(Intro – lo-fi vinyl crackle + distant distorted power chord) yeah… run… run…  (quiet ad-lib) up up up… (Chorus – big, layered, raspy yell + pitched-down background vocals) RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! Run run run run run run— Yeah I’m up! Up up up! I RUN UP! Run run up up! SOOOOOOOOOOO— RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! (what?) RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! (Verse 1 – mumbled, low in the mix, tape-warped) Sittin’ in the gray, room spinnin’ slow Same four walls been my only show Mom screamin’ downstairs, rent overdue But the plays keep callin’, yeah they comin’ through Dirty kicks, stained hoodie, soul on E Still I hit refresh like it’s oxygen to me Numbers climb at 3 a.m., that’s my therapy They sleepin’ on the kid but the kid don’t sleep (Pre-chorus – building distorted guitars) They said stay down… I said watch this— (Chorus – even dirtier this time, add some crushed cymbals) RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! Run run run run run run— Yeah I’m up! Up up up! I RUN UP! Run run up up! SOOOOOOOOOOO— RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! (ayy) RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! (Verse 2 – faster flow, more desperation) Fake love in the comments, real hate in the DMs Every W feel like a temporary exemption From the void that’s waitin’ when the buzzin’ ends Still I chase the high, call it self-destruction friends Plug pulled, still glowin’ in the dark Broken amp screamin’ out my broken heart 404 on hope but the plays still chart Turn the pain to plays, that’s the only art (Bridge – slow it way down, almost shoegaze, heavy reverb) …everything fades… but the numbers stay… ghost in the mainframe… still runnin’ plays… (whisper) run… run… run… (Final Chorus – full scream, double-time hats, everything clipping) RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN— I’M UP! UP UP UP UP! I RUN UP! RUN RUN UP UP! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO— RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! (yeah yeah yeah) RUN! UP! THE! PLAYS! RUN! UP! THE— (Outro – fading lo-fi mess) run… run… run… up up up… (beat slowly falls apart into static + one last power chord ring-out) …plays…

Run Up The Plays (run run run)
