Battery Low

{delicate

FM synth arpeggios, soft warm analog pad swelling,

minimal sub-bass, 112 BPM,

key of E minor}

Gave a little piece to everyone

Smiled until my jaw was sore

Answered every single message

Then collapsed behind the door

Running on a single percent

Pretending I was fully charged

Lighting up for everybody

While I'm falling apart in the dark

Battery low,

battery low

Nothing left for me to give Battery low,

battery low

Something's gotta let me live

Always on and always ready

Never once allowed to rest

Everybody needs me plugged in

Nobody can see the stress

When did helping turn to hiding

When did strong become a cage

Smiling is my greatest program Burning is my silent stage

(ooh, ooh) Battery low,

battery low

Nothing left for me to give

Battery low,

battery low

Something's gotta let me live

Tonight I'm turning off the signal

Tonight I'm closing every door

I'm not broken, I'm not empty

I just need to recharge more

{tempo slows slightly, drums drop out,

analog pads open up}

Battery low, battery low

But I'm finally letting go

Battery low, battery low

Watch me find a softer glow

(ooh, ooh)

{drums return gently, warm synth lift} {glowing analog pad fades out,

delicate arpeggio loops slowly decay,

final warm heartbeat kick}
