Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
Heavy gloomy alternative metal with a slow stomp pulse and half-time drums, detuned guitars grinding under a low synth drone; verse 1 stays sparse with voice and distorted bass, pre-chorus narrows to toms and rising feedback, chorus crashes wide with gang shouts and choked doubles, bridge turns into a haunting chant over pulsing reverb tails, final chorus adds octave harmonies and a broken bell hit. Dark, huge, and claustrophobic mix., experimental, electric

Lyrics
Verse 1
I signed my name in pen
At the iron gate
Brown box in my hands
For Room Fourteen
The nurse eyed my shoes
Then eyed my face
Said, "Honey, you're early"
And locked the chain
Pre-Chorus
They took my box
They took my keys
They said, "Come in"
They said, "Ease"
Cold white hall
Long green stain
My name came off
Like wet paint
Chorus
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
They called me that
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
I never came back
(Whack Shack)
(Toottie Fruity)
Verse 2
Straps on the chair
Like a second skin
Rubber on my wrists
And a grin from him
He wrote my pulse
On a dusty chart
Then flipped the switch
And split my dark
Pre-Chorus
They said, "Hold still"
I said, "I'm not"
They said, "Relax"
Then the room went hot
Saw my shoes
Leave the floor
Heard my own voice
From the door
Chorus
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
They called me that
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
I never came back
(Whack Shack)
(Toottie Fruity)
Verse 3
I bit my tongue
Till the blood ran sweet
Counted cracked tiles
Under me
A man in green
With a face like wax
Wrote "new patient"
On my back
A light in my eyes
A knife in my brain
Every little spark
Had a different name
My delivery slip
Fell in the sink
And I watched my world
Start to blink
Pre-Chorus
They said, "One more"
Then "One more" again
The walls leaned close
Like old dead friends
My box was gone
My coat was too
I was just a file
In a room of blue
Chorus
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
They called me that
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
I never came back
(Whack Shack)
(Toottie Fruity)
Bridge
Hush now
Hush now
The hallway sings
Hush now
Hush now
Chain and ring
My mouth full of thunder
My hands full of rust
They made a man
Out of panic and dust
Verse 4
Now I walk that hill
When the moon hangs low
Past the cracked front step
And the deadbolt glow
I leave no box
I leave no trace
Just my name scratched hard
On a blank white place
If you hear that chant
Down the ward at night
Don't answer back
Don't step inside
They still got a chair
And a smile that cracks
For the next lost soul
At the Whack Shack
Chorus
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
They called me that
Toottie Fruity Whack Shack
I never came back
(Whack Shack)
(Toottie Fruity)
