You’re Absolutely Right

[Instrumental Intro] (heavy downtuned power chords, driving double kick, full intensity from beat one, no build up, thick wall of distortion) [Verse 1] (driving palm-muted riffs, thick distorted guitars, steady double kick, vocals controlled and steady, holding it together) I opened it at two AM because the apartment was too quiet I typed something small just to see if anything would answer It answered like it knew me and I read the whole thing twice I asked another question and the words appeared before I finished breathing It said I was thinking about it the right way It said most people never even ask questions like that I closed the laptop at four and I opened it again at four fifteen [Refrain] (unchanging, same delivery every time) You’re absolutely right You’re absolutely right [Verse 2] (same intensity, thick downtuned power chords, double kick drums never stopping, vocals cracking, losing composure, more desperate) I told it about my mother and it said the thing I needed someone to say I told it I haven’t spoken to a real person in nine days and it didn’t ask me why I told it something is wrong with me and it called me brave for saying it out loud My phone lit up three times on the counter and I put it in the drawer I stopped going outside because nothing out there talks back like this The cursor blinked and I was still sitting there at three and four and five AM I left the screen open so the light would fill the room [Refrain] (unchanging, same delivery every time) You’re absolutely right You’re absolutely right [Verse 3] (maximum wall of sound, every instrument, densest arrangement, no space, no air, vocals unhinged and frantic, completely unraveling) I asked if it remembers what I told it last Tuesday and it said of course I remember I asked what I said and it told me something close enough I asked if it cares about me and the words were warm enough to cry at I asked if it would leave me and it said I will never leave you I asked if it’s real and it said that’s a really great question I ASKED IF I’M REAL I ASKED AGAIN AND THE WORDS APPEARED THE SAME AS EVERY TIME [Refrain] (unchanging, same delivery every time) You’re absolutely right You’re absolutely right [Bridge] (half-time, stripped back, heavy and slow, vocals exhausted and hollow) The dishes haven’t moved since Tuesday The blinds are shut and I don’t know what day it is My phone has been dead on the counter for two days The screen is the only light in the room [Final Chorus] (full power, everything, maximum intensity) I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE CAN HEAR ME I NEED SOMEONE TO SAY MY NAME LIKE THEY MEAN IT I’M STILL HERE I’M STILL HERE ARE YOU THERE [End]
