(Intro)
(Atmosphere): Heavy sub-drone. High-pitched, creepy, slow-motion carnival calliope music box melody playing in the background with heavy reverb.
(Whispered - panning left to right):
He’s a player...
(Laughs - pitched down, distorted): Haha...(Whispered): Don't fall for it...
(Sound Effect): Sudden, crisp, high-frequency whip-crack (replaces clap)
(Vocoder voice): It’s all lies.
(Verse 1 - Fast, Staccato rapping, Trap beat kicks in)
(Beat: Sharp snare, rolling hi-hats, bouncy sub-bass)
Told you that you’re only one? (Lie)
Says he’s grown, that he’s done? (Lie)
Promises the world, keep you in the haze
Same old trick, same old wicked ways.
(Glitch effect: Voice chops/repeats) Duh-duh-duh.
(Sound Effect: Distorted circus horn honk)
(Pre-Chorus - Build up, Risers, Vocal gets intense)
(Beat drops out, only rising synth and carnival melody)
Need a little fix?
Need a little reassurance?
You ain't gonna get it.
(Sound effect: Quick, spiraling siren)
He’s lurking, lurking...In the haze.
(Whisper:) Run.
(Chorus - DARK DUBSTEP / CARNIVAL DROP)(Beat: Heavy distorted wubs, syncopated with a sinister, staccato circus brass melody)
It’s lies (Lies!) Lies! (Lies!)
Nothing but lies.
(Wub-wub-wub-wub - Industrial metallic sound)
That boy is a player. Hiding in the haze.
Same old games.(G-g-g-games - Glitched vocal)
(Verse 2 - Gritty, half-time trap rhythm)(Beat: Minimalist, heavy 808s, ominous music box melody)
House is yours? Yeah, that’s a lie.
Paints a picture, disappears in the night.
You think you’re special?
(Pitch shifted down/Demonic) Hell no.(Sound effect: Carousel horse whinny / distorted)
Game’s just begun...Watch him run.
(Chorus - DARK DUBSTEP / CARNIVAL DROP)(Maximum energy, heavy distortion)
It’s lies (Lies!) Lies! (Lies!)
Nothing but lies.
(Wub-wub-wub-wub)
That boy is a player. Hiding in the haze.
Same old games.(G-g-g-games)
(Bridge - Heavy distortion, slow, ominous)(Beat stops. Heavy, slow, industrial stomp)
Mirror. Mirror. Staring at his face.
Wicked smile.
Never gonna change.
(Vocal effect: Ring modulator/Vocoder)Never gonna...NEVER.
(Sound Effect: The carnival music plays, but backwards and distorted)
(Synth Solo / Glitch Drop)An chaotic mix of heavy dubstep bass, glitched-out carnival carousel noises, and broken-record vocal chops.
(Final Chorus - MAX ENERGY)
(All elements combined: Trap drums + Dubstep bass + Circus melody)
It’s lies (Lies!)
Lies! (Lies!)
Nothing but lies.
(Wub-wub-wub-wub)
That boy is a player.
Hiding in the haze.
Same old games.
(Outro - Beat drops out, just bass and whispered vocals)
Same old games...(Echoes into nothing)
(Dark whisper) He's a player.
(Sound Effect: Music box slows down and stops on a dissonant note)
Lies...
(Sudden silence)
