[Intro – almost whispered, dry, close to the mic] [distant knocking, loud heartbeat, silence] No… Wait… Don’t blink, [Verse 1 – rhythmic, conversational] You drew an escape with invisible ink, Said, “Good Luck,” but I’m on the brink, Keep finding me in lucid dreams, Talkin’ bout a future without these strings, Heads up, Hands down, Smile for the crowd, Everybody’s shameless, But ain’t nobody around, I hear the countdown, Three… Two… ONE… [Pre-Chorus – everything strips away except bass pulse] If I’m gonna break, I’ll break the pattern, If I’m gonna fall, I might just shatter, [Chorus – huge, repetitive, chant-like] FEAR is a monster FEAR is a NO Now’s not the time to freeze Grab your sanity and GOOOOOO, Say no more, Kick that DOOR, World says stop, Fear screams GOOOO! [Drop – no lyrics] [glitch bass, chopped vocal saying “go…go…go…”, door banging rhythm, unexpected half-time switch] [Verse 2 – more aggressive] They sellin’ humans at a clearance sale, Paintin’ colors over chipped up fingernails, They readin’ from the same old page, I’m writin’ in the margins with a diff-er-ent rage, You can keep your perfect, I’ll keep my MESS, Nobody’s reached the top, By simply wearin’ a dress, [Micro Hook] It’s not too late, Your’e not too far, To get out ALIVE [Bridge – almost spoken, intimate] Listen… You hear that? That’s hope Runnin’ out of excuses, You don’t need permission, You need mo-men-tum (complete silence) GO!!!!!! [Final Chorus – layered vocals, bass drop, full emotional breakdown] FEAR is a monster! FEAR is a NO! Now’s not the time to freeze, Grab your sanity and GO! No safe road, No default, No rewind, Gotta take con-TROL Fear is a monster, Fear is a NO! Everybody frozen, I’m already gone, [Outro – whispered over fading ] Wrong place… Right, Life [END]
