Friendship

[Intro: Act I — Silence] (Atmospheric pad, deep bass, sound of breathing) Quiet... Strange thing... [Chorus: Act I] (Restrained, intimate, melodic whisper) Strange thing — is this friendship? Sometimes you're needed by everyone... Sometimes you're just a void... You love someone so tirelessly... And someone forgot that you exist... [Verse 1] (Rhythmic spoken word, voice close, dry) In this world of friends and foes We live without learning the basics. Nothing's black or white here — No one cares, it's all the same. [Pre-Chorus] (Build-up begins, kick drum enters) But something's gnawing from inside... You hear the pulse? One, two, three... [Chorus: Act II — Realization] (Louder, wider, backing vocals) Strange thing — this friendship! You're needed... sometimes... You're a void... sometimes... You love someone so tirelessly! And someone forgot... Forgot that you exist! [Verse 2] (More aggressive, through a filter, with anguish) You lived long, dreaming of love, Forgetting that happiness is only in spite of. No one will remember you like that, Like a best friend... only you... [Bridge: Turning Point] (Beat breaks, glitchy rhythm, silence before the storm) Forget... (pause) And remember! (pause) And again once more! Come on! [Final Chorus: Act III — Explosion and Acceleration] (Faster by 15-20 BPM! Broken beat, heavy bass, distorted vocals) Strange thing — IS THIS FRIENDSHIP?! Sometimes you're needed by everyone! (Everyone!) Sometimes you're a void! (Void!) You love someone so tirelessly! And someone forgot... FORGOT THAT YOU EXIST! [Outro: Dissolution] (Sudden silence, only echo and heavy breathing) You exist... You exist... (Click, end)
