Clockwork Poison The Pattern

[Intro] [Dark, brooding minor-key guitar arpeggio] [Heavy bass and punchy drums kick in] [Distorted drop-tuned main riff] [Verse 1] [Gritty, restrained baritone vocals] Same cold floor, same broken hands Tracing the lines where the casualty stands I’ve memorized every crack in the wall Built up a fortress just to watch it fall I’m pacing the tracks of a dead routine A rusted gear in a dying machine I swear to myself that tonight is the end Then I reach for the blade like an old best friend [Pre-Chorus] [Building intensity, palm-muted guitar chugs] It’s in my veins, it’s under my skin I’m losing the war that I’m dying to win (Dying to win!) [Chorus] [Explosive, heavy wall of guitars, soaring strained vocals] I’m addicted to the poison that’s killing me slow! Holding onto the fire when I should let go! I’m clawing through ashes to break the design Fighting like hell just to cross the line I survive at all costs, I bleed through the pain Just to fall on my knees in the dark again! Yeah, I break through the storm, I outrun the gale Only to fail! [Post-Chorus] [Heavy syncopated riff] Only to fail! Caught in the pattern again! [Verse 2] [Bass-driven, tense and brooding] Another sunrise, another disguise Wiping the smoke from my hollowed-out eyes I’ve traded my soul just to stay on my feet Tasting the rust of a bitter defeat How do I shatter the loop in my head? When the venom I hate is the way that I’m fed? I’m tearing the wires, I’m fighting the tide With the enemy locked on the other side! [Pre-Chorus] [Drums building, vocals rising with grit] It’s in my veins, it’s under my skin I’m losing the war that I’m dying to win (Tear it all down!) [Chorus] [Explosive, heavy wall of guitars, soaring strained vocals] I’m addicted to the poison that’s killing me slow! Holding onto the fire when I should let go! I’m clawing through ashes to break the design Fighting like hell just to cross the line I survive at all costs, I bleed through the pain Just to fall on my knees in the dark again! Yeah, I break through the storm, I outrun the gale Only to fail! [Bridge] [Music drops out to a haunting clean guitar and bass] [Low, tense whispered vocals] Step out of line... Shatter the glass... Leave the routine in the past... [Sudden heavy drum fill] [Aggressive visceral fry screams] BREAK THE PATTERN! BURN THE CAGE! TEAR MYSELF RIGHT OFF THE PAGE! I FOUGHT FOR EVERY SINGLE BREATH! SO WHY DO I STILL CRAVE THE DEATH?! [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, dark, crying high-gain guitar solo over heavy rhythmic chugs] [Final Chorus] [Maximum intensity, layered vocal harmonies] I’m addicted to the poison that’s killing me slow! Holding onto the fire when I should let go! I’m clawing through ashes to break the design Fighting like hell just to cross the line! I survive at all costs, I bleed through the pain Just to fall on my knees in the dark again! Yeah, I break through the storm, I outrun the gale Only to fail! [Outro] [Heavy slow-tempo breakdown riff] Survive at all costs... (Break the routine!) Survive at all costs... (Nothing stays clean!) I gave it my all, yeah, I bled through the nail... [Vocals fade into a strained scream] ONLY TO FAIL! [Final heavy ringing guitar chord] [Fade out] ____________ Thank you for checking out the Cool Kids Corner (Dubbed by my oldest two kids).
