IT
[Intro]
[clean electric guitar arpeggio, synth bass, steady drums]
[Verse 1]
[breathy female vocals]
1. I saw it with my closed eyes,
I read it in the never sent replies,
I heard it in the song of life
It kept alive.

I tried to paint it with the words,
I tried to tune it up with several chords,
I tried to send it to the sky,
It kept alive.

[Chorus]
[layered vocal harmonies, driving rhythm]
But It, is under my skin
It, is messing up everything
It.... is a dream, is a curse
And I know It,

It, is under my skin
It, is messing up everything
It,.... is only a dream,
And you know it will
never work

[Verse 2]
[drums continue, guitar riff persists]
2. I touched it with my dirty hands,
I kicked it in the shins with something else,
I smashed it with a pretty smile,
It kept alive.

I changed the seasons in my mind,
I stopped the doggy-teasing, I was tired,
I lost it in my dreams and time…
Is it still alive?

[Chorus]
[full band energy]
But It, is under my skin
It, is messing up everything
It,.... is a dream, is a curse
And you know it will
never work
or will it?
[vocal ad-libs]
Just a thought....., Do with it as you please
[Bridge]
[instrumental section]
[melodic electric guitar solo with light overdrive]

[Outro]
[guitar arpeggio fades, drums and bass exit]
[vocal humming]
