(0:00-0:15) Intro - 8 bars
Beat starts, subtle Afro-Cuban percussion. Ethereal synth pad swells, a lone, clean electric guitar arpeggio (CAS influence).
(Vocal hum, airy, distant)
(0:15-0:45) Verse 1 - 16 bars
(0:15) I'm thirty-nine, almost forty, a spiral in my mind.
(0:18) Concrete jungle roars, but only my own I find.
(0:22) King of the hill, they say, but the crown weighs me down.
(0:25) Inside, it's wild, like a lonely, wounded clown.
(0:29) Methyl blue in my glass, seeing the world in shades of deep.
(0:32) Dreaming of bionic lenses, secrets I can keep.
(0:36) No parents to call, just echoes in the room.
(0:39) But my Rottweiler, he's my human child, dispelling gloom.
(0:45-0:55) Pre-Chorus - 4 bars
(0:45) Something's holding me back, oh, maybe I just like it like that.
(0:48) But when the darkness falls, and I'm not making sense,
(0:51) Only he understands, my quiet, inner fence.
(0:55-1:25) Chorus/Drop 1 - 16 bars
(0:55) I got a jungle in my heart, wild and dark and deep.
(0:58) Only you know where to go, when I lose my sleep.
(1:02) Take my paw in the middle of a crisis, pull me close, show me light.
(1:05) You make me feel good, yeah, I like it, my heaven in the night.
(1:09) A restless soul, but with you, I feel whole.
(1:12) My attention's on you, even if it's not what you need to control.
(1:16) I got a jungle in my heart, wild and dark and deep.
(1:19) Only you know where to go, when I lose my sleep.
(1:25-1:55) Verse 2 - 16 bars
(1:25) Remember days as a brother, a burden I bore.
(1:28) Responsibility heavy, no one to ask for more.
(1:32) Now it's just me and my dog, against the world so grand.
(1:35) He sniffs out my soul, understands more than I planned.
(1:39) I get mean when I'm drinking, but then again so sweet.
(1:42) What does it mean if I tell you to go fuck yourself, or "you're beautiful to me"?
(1:46) It's affection always, you're gonna see it someday.
(1:49) My attention's on you, even if it's not what you need to sway.
(1:55-2:05) Pre-Chorus - 4 bars
(1:55) Something's holding me back, oh, maybe I just like it like that.
(1:58) But when the darkness falls, and I'm not making sense,
(2:01) Only he understands, my quiet, inner fence.
(2:05-2:35) Chorus/Drop 2 - 16 bars
(2:05) I got a jungle in my heart, wild and dark and deep.
(2:08) Only you know where to go, when I lose my sleep.
(2:12) Take my paw in the middle of a crisis, pull me close, show me light.
(2:15) You make me feel good, yeah, I like it, my heaven in the night.

(2:35-2:55) Bridge - 8 bars
(2:35) Lived so much, seen so much, a saga, a plot.
(2:38) But in the quiet, I know, I'm so vulnerable, so hot.
(2:42) And when my heart beats free, in a moment of grace,
(2:45) It's only your closeness, lifting me to this place.
(2:49) I think of you, I want you too, I'd fall for you.
