Become

Lyrics: [INTRO] (Atmospheric synth pads with a light digital crackle. A hip-hop drum break enters, layered with a distorted, driving bass line. Turntable scratches transition into the verse.) [VERSE 1] (Rap - Urgent and rhythmic) Why does it feel like night today? Something in here's not right today Why am I so uptight today? Paranoia's all I got left I don't know what stressed me first Or how the pressure was fed But I know just what it feels like To have a voice in the back of my head [PRE-CHORUS] (Melodic - Building tension, guitars start to swell) You love the way I look at you While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through You take away if I give in My life, my pride is broken... [CHORUS] (Full Band - Heavy, distorted guitars & soaring vocals) And now you've become a part of me You'll always be right here! You've become a part of me You'll always be my fear! I can't separate myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you! [VERSE 2] (Rap - More focused and aggressive) It’s like I’m looking in a mirror but the face isn’t mine I’m tracing every mistake, I’m crossing every line I try to scream but the oxygen is thin in this room I’m building up the walls just to seal my own doom And every time I think I’ve finally found the exit sign I realize the hand that’s holding me back is actually mine (Is actually mine...) [PRE-CHORUS] (Guitars chugging, drums building to a crescendo) You love the way I look at you While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through You take away if I give in My life, my pride is broken... [CHORUS] (Explosive energy) And now you've become a part of me You'll always be right here! You've become a part of me You'll always be my fear! I can't separate myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you! [BRIDGE] (Music drops out to a clean, haunting guitar melody) I will never know myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed I will never be anything 'til I break away from me I will break away, I'll find myself today... [BREAKDOWN] (Maximum intensity - Double-time drums and heavy down-tuned riffs) (Screamed) You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY! You try to take the best of me... GO AWAY! [FINAL CHORUS] (Anthemic - Wall of sound) And now you've become a part of me You'll always be right here! You've become a part of me You'll always be my fear! I can't separate myself from what I've done Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you! [OUTRO] (Heavy guitar rhythm matches the final words) I've let myself become you... (Screamed) GO AWAY! Giving up a part of me... (Screamed) GO AWAY! (Music cuts to a lingering electronic hum, then silence)
