Ghost of "MVSSY LVND"

(Intro: 150 BPM. Starts with a haunting, out-of-tune music box melody. Slowly, a distorted, heavy 808 bass slides in under the twinkling bells. The sound of a distant, warped carnival whistle echoes. A glitchy vocal filter sweeps in.)

Wake me up when the carnival ends.

When the lights go out.

And no longer shine bright.

When the crowd leaves.

And the clowns begin to frown.

Hahaha

(Verse 1: Hybrid Trap style. Fast, ticking hi-hats. Heavy atmosphere.)

The darkness overshadows the Missy Land town

I don’t want to smile, I just want to fade away now

Tired of living in this miserable place

Staring at the makeup running down my face

I thought you were the one, boy I was wrong

Now I’m just the rhythm of a broken song

So let me go, let the curtains just fall

I’m tired of standing, I’d rather just crawl.

(Chorus: Melodic Glitch. High energy but melancholy chords.)

I’m gonna pack up with this circus and leave

Never looking back, nothing up my sleeve

I’ll be a ghost of your past, a flicker in the dark

Only here to perform, I’ve lost the spark

One day I’ll smile, I’ll shine brighter than the sun

But until then, I’m the forgotten one

Just leave me behind in this rainy weather

It’s time to break the bond that held us together.

(Drop 1: Carnival Electro. Aggressive, bouncy bassline. Synth leads that sound like distorted calliope whistles. Heavy "glitch" stutters every 4th bar. Metallic percussion.)

(Verse 2: Half-time feel. Bass stays heavy but the melody gets lonely.)

The tent has a tear, I’m getting all wet

Gotta patch it back up, but I’m not there yet

Just like my heart, the stitching is frayed

Paying the price for the games that we played

But I will survive, yeah, I’m finding my feet

A little rain never hurt, I won't accept defeat

I’m taking back my pride from the mud on the floor

I don’t need your shadow over me anymore.

(Chorus: Melodic Glitch. High energy but melancholy chords.)

I’m gonna pack up with this circus and leave

Never looking back, nothing up my sleeve

I’ll be a ghost of your past, a flicker in the dark

Only here to perform, I’ve lost the spark

One day I’ll smile, I’ll shine brighter than the sun

But until then, I’m the forgotten one

Just leave me behind in this rainy weather

It’s time to break the bond that held us together.

(Bridge: Ethereal, stripped back. Lots of reverb.)

I’m dancing with the clowns. I will find my groove.

Show off a fake smile. Wait for the mood to move.

Until I feel like myself...Until I’m off the shelf...

I’m better off without you.

(Vocal builds up, getting more distorted)

(Screams)

I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU!

(Drop 2: Hybrid Trap / Glitch. Maximum intensity. Deep, vibrating 808s. Rapid-fire snare rolls. The music box theme from the intro returns but layered with a screaming synth.)

(Outro: Tempo slows down artificially. Sounds like a record slowing to a stop.)

Wake me up when the carnival ends.

When the lights go out.

(Sound of a heavy tent zipper closing)

(Final, single music box note)
