Muddy After School
Grunge anthem with male vocals, mid-tempo swung stomp and crashing accents; verse starts tense and dry with room-tone guitar scrape and pinched low end, pre-chorus opens into rising toms and gang shouts, chorus slams wide with stacked distorted guitars and shouted doubles. Add feedback swells between lines, a reversed cymbal into each chorus, and a noisy tape-stop before the final lift. Mix is raw, punchy, and battered, with close-mic verses and huge ragged hooks., grunge, male vocals

Lyrics
Verse 1
I wore the wrong face to class
Tongue tied up in the latch
My pocket had two cracked stones
And a note I never sent home
You laughed like you knew my name
I said yeah, then I went blank
Felt like a bus with no brakes
Rolling straight through my mistakes
Pre-Chorus
I keep growing into the mess
Too fast for my own chest
Got a heartbeat full of static
And a head full of unfinished
Chorus
I don’t know me yet
I don’t know me yet
Bite my lip, bite my lip
Try to stand, but I slip
I don’t know me yet
I don’t know me yet
Too loud, too young, too raw
Still I sing through the fault
Verse 2
Mom left soup on the stove
Dad was gone by the time I woke
The hallway smelled like rain
And my shoes felt too small again
I wrote my name on the wall
Then I watched it start to fall
Every mirror told the truth
That I’m still half of my youth
Pre-Chorus
I keep growing into the mess
Too fast for my own chest
Got a heartbeat full of static
And a head full of unfinished
Chorus
I don’t know me yet
I don’t know me yet
Bite my lip, bite my lip
Try to stand, but I slip
I don’t know me yet
I don’t know me yet
Too loud, too young, too raw
Still I sing through the fault
Bridge
If I break, let me break loud
Let the whole town hear it now
I’m a fuse in a storm drain
I’m a scream in the pouring rain
Final Chorus
I don’t know me yet
I don’t know me yet
Bite my lip, bite my lip
Try to stand, but I slip
I don’t know me yet
I don’t know me yet
Too loud, too young, too raw
Still I sing through the fault
