Hourglass and Ash

Intro

(Underwater muffled sound, slow tribal drums, throbbing bass)

Verse 1 - Whispered, barely audible

The frequency is wrong.

It always was.

We tried to tune into the sun,

But only caught the shadow of satellites.

Pre-Chorus - Clean Guitar, Delay effects, Building tension

Look at your hands.

They shake, not from the cold,

But from the memory of holding what is gone.

The glass in the window...

Reflects a stranger wearing my face.

Transition - Sudden Silence

Chorus - Explosive, Heavy Distortion, Anguished Scream

TIME DOES NOT HEAL!

It only piles dust in the corners of the room!

You said silence was gold,

But this silence is lead!

Heavy!

Toxic!

Sinking into the floorboards of my chest!

Bridge - Math Rock Polyrhythm, Chaotic

I saw the future in a fever dream:

Iron cities, paper hearts.

We run in circles,

Drawing spirals on the ground until the hole opens up.

Falling...

No parachute.

No gravity.

Outro - Instruments glitching, Static Noise, Feedback

Spoken Word - Dry, Emotionless

There is no finish line.

Just the point where the signal cuts.

Push the button.

Reset.

Forget.

Ending

Everything we were...

Is just white noise in an empty room.

(Abrupt cut)
