🎼 LYRICS — FINAL BONUS ROUND
[Intro – Energy 26 | studio hum, applause fx, ticking under]
(Host voice, over-cheerful, slightly glitchy)
“WELCOME BACK, CONTESTANT!
YOU’VE SURVIVED… ALMOST EVERYTHING.
THIS IS YOUR—
FINAL… BONUS… ROUND.”

(canned applause, then cuts hard)

[Verse 1 – Energy 44 | half-rap female, tense]
Stage lights burn through the powder and sweat,
Audience smiles like a loading threat.
Your name spelled out in blood-red lights,
Theme song playing for your last night.

Prize wheel painted in teeth and chrome,
Every slice carved from someone’s home.
You say, “I’m done, I won this game”—
prove it to the ratings, not your shame.

[Pre-Chorus – Energy 62 | rising drones, snare build]
Count your fears like commercial breaks,
Every tear buys higher stakes.
Time’s a sponsor in your veins—
(choose the pain that sells your change).

[Chorus – Energy 88 | big chant, slight glitch]
Final bonus r-r-round—
spin the wheel while the crowd shouts loud.
Final bonus r-r-round—
every choice is cheered or drowned.
Final bonus r-r-round—
cameras love the ones who drown.
If you want to leave this stage—
show the hurt that buys you out.

(glitch echo: “b-bonus r-round…”)

[Post-Chorus Tag – Energy 72 | saw-synth + crowd fx]
(Host, processed)
“NO SKIP.
NO CUT.
WE’RE LIVE.”

[Verse 2 – Energy 56 | more aggressive, rhythmic]
Cue card girl with a plastic grin,
Flips your fate with a practiced spin.
Audience voting with glowing phones,
Thumbs up, thumbs down on your bones.

Confetti falls like shredded files,
Hosts trade jokes over your trial.
You say, “I’ve changed, I’m something new”—
prove it to the script, not you.

[Pre-Chorus 2 – Energy 78 | thicker drums, glitch fills]
Weigh your soul on a rating scale,
Every scream can boost or fail.
Time won’t stop for your regret—
(choose the scar they won’t forget).

[Drop / Break – Energy 100 | EDM chaos, chant chops]
[EDM DROP: razor bass, alarm sirens, chopped crowd]
(Host, hard-glitched)
“L-L-LIVE FROM YOUR REGRET—
THIS…
IS YOUR BONUS BET.”

[Bridge – Energy 94 | half-time, call & response with crowd]
Left hand mercy, right hand fame,
Which one keeps them saying your name?
Spotlight burning through your skin,
How much pain to say “you win”?

Host: “Are you ready?”
Crowd: “SPIN THAT WHEEL!”
Host: “What’s the cost?”
Crowd: “WHAT WE FEEL!”
Host: “What remains?”
Crowd: “WHAT I CHOOSE IS REAL.”

(glitch tails on ready / cost / remains)

[Final Chorus – Energy 96 | bigger, octave-up chants + glitches]
Final bonus r-r-round—
spin the wheel while the crowd shouts loud.
Final bonus r-r-round—
every choice is cheered or drowned.
Final bonus r-r-round—
cameras love the ones who drown.
If you want to leave this stage—
show the hurt that buys you out.

(tag, layered)
B-b-bonus r-round—
fi-fi-final round—
fi-final b-bonus r-round…

[Outro – Energy 6 | tape slow, theme jingle dying]
(Host, fading, hollow)
“THANKS FOR PLAYING…
OR DYING.
WE’LL BE… RIGHT… BACK.”

(jingle warps, cuts to single heart monitor beep, then silence)
