[Sound of a flatlining heart monitor — one long, continuous beep. Static crackle underneath.]
Aimee (spoken, gasping, like she's dying):
"They got me.
They got me.
But I'm not...
I'm not...
I'M NOT DONE YET."
[Heart monitor beep sputters. Then — a massive, distorted drum fill. Band explodes.]
---
[Verse 1 Screamed — no melody, pure rhythm]
[Aimee, over a wall of distorted guitars and blast beats]
KNOCKED ME DOWN — I'M ON THE GROUND —
THEY'RE STANDING OVER ME, THEY THINK I'M OUT
BUT THE METER'S FLASHING — THE TIMER'S TICKING —
AND I CAN SEE THEM GRINNING — THEY THINK THEY'RE WINNING —
BUT I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
I'VE BEEN DOWN ON THE FLOOR
AND EVERY TIME I GET UP
I COME BACK HUNGRY FOR MORE —
MORE BLOOD!
MORE FLESH!
MORE SKANKING ON THEIR CHESTS!
[Horns stab — one violent, distorted blast]
---
[Chorus Call and response — frantic]
[Aimee:] SKANK FOR YOUR LIFE!
[Gang:] (SKANK FOR YOUR LIFE!)
[Aimee:] FIGHT FOR YOUR FLESH!
[Gang:] (FIGHT FOR YOUR FLESH!)
[Aimee:] GET UP OFF THE GROUND —
[Gang:] (GET UP!)
[Aimee:] MAKE ANOTHER MESS!
[Aimee:] FFF!
[Gang:] (FFF!)
[Aimee:] FIGHT FOR YOUR FLESH!
[Gang:] (FIGHT!)
[Aimee:] FFF!
[Gang: ](FFF!)
[Aimee:] OR DIE TRYING — I'M NOT FRESH!
[Horns play a two-note, siren-like melody — rising and falling]
---
[Verse 2 Even faster — words tripping over themselves]
MY KNEES ARE BLOODY — MY TEETH ARE LOOSE —
I BIT A GUY'S ANKLE — HE CALLED ME A GOOSE —
A GOOSE?! I'M A BUZZARD, YOU'RE THE CARCASS —
I'LL WEAR YOUR RIBCAGE LIKE A FANCY HARNESS —
THE TIMER'S AT TWO — THE TIMER'S AT ONE —
I SEE A SHOTGUN — I SEE THE SUN —
I GRAB THE BARREL — I PULL IT CLOSE —
I SAY "THANKS FOR THE LIGHT, BUDDY" — AND THEN I —
[Aimee (screaming, alone):]
"EXPLOOOOOODE!"
[Band crashes back in — twice as loud]
---
[Chorus Repeats]
---
[Bridge Tempo cuts in half — heavy, stomping, mosh-ready]
[Slow, sludgy, crushing — 110 BPM]
[Aimee (spoken-sung, low and mean):]
This is the part where you get up.
This is the part where you swing.
This is the part where the pretty girl
Shows you what the buzz axe brings.
[Single, distorted guitar chord. Held.]
[Aimee (whispered):]
"Fight for your life...
Or don't.
I'm not your mother.
I'm just the last thing you'll see before you — "
[Band explodes back to 220 BPM — no warning]
---
[Guitar Solo 8 bars — pure chaos]
---
[Breakdown Call and response — crowd participation]
[Band drops to just drums and bass — Aimee leads the chant]
[Aimee:] I SAY "FIGHT" — YOU SAY "FLESH" —
[Gang:] FLESH!
[Aimee:] I SAY "SKANK" — YOU SAY "MESS" —
[Gang:] MESS!
[Aimee:] I SAY "GET UP OFF THE GROUND" —
[Gang:] GET UP!
[Aimee:] I SAY "DON'T MAKE A SOUND" —
[Gang] (silence)
[Aimee:] GOOD. NOW FIGHT LIKE YOU MEAN IT.
[Gang: (screaming — anything, everything)]
---
[Chorus One final time]
---
[Outro Collapse to heart monitor]
[Band stops mid-chord. Just Aimee, breathing heavy, then the heart monitor from the intro.]
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
[Slowing down.]
Beep. Beep. Beep.
[Slower.]
Beep. Beep.
