New Gang

[New Gang]

[Verse 1]
You're just a stubborn stain,
That I could never wash away,
Now every day you get a little greyer.
You drained the colour from my skin,
The anti-love of discipline,
I'm not your game and you are not my player.

[Pre-Chorus]
Bent and broken to your frame,
Gaslight truth and hollow blame,
Poison promises and constant pressure.

[Chorus]
Oooo – Oooo – ooooooo
I'm running with a new gang
Oooo – Oooo – ooooooo
Same streets, new name

[Verse 2]
I don't have to live each day,
To try and find another way,
To hate myself to make me think I love you.
Secret tears in panda's eyes,
Mascara misery don’t lie,
Until the bird learns how to rise above you.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Keeping peace by breaking down,
Breath control when you came ‘round,
Now I fill my lungs with something better.

[Chorus]
Oooo – Oooo – ooooooo
I'm running with a new gang
Oooo – Oooo – ooooooo
I don’t answer to your name

[Verse 3]
Gone the days you had to know,
Just who I see and when I go,
And where I hang each moment in the city.
Marks I don't want to explain,
Wrapped up so tightly on the train,
Away from prying eyes that long to pity.

[Post-Verse (half-sung / spoken)]
I don’t owe you pretty pain

[Bridge (half-spoken)]
Breaking out not breaking down,
Life without a perma-frown,
Miles away from mirrors telling lies.
Freedom’s just another word,
Even if it's bruised and burned,
I take it though because the choice is mine.

[Final Chorus (lift, fuller production)]
Oooo – Oooo – ooooooo
I'm running with a new gang
Oooo – Oooo – ooooooo
Same streets, new flame
Oooo – Oooo – ooooooo
I’m running with a new gang
No chains, no shame

[Outro (echoed ad-libs)]
(I'm not yours anymore)
(New gang)
(I'm not yours anymore)

Well, I'm sure you will hate me for it but I was messing about with AI engines for music again.

Here's one take:
