[Instrumental, Guitar, Electric Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro – Sparse / Uneasy]
[Low Electric Piano Notes, Sub Bass Pulse, Distant Metallic Hits]
[Whispered Vocal]
Choo… choo….
(There goes the gravy train)
Would ya look at what remains…
(Leftovers…)
After everything’s claimed…
(Leftovers…)
Discover
(The gravy stains)
[Verse 1]
Scraps on the table
(After the feast)
Numbers unstable
(At least… at least…)
Plenty above
(Nothing below)
Where does it go?
(We already know)
[Verse 2]
Overflow towers
(Empty hands)
Counted in powers
(Shifted demands)
Digits keep climbing
(Lives stay the same)
Winners keep winning
(That’s the game)
[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t divide it
(Without the loss)
What’s left behind
(Pays the cost)
[Chorus]
Leftovers…
(That’s what we got)
After the counting
(That’s a lot?)
Scrape the remains
(From the pot)
After the billions
(Leftovers… that’s a lot…)
[Instrumental Break]
[Distorted Guitar Swells, Glitch Percussion, Organ Dissonance]
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion Drops Out, Sub Bass Deepens]
[Spoken Vocal – cold, deliberate]
Could be much, much worse…
(Still getting worse…)
Count what is left…
(After the first…)
[Build: Glitching Synth Arpeggio Rising, Noise Layering]
[Chorus – Expanded]
Leftovers…
(That’s what we got)
After the counting
(That’s a lot?)
Take from the whole
(Add to the top)
What trickles down
(Leftovers don’t stop…)
[Collapse Section]
[Half-Time Drums, Bass Distortion, Organ Drones]
Too big to measure
(Too small to share)
All of the numbers
(Vanish in air)
[Final Chorus – Dark Reprise]
Leftovers…
(After the plot)
All that remains
(That’s a lot…)
Count it again
(Take another shot)
After the billions…
(Leftovers… that’s all we got…)
[Outro – Dissolution]
[Low Piano, Sub Bass Fading, Static Crackle]
Would ya look at what remains…
(Leftovers…)
… and gravy stains
[Flat tone fades to silence]
