A Treaty In My Veins
(VERSE 1)
I tore out the rot just to make you a home
Scorched all the earth where nothing would grow
The silence was a sickness, right down to the bone
So I signed for a cure from a future unknown
Drank down the promise, ignored all the doubt
Let a stranger move in to come bail me out
(PRE-CHORUS)
Now my own blood wages a war in the night
And every nerve endings screams it ain't right
They're reading the fine print by surgical light
A hostile takeover dressed up in plain sight
(CHORUS)
Don't you look at me with that innocent face
You answered the prayer, you took over the place
We both started the fire that burns in my blood
Partners in crisis in this chemical flood
So who is the patient and who is the pain?
Written in marrow, a treaty in my veins
(VERSE 2)
I pilot a body that isn't my own
With borrowed resistance and secondhand bone
I hear a new rhythm inside of my thoughts
A language of instinct that I wasn't taught
Some days are quiet, a delicate peace
'Til I feel you resisting, demanding release
(PRE-CHORUS)
Yeah, my own blood wages a war in the night
Screaming your treason by pale bathroom light
I'm keeping score on a timeline that's tight
You're the lifeline I'm learning to fight
(CHORUS)
Don't you look at me with that innocent face
You answered the prayer, you took over the place
We both started the fire that burns in my blood
Partners in crisis in this chemical flood
So who is the patient and who is the pain?
Written in marrow, a treaty in my veins
(BRIDGE)
This scar on my side, it reads like a map
To the person I was before the structure's collapse
And I can't draw the line now, I can't tell the parts
Between my own failed systems and your brand new heart
Is it holding me captive or setting me free?
Are you saving my life or erasing me?
(GUITAR SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
(CHORUS - Heavier, more desperate)
Don't you look at me with that innocent face!
You took what I gave you, you conquered this space!
WE BOTH STARTED THE FIRE THAT BURNS IN MY BLOOD!
PARTNERS IN CRISIS IN THIS CHEMICAL FLOOD!
SO WHO IS THE PATIENT AND WHO IS THE PAIN?
LIVING THIS TRUCE! THIS TREATY IN MY VEINS!
(OUTRO)
A treaty in my veins...
(Heartbeat monitor sound quickens subtly)
Who is the patient...
And who is the pain?
(Sound of a flatline, then a single, strong rebooting beat)
About The Song
"A Treaty In My Veins" uses the recent breakthrough in xenotransplantation—successfully transplanting a pig's kidney into a human—as a powerful metaphor for internal conflict and forced co-dependence. The song isn't about the medical procedure itself, but about the deeply human experience of accepting something foreign into your life out of sheer necessity, and the ensuing internal war. This could be a coping mechanism after trauma, a belief system you adopt to survive, or a personality trait you hate but rely on. Drawing lyrical inspiration from the "shared responsibility" theme in Post Malone & Morgan Wallen's "I Had Some Help," the song frames this internal state not as a passive condition, but as an active, volatile truce between the 'self' and the 'other' it now harbors. It explores the terrifying ambiguity of not knowing where you end and the thing saving you begins, a fragile alliance forged in desperation.
Production Notes
Genre: Arena Synth-Rock / Modern Country
Vocal Style: The performance demands a blend of gritty, emotional country delivery (think Chris Stapleton) and the anthemic vulnerability of a rock frontman. The lead vocal should be tight and centered, captured with a Neumann U47 or similar warm tube mic. For the chorus, double-track the lead and add wide-panned harmony layers with slight imperfections to create a 'gang vocal' feel. Use aggressive compression (like an 1176) to bring the vocal forward and give it a confrontational energy.
Instrumentation: The track should be built on a bed of a dark, pulsing 80s synth bass (like a Moog Model D) and a live, driving drum kit with a loud, snappy snare. Verses are minimal: just the bass, a sparse kick/hat pattern, and a clean, delayed Telecaster guitar line. The Pre-Chorus builds tension with rising synth pads (Juno-60 style) and muted power chords. The Chorus explodes with heavily distorted Les Paul guitars playing big, open power chords, layered with the main synth hook. The guitar solo should be melodic and soaring, but with a touch of glitchy, unpredictable digital delay.
Mix: Automate the reverb and delay throws, keeping the verses relatively dry and intimate, then drenching the chorus in stadium-sized reverb to create a massive sense of space. Sidechain the synth pads to the kick drum for a modern rhythmic pump. The final master should be loud and impactful but retain dynamic range between the sparse verses and explosive choruses.
