(Intro)
(Atmospheric, lonely piano melody)
(Faint sound of glass shattering in the distance)
(Clean, vulnerable vocals)
Behind closed doors, you’re a different man
A storm I never could quite understand
The walls would shake from the words you’d scream
Breaking my heart and every dream
(Verse 1)
(Bass starts to swell, glitchy percussion enters)
You’d point the finger, lay it all on me
A prisoner in a life they couldn't see
(Vocal begins to stutter and distort)
Behind closed— closed— closed—
I’m just a ghost…
(Pre-Chorus)
(Rising "Rage" synth lead)
(Heavy drum build-up)
(Vocals getting louder and more aggressive)
You tell them you love me
You tell them you’ll never let go
But it’s just an act!
FOR THE FRONT ROW SHOW!
(Chorus - THE DROP)
(140 BPM Heavy Hybrid Trap / Dubstep Drop)
(Distorted 808s and aggressive metallic growls)
OUT IN PUBLIC! YOU’RE A HERO IN THEIR EYES!
(Glitch stutter)
With a perfect smile and a thousand clever lies!
(Wobble bass)
You talk about us like it’s a fairy tale design
While I’m drowning in the truth you left behind!
Yeah, you’re the martyr, and I’m the one to blame
(Heavy distortion)
PLAYING YOUR PART IN THIS TWISTED LITTLE GAME!
(Verse 2)
(Half-time Trap drums, dark melodic synths)
They see me snap, they see me act out
They don’t see the shadows or hear the shout
They tell you that you deserve so much more
While I’m picking up the pieces off the kitchen floor!
(Aggressive vocal layering)
It’s an act!
It’s a fraud!
You’re a god in their eyes!
(Bridge)
(Music cuts to silence, then deep sub-bass pulses)
Behind closed doors... I never mattered at all.
Just a ghost in the hallway, waiting for the fall.
(Heavy "Glitch-Rage" synth riser)
Walking on eggshells!
LIVING IN DREAD!
(Scream)
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
(Final Chorus)
(Maximum intensity, Dubstep growls clashing with Melodic Sad-Pop chords)
OUT IN PUBLIC! YOU’RE A HERO IN THEIR EYES!
With a perfect smile and a thousand clever lies!
You talk about us like it’s a fairy tale design
While I’m drowning in the truth you left behind!
Yeah, you’re the martyr, and I’m the one to blame
PLAYING YOUR PART IN THIS TWISTED LITTLE GAME!
(Outro)
(Beat breaks down into a slow, distorted glitch)
No anger in sight... when the world is watching...
But I’m the only one...
(Music stops abruptly)
Who knows what’s true.
(Whisper)
Behind closed doors...
I'm just a shadow of who I was before.
