Bloomer - The Antidote
Unfamiliar intro melody with bright glockenspiel, echo-drenched mallets, and hushed breathy pads, then an angry art-pop groove: thunderous timpani rolls, distorted kick, syncopated snare, serrated synth bass, gritty electric guitars, layered vocals, cowbells, and off-axis electronic textures. Slow ethereal ambient pulse, filter-lift crescendo, stark interlude.

Lyrics
singer A
Stockholm syndrome from my
Basement window
Crawling under my skin
I ignored all the warnings
And turned the brain I was born in
To someone I don't know
Oh
I'm on the brink of the brink
Running dry when I bleed
And I know when I go they won't remember me
melodic interlude
singer B
Every thought grows thorns now
every touch says "don’t get close"
I poison everything till it wilts
every room, every root that I hold
Drink the guilt like cheap medicine
but it’s carving out a hole
singer A
But I'd kill to live for thrills
Screaming out a melody I can't hear
I poison everything 'till it wilts
I need the antidote
singer B
Down and out
I’m out when I’m down and out
I’ll just be falling forever
I need the antidote
Write it into my veins, my throat
before I’m gone for good, gone for good
singer A
Notice the darkness growing on you
I need the antidote
Give me catharsis a new point of view
I need the antidote
Ooh ooh
I need the antidote
Ooh ooh
I need the antidote
singer B
If I’m the one that’s killing the garden
why do I beg it to grow?
I keep choking on habits
I swore I’d outgrow
singer A
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
singer B
Is there a version of me
that I haven’t ruined yet?
Could you cut this curse from my tongue
before it spreads?
singer A
I know when I go they won't remember me
I need the antidote
singer B + A
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I don't want to be falling forever
I need the antidote
Ooh ooh
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I don't want to be falling forever
I need the antidote
Ooh ooh
I need the antidote
Ooh ooh
