Misery Is Always The Best Company

[Genre: djent, metalcore, progressive metal] [Structure: verse, bridge, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, instrumental break, final chorus] [Vocals: clean male, melodic, layered harmonies, no screams or growls] [Instruments: distorted guitar, slap bass, syncopated drums in 2/3 timing, light synth pad] [Mood: moody, fast-paced, energetic, focused] [Verse 1: catchy melodic vocals over heavy djent riffs] Must be out of my mind, I suppose Always make the list, I never spoke Anonymous members club, at the tone Plug dial, ring, ring, gimme the antidote [Bridge: energetic build-up that fades into a short instrumental break] We're buying halos just for fun Lemme paint you a picture All the angels got the home run I'll spare your ears Nobody cheers for the home team anymore What happened to all the colors on the canvas [Verse 2: strong clean vocals with harmonies and lighter instrumentals] Must be out of my mind, it's a joke Nobody likes my sense of humor. So? I've never met an angel, I guess I'm alone No smile, wings, things, gimme the antidote [Pre-chorus: slower, melodic transition leading into the chorus] I bit my tongue Red light, blink, blink, cut me another dose. [Chorus: off-beat yet anthemic with moody cadences] What they think I need And what I wanna have Are two separate things Cuz misery is always the best company What they think I want And what I gotta taste Are two separate things I watch myself fall while I'm running [Verse 3: heavier instrumentals with glitching rhythm elements] Must’ve dreamed I was clean, I suppose Washed my hands but the stain still shows Kept my name off the line, still exposed Re-dial, ring, ring, tell me what I owe Must’ve vanished again, I suppose Fame’s a drug I don’t overdose Flatline, beep, beep, gimme the antidote Short breath tight grin Ring, ring, gimme the antidote [Instrumental break: syncopated groove with rhythmic guitar and bass focus] [Final chorus: full arrangement tying all elements together, anthemic and resolved] What they think I need And what I wanna have Are two separate things Cuz misery is always the best company What they think I want And what I gotta taste Are two separate things I watch myself fall while I'm running
