Confetti Over the Crater 4:43

RIFF-DRIVEN INSTRUMENTAL INTRODUCTION

VERSE 1

We built a throne out of broken mirrors
Crowned ourselves with blinking lights
Every joke lands six feet deeper
Nothing bleeds if it's pixel-white

We ironize the fire alarm
Toast marshmallows in the smoke
You say it's art, I say it's arson
Either way, it trends as hope

PRE-CHORUS

You don't believe in anything
Except the sound your name makes
When it echoes off a burning thing

CHORUS

Nothing matters, baby, that's the brand
Spray-paint halos on sinking sand
We're all performers with no demands
Just confetti over the crater

Smile wider, sharpen the knife
Sell the ashes as "new life"
We traded meaning for a mic
And called it behavior

Nothing matters — say it sweeter
Nothing matters — make it louder
If the world's a stage, then break the heater
Dance in the vapor

VERSE 2

We turned the sirens into ringtones
Set the panic to vibrate
Every tragedy's a ringtone
Every headline's first-date bait

I'm not cynical, I'm efficient
I recycle outrage twice
You say "truth," I say "edition"
Everything comes pre-sliced

KNIFE LINES

We put the "cult" in culture and called it networking
I learned empathy from a loading screen
My moral compass runs on lithium

PRE-CHORUS 2

You don't need a point of view
Just a better camera angle
And a villain you can cosplay through

CHORUS

Nothing matters, baby, that's the brand
Spray-paint halos on sinking sand
We're all performers with no demands
Just confetti over the crater

Smile wider, sharpen the knife
Sell the ashes as "new life"
We traded meaning for a mic
And called it behavior

Nothing matters — pose for later
Nothing matters — blame the vapor
If you can't feel it, escalate it
Set it on paper

BRIDGE — HALF-TIME, MORE CUTTING

Clap louder for the void
It's doing its best
We fed it attention
It handled the rest

You wanted a revolution?
Here's a filter instead
We don't burn the system down
We monetize the dread

FINAL CHORUS — BIGGER, MORE SARCASTIC

Nothing matters, that's the trick
Make it ironic, make it slick
If it hurts, just add a quip
Call it self-aware

Nothing matters, hold the pose
Paint the apocalypse in rose
If nobody knows, nobody knows
And nobody cares

OUTRO — CHANTY, BRATTY

Nothing matters
Say it faster
Nothing matters
Make it catchy
Nothing matters
Make it prettier
Nothing matters
Make it patchy
