[INTRO – ROOM NOISE / RESPIRAÇÃO] [(som ambiente cru, sem clique, leve hum elĂ©trico) Voz principal (sussurrada, prĂłxima do mic)]: are you happy baby
 [pausa longa demais] [INTRO – quase falado, seco] are you happy baby
 [um silĂȘncio desconfortĂĄvel] are you happy? [VERSO 1 – mĂ­nimo, claustrofĂłbico] fireworks on a d**d street champagne tastes like yesterday everyone counting seconds no one counting scars [MANTRA – 1ÂȘ vez, ainda “normal”] are you happy baby, down deep in your black new year [VERSO 2 – a pergunta começa a rachar] new promises, old lies same hands, same fear you smile for the picture but your eyes didn’t get the memo [MANTRA – 2ÂȘ vez, levemente alterado] are you happy, baby? down
 deep
 in your black new year [PONTE – exposição total, sem poesia bonita] say it out loud or c***e on it say you’re fine or disappear politely [MANTRA – loop obsessivo] are you happy baby-(3x) down deep-(3x) down deep in your black new year [repetir atĂ© a voz falhar ou a mĂșsica cortar abruptamente] [RESPOSTA (falsa, quase convincente)] yeah, I think I’m fine just tired, nothing new it’s been a long year but haven’t they all been too? I sleep, I work, I smile I learned how to behave I don’t ask for much anymore I know what can’t be saved Agora o chĂŁo cede. [NEGAÇÃO] no. that’s not it. I’m not fine, I’m functional I’m not calm, I’m trained I didn’t heal I just renamed the pain [MANTRA – versĂŁo terminal] are you happy baby (after all you said?) are you happy baby (or just good at playing d**d?) down deep-(3x) down deep in your black new year [repetir atĂ© a voz quebrar/distorcer/desaparecer] [MANTRA 1 – LIMPO, FRONTAL] [Voz principal (seca, sem reverb)]: are you happy baby, down deep in your black new year [RESPOSTA – CORAL FALSO] [(entram 3–5 vozes, afinadas demais, sorriso audĂ­vel) Coral (unĂ­ssono, quase publicitĂĄrio)]: I’m fine I’m fine yeah, I’m fine [loop curto, repetitivo, confortĂĄvel demais] [VOZ PRINCIPAL – NEGAÇÃO 1] [(voz entra por cima do coral, levemente distorcida) Voz principal]: no. don’t sing that for me. [RESPOSTA – CORAL CONTINUA/IGNORA] [Coral (mais alto, insistente)]: I’m fine I’m fine everything’s fine [adicionar palmas suaves ou estalo de dedos — alegria artificial] [NEGAÇÃO 2 – ] [(instrumental cai, sobra sĂł voz + ruĂ­do) Voz principal (grave, contida)]: I’m not fine, I’m functional I don’t feel, I perform I didn’t survive the year I learned its uniform [MANTRA 2 ] [Voz principal (frases quebradas)]: are you happy— baby— down
 deep
 [CORAL – COLAPSO] [(o coral começa a desafinar, vozes fora de tempo) Coral]: I’m
 fine I’m— fine I’m— [uma voz some, outra repete atrasada] [CLÍMAX – EXPOSIÇÃO TOTAL] [(noise crescente, feedback leve, batida lenta) Voz principal (gritada, mas contida — sem catarse)]: stop saying you’re fine say something real or say nothing [MANTRA FINAL ] [voz principal + ecos distorcidos dela mesma] are you happy baby-(3x) down deep-(3x) down deep in your black new year [repetir atĂ© a voz quebrar ]
