[Intro] (Dark, atmospheric violin melody with heavy sub-bass) Yeah. It’s the only way to keep it quiet. Don't let it stop. Just keep it playing. [Verse 1] [Deep Gritty Voice] Concrete walls and the city grey The shadows creeping in to steal my day I plug it in, feel the pulse inside It’s the only place where I can hide The rhythm hits, yeah it’s cold and deep It puts the demon in me back to sleep Chained to the melody, locked in tight I’m safe as long as I hold the light. [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal] But the battery’s dying, the volume fades I’m losing control in these toxic shades The silence is loud, it’s tearing the seams It’s coming for me in my waking dreams. [Chorus] [Female Vocal] When the music plays, the beast is bound Chained by the bass, trapped by the sound But when it stops, the panic starts to crawl How long can I stand before I fall? I’m a ticking clock, I’m a losing bet The hunger in me that I can’t forget Keep the track running, keep me sane Don’t let the silence break the chain. [Verse 2] [Deep Gritty Voice] I’m walking on glass, I’m walking on edge Trying to keep my soul from the ledge The beat is the cage, the bars are the flow It’s the only thing that I really know If I pull out the jack, if the silence wins That’s when the monster begins its sins I see it in the mirror, eyes turning black Praying to god I can keep it back. [Verse 3] [Deep Gritty Voice] The tremor in my hands, the cold in my chest I’m putting my sanity to the test Is it me, or the thing that lives underneath? Searching for air with its razor teeth One more loop, yeah, play it again It’s the only cure for this dark amen Just hold on, keep the rhythm steady The beast is clawing, it’s always ready. [Chorus] [Female Vocal] When the music plays, the beast is bound Chained by the bass, trapped by the sound But when it stops, the panic starts to crawl How long can I stand before I fall? I’m a ticking clock, I’m a losing bet The hunger in me that I can’t forget Keep the track running, keep me sane Don’t let the silence break the chain. [Outro] [Deep Gritty Voice] Fading out... I can hear it breathing. Don't stop the track. Please, don't stop it. (Beat abruptly cuts to silence) ...I can't hold it anymore.
