Awakened (own lyrics)

[Verse 1 – intimate, breathy vocal, slightly behind the beat, minimal instrumentation, soft pad in background] Spent my whole days walking through this heavy life, heavy life I question all my choices till I get it right, I get it right, I Second guess myself like an addict all the time, all the time I don't behave like the masses they don't play nice, play nice [Bridge – airy, layered vocals, soft reverb, emotive build, subtle echo on last word] Ohhhhh I wanna fight, I wanna fight Ohhhhh I wanna fight, I wanna fight [Chorus – full vocal stack, ethereal, reverb-heavy, slight pitch modulation, layered backing vocals] I cry out to the waking moon like a moth to light, a saddened site I live so I can bathe in wounds it's pain to hide, a sacrifice I I fade in my darkened room I'm afraid to try, myself and I Till I learn to break the rules the worlds not mine, not this time Spent the whole days wondering what I could be, what could I be Like a song to a pastor's sermon speaking to me, It speaks to me, it Lingers on my conscience it never fades away, never fades away I'm gonna break this cycle of decay, of decay [Build up – rising tension, layered vocals, subtle synth swell, increasing filter resonance, slight delay on “fight”] I'm gonna fight, I'm gonna fight Ohhhhh I'm awakened.. I'M AWAKENED [Chorus – full production, light distorted bass under vocals, synth textures, airy backing vocals, layered delay on “mine”] I cried out to the waking moon like a moth to light, a saddened site I lived so I can bathe in wounds it's pain to hide, a sacrifice I I fade in my darkened room was afraid to try, myself and I Now I've learnt to break the rules the world is mine, this world is mine [Outro – minimal instrumentation, reverb-heavy vocals, echoing fade, ethereal atmosphere, soft synth wash, slow pan automation] (This world is mine, mine) (This world is mine, mine) (This world is mine, mine)
