Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1- A filthy, synthesized bass line and a mechanical, stomping drum beat. Guitars are playing a muted, rhythmic chug. The vocals are a strained, gritty melody, right on the edge of breaking.] I try to breathe, but the atmosphere is venomous I’m counting curses, feeling totally hollowed out This daily grind is a terminal paralysis The dam breaks open and the water takes us down. [Chorus- Huge, dissonant, open-string guitar chords locking in with massive cymbals. tragic synths wail overhead.] We're nothing more than savage beasts inside a cage! But we are terrified to see the blood! Don't look at me to be the hero of the simulation, When the script is begging me to light the match! Should I just light the match?! Should I just light the match?! [Verse 2- Drops immediately back to the gritty, industrial synth and drum groove. Extremely tense and claustrophobic. Vocals are delivered with a cynical, biting edge.] I braced my spine, I swore that I could hold the line The fault line fractured, now I’m slipping out of time I burned the bridge, the only exit left behind The dam breaks open and the water takes us down. [Pre-Chorus- the music cuts out completely. A single, echoing, ethereal synth note rings out.] This existence is a coma within a dream [Chorus- the massive, stomping wall of sound returns with full force.] We're nothing more than savage beasts inside a cage! But we are terrified to see the blood! Don't look at me to be the hero of the simulation, When the script is begging me to light the match! [Breakdown- the tempo stays the same, but the rhythm gets incredibly syncopated and complex—classic Architects. Guitars drop down to impossibly low, rhythmic stabs. The synths turn into a terrifying, choral swell.] [Vocals: A mix of soaring, tragic cleans and visceral fry screams.] Choking on the ash, a ruby in the dust! Eternity is watching, while we shatter an empire made of mirrors! [Deep, guttural low] A coma within a... coma within a... DREAM! [Chorus- The soaring, tragic synth sweeps completely take over the heavy guitar groove.] We're nothing more than savage beasts inside a cage! But we are terrified to see the blood! Don't look at me to be the hero of the simulation, When the script is begging me to light the match! [Outro- the groove locks in one final time, heavier and filthier than before. Sirens wail in the background. Pure, rhythmic destruction.] We're nothing more than savage beasts inside a cage! But we are terrified to see the blood! Don't look at me to be the hero of the simulation, When the script is begging me to light the match! [Heavy guitar bend and chug] Should I just light the match?! [Syncopated drum fills] Should I just light the match?! [Desperate, tearing scream] SHOULD I JUST LIGHT THE MATCH?! SHOULD I JUST LIGHT THE MATCH?! [Intrumental outro- math rock technicality and insane riffs play out]
