#Gummpocolypse Challenge (Cover)
Slow, stripped-down acoustic folk with a deep, gritty male vocal. Minimalist fingerpicking on a worn guitar, steady tempo with raw presence. The voice carries weight, age, and quiet defiance — low, steady, as if singing through dust and smoke. No background vocals, no gloss. Just one man, one mic, and a truth that tastes like iron.

Lyrics
Intro – Vega, dark, tired tone, faint room echo
Okej?
slowly, almost whispering
Yeah…
Thought I’d skip this one.
Guess not.
pause – lazy exhale
The clock strikes twelve.
The hydrant bleeds jam.
The moon’s gone marshmallow.
low chuckle
You know what time it is…
leans back, voice dropping lower
It’s Tuesday again.
The Gummpocolypse begins tonight.
⸻
Verse – half-spoken, half-sung, minimal guitar
Snap-crackle, sugar-shack Lazarus act,
back from the dead with a gelatin smack.
Candy ghosts hum under streetlight glare,
I light a smoke… there’s syrup in the air.
quiet laugh, bitter
They said join the fish — melt away, be sweet.
But I’m too dry for that.
Too human.
Too… unsweet.
⸻
Bridge – darker, slower, voice near whisper
Priest in the alley said,
“There are no choices left. Only flavors.”
I told him,
I don’t do flavors.
I burn.
⸻
Outro – voice fading, almost mumbled
You can keep your candy crown.
I’ll chew the dirt instead.
small pause, tired smile audible
Guess that’s… Option D.
pause – chair creak, faint lighter flick
tchh
Yeah. Tuesday again.
