Braindead

[Intro – Whispered, glitchy FX, layered screams underneath]
Braindead

You stitched your lies in my skin like thread
But every needle left a voice in my head
I kept them buried…
Now they’re clawing up instead…

[Verse 1 – Aggressive rap-growl hybrid, fast tempo]
I wear my past like a crown of wire
Eyes stitched shut, still seeing fire
Every scar’s a name, every name’s a grave
I learned to suffer just to misbehave
Don’t call it rage, this is ritual
Tongue sharp, heart criminal
You made me crawl through your septic grace
Now I spit truth in your godless face

[Pre-Chorus – Melodic echo, female harmony layered faintly]
You built these catacombs inside of me
And left your ghosts where my soul should be…

[Chorus – Clean vocals w/ scream layering]
Bury me deep, where your secrets sleep!
I’ll rise from the rot where the angels weep
Chains don’t hold me, pain unfolds me
I’m the nightmare born from what you stole from me
(LET IT BLEED!)
(LET IT BLEED!)
⸻
[Breakdown 1 – MONSTER DROP]
(DROP!)
This is where your heaven dies!
Drums of war inside my cries!
SKIN TO DUST! BONES TO FLAME!
I’LL RIP YOUR GOD OUT OF YOUR NAME!
—HEADBANG—
[Verse 
BRAINDEAD!!!!

[Verse 1: Male Vocals]
I've been finding bliss in the apocalypse
Guess I'll be vomiting till I get my fix
Fuck all this, I oughta call it quits
Doctor, doctor, this is so traumatic

[Pre-Chorus: Male Vocals]
You'll never be an astronaut
You'll never lay your hands on the treasure
You're nothing but an afterthought
The sooner you get it, the better

[Chorus: Male & Female vocals, Male]
Higher than a kite, yeah, I'm lighter than a feather
Stay away, stay away, stay the fuck away
Wired every night, then I steal it from another day
There's been a robbery
Tired of the fight, but I'm hyper from the terror
Stay away, stay away, no apologies
Bury those heads and we can all be brain dead

[Verse 2: Male & Female Vocals, male]
We can nail ourselves on to a crucifix
We'll all go on and go, 'cause we're hypocrites
Ain't it bliss living in ego trips?
Jesus Christ, I must be symptomatic

[Pre-Chorus: Male Vocals]
There's nobody that can't be bought
Can anybody handle the pressure?
Like living on a life support
But worried to death 'bout the weather

[Chorus: Male & Female vocals, Male]
Higher than a kite, yeah, I'm lighter than a feather
Stay away, stay away, stay the fuck away
Wired every night, then I steal it from another day
There's been a robbery
Tired of the fight, but I'm hyper from the terror
Stay away, stay away, no more prophecies
Bury those heads and we can all be brain dead

[Breakdown: Male & Female Vocals, Female]
(Hey) We are the sons of daughters
Drowning ourselves under the shallow waters
Taking the lambs to slaughter
We won't be happy till we're drawn and quartered
No, no, an error in the source code
No, no, and now we're dancing to the death throes
Oh, an error in the source code (Hey)
Ah, yeah, an error in the source code

Dark Nu-Metal, powerful male vocals, anthemic build up, bass stabs, guitar, piano, drums, with elements of metalcore
