[Intro — breath count + whispers]
tick… tick… tick… (breathe in)
(whisper L) right now … (whisper R) say less … (soft inhale)
oh-na-na… hey-hey… la-la… lights low… (boom-boom heartbeat kick)

[Verse 1 — confessional glide]
Billboards stitch my face in thirty-foot lies,
neon peels the night like citrus from the skies.
Morse on the ribcage: tap-tap—don’t sign,
panic on credit, I’m paying in time.
Mom said guard your lungs; the city sold me smoke,
I pawned a sunrise—store credit for hope.
Mirrors invoice what I already own—
my name, repossessed, walking home.

(ad-libs: “mmm… closer” “right now”)

[Pre-Chorus — rise + bell arps]
1-2-3 (breathe) — align the spine,
follow the pulse, fall into time.
say less—right now (whisper) — don’t think, just move,
again-again—on repeat, we groove.

[Chorus — mantra hook (gang doubles)]
No deal—no deal—no deal (I’m real). (hey-hey)
Break the pen—let the blacklight peel. (whoa-oh)
If I fall, I fall as me—untied.
Say less—say less—won’t sell my side.
No deal—no deal—no deal (I heal). (oh-na-na)
Red ink runs, but I won’t kneel. (boom-boom)
Light me up—I scorch the seal—
No deal, no deal. (ooh-la-la)

[Post-Chorus — earworm weave + breaths]
on repeat • right now • don’t let go • let it ride • la-la • lights low
(whisper loop) closer… closer… (soft exhale)

[Verse 2 — pulse talk-sing]
Therapist maps wolves in highlighter moons,
A&R voicemails: “bleed by noon.”
Receipts of promises overdrafting sleep,
my shadow tried to rob me—left a note: we keep.
I tango with thunder, heel-toe past dread,
teach lightning how to whisper, then sign the stead.
City sets a metronome inside my chest—
I flip the summons to a rest.

(ad-libs: “yeah-yeah” “right now”)

[Pre-Chorus — repeat + call]
1-2-3 (inhale) — align, align,
say less—right now — follow the line.
don’t let go—on repeat — we shine,
ooh-la-la—let it ride — you’re mine.

[Drop Chant — 23 earworms (stacked, antiphonal)]
oh-na-na • yeah-yeah • right now • on repeat • don’t let go • let it ride • ooh-la-la • whoa-oh • hey-hey • boom-boom • la-la • hands up • lights low • top down • say less • my name • closer • again-again • ignite • tick-tock • call me • we won’t stop • all night

[Bridge — hypnosis break (theta up, whispers/asides)]
(whisper L) read the fine print: fear in italics…
(whisper R) margin notes: grief in brackets…
(center) breathe in… hold… release… (reverse cymbal → swell)
(half-shout) I keep my name—your hands off the lease.
(ASMR count-down over pad) five… four… three… two… rise.

[Final Chorus — key lift + alpha lift, crowd call]
No deal—no deal—no deal (I’m real). (hey-hey)
Break the pen—let the blacklight peel. (whoa-oh)
If I fall, I fall as me—untied.
Say less—say less—won’t sell my side.
No deal—no deal—no deal (I heal). (oh-na-na)
Blacklight truth spins on the reel. (boom-boom)
Hands up—hearts loud—we peel, we heal—
No deal, no deal. (ooh-la-la)

[Final Post — trance loop (fade-out spiral)]
(whisper canon) right now… on repeat… don’t let go… let it ride…
oh-na-na… yeah-yeah… hey-hey… whoa-oh… boom-boom…
tick… tick… tick… (breathe out)
