FALLEN FIFTHS

Chorus

Falling fifths, I can't stop the static somehow

Sliding down the scales, nothing left to vow

Darkness lingers when the angels fly out

Falling fifths, I'm what silence allows

Drop

Ooh — letting go, letting go, ay

Ooh — letting go, letting go, ay

Verse 2

Broken chords on the coldest stage

Ghosts in verses we never say

Cracks in the light, nothing stays

We're haunted by the notes we play

Pre-Chorus

Every turn loses a little more sound

Winding clocks 'til they all unwind

Treading shadows in a hollow crowd

Trace the fall, leave the rest behind

Chorus

Falling fifths, I can't stop the static somehow

Sliding down the scales, nothing left to vow

Darkness lingers when the angels fly out

Falling fifths, I'm what silence allows

Drop

Ooh — letting go, letting go, ay

Ooh — letting go, letting go, ay

Bridge

Hands on the wire, frozen in glass

Chasing the future we left in the past

Under the weight of a minor collapse

Echoes remain when the colors fade fast

Chorus

Falling fifths, I can't stop the static somehow

Sliding down the scales, nothing left to vow

Darkness lingers when the angels fly out

Falling fifths, I'm what silence allows

Drop

Ooh — letting go, letting go, ay

Ooh — letting go, letting go, ay

Outro

(Amen) drifts on the pulse, fading slow

Where the stillness swallows every undertow

Broken harmonies disappear below

Falling fifths, I finally let

Post-Outro

Beneath the silence, low notes call

Empty rooms where our shadows crawl

The circle spins, undone by the fall

Names we forget, but memory recalls

Half-remembered voices slip through cracks

Faith dissolves into faded tracks

Nothing left for the echoes to mask

Falling fifths, all fading to black

Coda

Last note hanging, breath on the line

Empty space in the back of my mind

Cold keys fall, I can't rewind

Only echoes of what we leave behind

Low as thunder, the melody sleeps

Shadows tracing what silence keeps

No refrain, just a memory deep

Falling fifths, and a promise we couldn't keep

Outro: Reprise

All fading out, each name slips through

Drawn in the dusk, where we lost the truth

Mute confessions in a midnight blue

Falling fifths, losing

Ending Verse

Fingers slipping through dust and regret

Pages closing on words we never met

Half-lit pictures we can't resurrect

Chasing the silence we never forget

Outro Extended

Distant harmonies, blurred and thin

Night swallowing all we've been

Endless cadence, lost within

Falling fifths, where do I begin

Final Line

Letting the silence

After-End

Rooms echo soft where silence grows

tinsel memories on broken rows

glassy reflections in shadows cast

fade past the windows, dissolve to glass

Whispered Bridge

Names drift silent like scattered notes

doubt lingering, every promise floats

stillness heavy on closing eyes

no directions where the ending lies

Quiet Outro

Threadbare hymns dissolve in the air

silent chords folding out despair

suspended longing that time never mends

falling fifths—where silence pretends

Final Fade

Beneath the hush, all sound recedes

ghosts of our voices lost to the reeds

no return, just the hush of the deep

falling fifths—forever asleep

Silent Epilogue

Shadows bending in the corners of dawn

Paper-thin echoes barely holding on

Lingering questions drift where we're gone

Soft as the hush before old hope withdraws

Faint footsteps sinking into the floor

Promises faded, don't whisper them more

Curtains falling with nothing in store

Falling fifths—what was silence for?

Final Whisper

Glass in my veins and the air turning slow

Memory shivers where melodies go

Pulse disappears in the hush down below

Falling fifths—quiet, and nobody knows
