Wired This Way - Auditions

**Verse 1:** I'm always scanning the room, eyes darting fast, Every move that I make, it feels like it’s my last, Seeking approval in every glance, Living on the edge, never taking a chance. **Pre-Chorus:** Circuits always buzzing, nerves set to ignite, Living for the praise, but it’s a constant fight. **Chorus:** I’m wired this way, afraid of the fire, Tragically numb, in a never-ending tire. I’m wired this way, afraid of the fire, Tragically numb, in a never-ending tire. **Verse 2:** I had to block it all out, just to survive the pain, But my body’s a vault, where the memories remain. So I remain, a coiled spring, always wound tight, Can’t feel the love, can’t cry at night. **Pre-Chorus:** Circuits always buzzing, nerves set to ignite, Living for the praise, but it’s a constant fight. **Chorus:** I’m wired this way, afraid of the fire, Tragically numb, in a never-ending tire, I’m wired this way, afraid of the fire, Tragically numb, in a never-ending tire. **Bridge:** Block it, block it out, the pain in my chest, Block it, block it out, just give me a rest, Block it, block it out, I’m doing my best, I’m sorry, I can’t help it, I’m wired this way. **Chorus:** I’m wired this way, afraid of the fire, Tragically numb, in a never-ending tire, I’m wired this way, afraid of the fire, Tragically numb, in a never-ending tire. **Outro:** I’m wired this way, circuits always charged, Living for the smiles, but my heart’s been barged, I’m wired this way, trapped in this design, Tragically numb, forever toeing the line. [Verse 1 - Sitar and Ambient Synth] I'm always scanning the room, heart beating fast, Every move that I make, feels like it’s my last, My body’s in motion, I fly through the night, Escaping the shadows, avoiding the light. [Pre-Chorus - Dynamic Drums and Ambient Synth] Circuits sparking, nerves set to blaze, I’m just surviving, lost in the haze. [Chorus - Soaring Choruses] I’m wired this way, frozen in time, Tragically still, in this body of mine. I’m wired this way, frozen in time, Tragically still, in this body of mine. [Verse 2 - Aggressive Guitar Riffs and Dynamic Drums] The pounding in my chest, the urge to turn and flee, Each step a frantic sprint, from what I cannot see… Locked in a moment, time stands still, Frozen by fear, against my will. [Pre-Chorus - Dynamic Drums and Ambient Synth] Circuits sparking, nerves ablaze, Caught in survival, lost in the gaze. [Chorus - Energetic Guitar Plucking and Soaring Choruses] I’m wired this way, frozen in time, Tragically still, in this body of mine. I’m wired this way, frozen in time, Tragically still, in this body of mine. [Bridge - Sitar Accents and Ambient Synth] Shut down, shut it down, the fear in my chest, Shut down, shut it down, no time to rest, Shut down, shut it down, I’m doing my best. I’m doing my beeeeest. [Sitar Solo] [Outro - Sitar and Ambient Synth Fade] Trapped in my childhood, fighting to fit in. I need someone's grasp, to anchor my spin. Trapped in my circuits, fighting the nerves. Shut it out, shut it down, it's no longer serving. [Sitar Solo] [Bridge - emotional vocals] Shut down, shut it down, the fear in my chest, Shut down, shut it down, no time to rest, Shut down, shut it down, I’m doing my best. I’m doing my best. [Chorus - Energetic Guitar Plucking and Soaring Choruses] I’m wired this way, frozen in time, Tragically still, in this body of mine. I’m wired this way, frozen in time, Tragically still, in this body of mine. [Outro - Sitar and Ambient Synth Fade] Trapped in my childhood, fighting to fit in. I need someone's grasp, to anchor my spin. Trapped in my circuits, fighting the nerves. Shut it out, shut it down, it's no longer serving. [End Song]
