booth was a beat Priest was my pulse, so I stayed on my feet [Pre-Chorus - staccato] Don't fix it. (don't) Don't frame it. (don't) Shame's a rumor, rumors fade - Hands up, sinners - claim it! [Chorus - high-tenor belt, doubled hooks] Boy gone wild - (HEY!) - boy gone wilder! (wilder!) Light a candle, I'm the fire (fire!) Boy gone wild - (HEY!) - boy gone wilder! (wilder!) Amen's just a moan with good acoustics [Post-Chorus - chant, crowd shouts] Wild was never the sin - (never!) Pretending was. (Pretending was!) [Verse 2 - smooth, warmer] Group chat says I changed, I say I got loud Found my own name in the back of the crowd Hung the good boy mask at the door like a coat Underneath was a voice that was clearing its throat [Pre-Chorus 2 - staccato] Don't fix it. (don't) Don't frame it. (don't) Guilt's a language, I'm done learning - Hands up, sinners - claim it! [Chorus 2 - high-tenor belt, stacked harmonies a third apart] Boy gone wild - (HEY!) - boy gone wilder! (wilder!) Light a candle, I'm the fire (fire!) Boy gone wild - (HEY!) - boy gone wilder! (wilder!) Amen's just a moan with good acoustics [Post-Chorus - chant, crowd shouts] Wild was never the sin - (never!) Pretending was. (Pretending was!) [Bridge - cheeky half-spoken, then swelling] (spoken) Okay, okay - lean in. (spoken) I didn't come here to save you. (spoken) I came to be saved. Turns out - same dance. So we spun till the stained glass learned to sway And every saint on the wall said "okay" [Swell - triumphant belt] Higher, higher - let the whole roof go Heaven's just a ceiling we outgrow [Drop - single beat] (silence) (one kick) [Final Chorus - full band, all voices stacked] Boy gone wild - (HEY!) - boy gone wilder! (wilder!) Light a candle, I'm the fire (fire!) Boy gone wild - (HEY!) - boy gone wilder! (wilder!) Amen's just a moan with good acoustics Wild was never the sin - (never!) Pretending was - AMEN! [Ad-lib Breakdown - percussive vocal hiccups, breathy gasps, falsetto] (Hoo! - Hee-hee! - Ow!) (Take me - take me - hit!) (Wilder - hee! - wilder - hoo!) [Low Dramatic Spoken Outro - close, dry, almost whispered] (spoken, low) Boy gone wild... (spoken, low) it was never about the wild. (spoken, whisper) It was permission. (spoken, whisper) And I... signed. [Hard Stop - full band, one hit, breath, silence] (Hee!) [End]
