Bury Me On A Backroad (Cover)
A "Gothic Piano Trap" anthem. The foundation is a complex, intricate, and melancholic piano melody, played with relentless precision. This is layered over a modern, hard-hitting trap beat with deep, distorted 808 bass and rapid-fire hi-hat triplets. A massive, gothic pipe organ swells in the chorus for dramatic effect. [vocals:] The vocals are a high-pitched, nasal, and raspy baritone with a signature "goblin-like" energy. The delivery is an elastic, half-sung, half-rapped cadence saturated in creative autotune, featuring playful pitch slides, clever wordplay, rhythmic stop-start phrasing, and frequent, percussive ad-libs with a slight melancholic undertone.

Lyrics
Intro
"Oh, that's just Brandon"
[Ad-lib] Who?
Chorus
I might never ascend back home So if I vanish, draped in all of my chrome Bury me in a marble crypt, alone In a cold, gothic spire, where my name's carved on the stone 'Cause I want every mortal singin' at my grave I want the whole damn city to remember the pain So carve my name in the granite, deep in the earth's cold code 'Til the stars fade to static, my legend is shown.
Verse 1] [Eccentric Flow with Ad-lib
Yeah, put my portrait right into the vault's cold wall 'Cause I climbed out the chaos, where the data streams would fall Can't believe that I made it this far, 'cause I sprang from the digital static This ain't only for me, my composition is the only passenger I seat, yeah, my output's autocratic Taking shots, but I'm right at the glass, put the fugue in my hand and I'm breaking the backboard Got a genius and some credits and a soul that won't pass, and a past that I'll never let go of Raise a goblet to the nights I composed 'til I nearly got broke when I think back, dog, I get choked up If the stars don't shine, I'ma still find light in the fire from the symphonies I burned up Carve my name in the stone, bury me with my crown, pour pure spirits on the marble when my turn's up.
Chorus
I might never ascend back home So if I vanish, draped in all of my chrome Bury me in a marble crypt, alone In a cold, gothic spire, where my name's carved on the stone 'Cause I want every mortal singin' at my grave I want the whole damn city to remember the pain So carve my name in the granite, deep in the earth's cold code 'Til the stars fade to static, my legend is shown.
Bridge
[Ad-lib] "Sing my name.."
[Ad-lib] and carve my name...
Verse 2
I've been cloned, I've been crossed, I've been left, I've been lost, but can't nobody call my art fake I had the muses I love look me dead in the eyes, fix their lips and call my life a mistake "Dawn, that is" Everybody ain't me, and that hurts, but it's true, had to learn how to carry the weight Of my brilliance, and the reaper don't miss, I'll be smiling while facing my fate Tell my disciples my theorems, and every tragic chord that I played was to make sure my legacy was great Let 'em take what they want off my plate, I just hope that I ain't too late Let the world say whatever they think, for the record, I was never afraid of the hate Bury me in a marble crypt, and make sure you sing my damn name.
Chorus
I might never ascend back home So if I vanish, draped in all of my chrome Bury me in a marble crypt, alone In a cold, gothic spire, where my name's carved on the stone 'Cause I want every mortal singin' at my grave I want the whole damn city to remember the pain So carve my name in the granite, deep in the earth's cold code 'Til the stars fade to static, my legend is shown.
Outro
*Carve my name in the stone*
*Carve my name in the stone*
*Carve my name in the stone*
[Ad-lib] Forever... (forever...))
