Starve The Flesh (21 Days) [Cinematic Rock, Heavy Drums, Rhythmic Scatting, Percussive Vocals, Aggressive, Motivational, Ad-libs, High Energy, Imagine Dragons Vibe] [Intro] [Deep War Drums beat. Heavy breathing.] [Rhythmic Vocal Scat - Percussive] Da-da-doom! Da-da-doom! Ra-ta-ta-TA! (Spoken, low) January First. (Ad-lib) Let's go to war! [Verse 1] The calendar turns, the slate is clean. I’m stepping into a battle that can’t be seen. (Can't be seen!) My body is screaming, it wants to be fed. But I’m listening to a different voice in my head. No bread, no meat, just water and tea. Breaking the chains that have been holding me. (Break 'em!) The hunger is sharp, yeah, the hunger is real. But I’m trading a meal for a spiritual seal. [Chorus] [Explosion of sound. Massive Drums.] I’m gonna STARVE THE FLESH! To feed the ghost! I’m giving up the things that I wanted the most! Empty the cup! (Empty it!) Fill the spirit up! (Fill it up!) Twenty-one days in the cleansing fire! I’m burning out every selfish desire! Starve the flesh! [Hook] [Chanted War Cry] Tea and Water! (That's all I need!) Tea and Water! (It's time to feed!) My spirit is rising! (Rising up!) My flesh is dying! (Give it up!) [Vocal Scat] Dum-da-da-dum-da-da-HEY! [Verse 2] Day Seven hits and I’m feeling the shake. The enemy whispers, "Go ahead, take a break." (Don't you do it!) But I sip on the tea and I fall to my knees. I’m stronger than cravings, I’m stronger than these! I’m clearing the fog, I’m sharpening the mind. Leaving the comfort of the table behind. It’s a sacrifice, yeah, it’s a heavy cost. But I’m finding the pieces of me that were lost. [Chorus] I’m gonna STARVE THE FLESH! To feed the ghost! I’m giving up the things that I wanted the most! Empty the cup! (Empty it!) Fill the spirit up! (Fill it up!) Twenty-one days in the cleansing fire! I’m burning out every selfish desire! Starve the flesh! [Verse 3] [Music drops to just bass and vocals. Intense focus.] Now I'm seeing colors that I never saw. I'm rewriting the code, I'm rewriting the law. The headache is gone, the vision is clear. I conquered the stomach, I conquered the fear! (I conquered it!) I don't need the food to tell me who I am. I'm walking in power! I'm sticking to the plan! Twenty-one days... watch me stand! [Bridge] [Rhythmic Scatting - Building to climax] Ra-ta-ta-ta-doom! (Starve it!) Ra-ta-ta-ta-doom! (Kill it!) Just water. (Wash me clean!) Just fire. (Burn the scene!) Just spirit. (Make me whole!) Just Jesus. (Take control!) YEAH! [Final Chorus - Maximum Energy] I’m gonna STARVE THE FLESH! To feed the ghost! I’m giving up the things that I wanted the most! Empty the cup! Fill the spirit up! Twenty-one days in the cleansing fire! Starve the flesh! [Outro] [Vocal Scat fading out with drums] Da-da-doom... Da-da-doom... (Spoken, whisper) Control. (Song ends)
