Cotton in My Ears

Dreamy alt-pop ballad with lazy, lopsided drums and soft detuned keys; bass drifts in and out of the pocket, Male vocals almost whispered in the verses, opening wider in the chorus with airy doubles and gentle reverb, Occasional reversed swells and hazy pads blur the edges, everything mixed like a half-remembered afternoon nap, loud, world

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] Coffee gone cold on the table Phone face down Still buzzing in the dark Mouths move slow in the window But they never really get that far [Chorus] Got cotton in my ears And clouds inside my head I’m here But I’m not here Drifting past what everyone said Let the hallway tilt and sway Let the whole loud world complain I’m a half-speed Hazy frame Daydreaming through the static in my brain [Verse 2] Traffic blur Red-white scribbles Somebody laughs way too close to my face Words hit skin Then just crumble Fall like dust in an empty space [Chorus] Got cotton in my ears And clouds inside my head I’m here But I’m not here Drifting past what everyone said Let the hallway tilt and sway Let the whole loud world complain I’m a half-speed Hazy frame Daydreaming through the static in my brain
