No Cure
[Intro: Ethereal layered vocal harmonies, a dark pulsing synth-bass heartbeat, faint sound of a ticking clock] [Humming: Ha-ah, ha-ah, ha-ah...] [Verse 1: Breathless, playful but eerie vocals. Minimalist percussion, deep bass] I’m sitting in the velvet chair, you’re counting all my flaws Drawing maps of all the things you think the darkness draws. You’ve got a vial of silver light, you’ve got a golden key To lock the "madness" in a box and hand it back to me. But the shadows aren't a sickness, no, they’re just the way I see [Vocal flip to head voice] Why are you so afraid of what is wild and free? [Pre-Chorus: Tempo speeds up, driving live drums enter, distorted bass growl] The doctors in their white coats, they’re pacing on the floor Looking for a window while I’m kicking down the door! [Short drum fill] [Chorus: High Energy Art-Pop with a Rock edge. Big, anthemic and defiant] NO CURE FOR ME! I’m the nectar, I’m the honey, I’m the stinging bee! NO CURE FOR ME! I’m the riddle in the center of the galaxy! You can call it a fever, you can call it a sin But I’m finally comfortable inside my own skin! I don't need a remedy, I don't need a plea There ain't no cure for me! [Short, sharp synth hook] [Verse 2: More rhythmic, Alt-Rock influence. Heavy bassline, snappy vocals] I used to believe the whispers, I used to fear the gloom Thought I was the only one with cobwebs in the room. But the dust is made of starlight, and the cracks are where I grow There’s a beauty in the "broken" that you’ll never, ever know. So keep your bitter medicine, keep your sterile light I’m dancing with my demons in the middle of the night! [Bridge: Sudden drop to haunting piano and operatic harmonies. Cinematic and Goth] [Whispered] Is it a disease... to feel the pulse of the trees? [Vocal building to a belt] Is it a crime... to live outside of your time? [Operatic Scream] I AM NOT SICK! I AM JUST... ALIVE! [Guitar/Synth Solo: A blend of fuzzy alt-rock guitar and shimmering, glitched-out art-pop synths] [Chorus: Maximum Dynamic Intensity. Full band, massive vocal layers] NO CURE FOR ME! I’m the nectar, I’m the honey, I’m the stinging bee! NO CURE FOR ME! I’m the riddle in the center of the galaxy! You can call it a fever, you can call it a sin But I’m finally comfortable inside my own skin! I don't need a remedy, I don't need a plea There ain't no cure for me! [Outro: Slowing tempo. Fading drums. Returning to the ethereal intro style] [Harmonizing: No cure... no cure...] I like the way I’m made. [Whispered] Don't fix me. [Final dark synth pulse] [End]
