[Intro: 0:00-0:30 - A dirty, out-of-tune Am-G guitar rhythm. Every pause is answered by a lightning-fast, mathematically perfect piano arpeggio. You hear the saxophone player breathing.] [Verse 1: Low, gritty vocals] The odds of your breath were a thin, silver line A spark in the void, a design so divine Two years in the wind, and survival’s no law But you woke to a love without blemish or flaw You found the right hearts to fill up your soul While half of the world is still payin' the toll Born into peace, not the fire and lead A gift of the living, a debt to the dead. [Chorus: THE ANTI-HEROIN DROP - Heavy Cinematic Brass hits on the Bb chord] You were first out of millions, don't you forget Through the eye of the needle, you’re the safest bet This Earth is a home, and the people are kind The war you are fightin' is all in your mind For Love is the weight that keeps stars in their place Greater than gold, and the power we chase. [Verse 2: Piano becomes more complex, guitar stays rotten] Let go of the lies they’ve been tryin' to sell True friendship is spirit, a deep-seated well A child of the nineties, a crown made of light Before all the screens turned the day into night If you’re feelin' small, like a ghost in the room Remember the mosquito and the power of gloom You’ve done it before, so just do it again The Universe learns through your joy and your pain. [Bridge: MATH-SAX SOLO - A complex, jazz-inspired saxophone solo that follows a prime-number rhythm, deconstructing the Grunge-clichés with pure skill.] [Outro: Guitar dies out, leaving only the piano and the sax] The Cosmos, it cares for the name that you bear In a world where the heart is so stripped and so bare All I really want... is to feel that grace. Just being here.
