[singer A] [Intro, reversed piano textures, room hiss, electrical hum, vinyl crackle, sparse guitar harmonics] [Verse 1, brushed drums, muted kick pulse, clean guitar swells, hushed detached vocal] Losing sleep on the rug Watching the ceiling stain spread Everything buffering slowly Every object drifting outward (Far away) Router light blinking through the dark I haven't touched the water glass My legs feel disconnected Like they're waiting on instructions [Pre-Chorus, octave-up bass drift, softened room ambience, buried harmony haze] The refrigerator breathing softly Streetlight leaking through the blinds [Chorus, restrained stereo bloom, reversed piano wash, low-buried harmonies] Holding my breath Staying awake For the time being I stay right here (Right here) [transition] [singer B] [Verse 2, sparse volume harmonics, muted sub tones, barely audible transients] Alarm light turns green Water in the glass Stale and warm Losing track of the day (Day and night) The remote buried in the couch seam Dust collecting near the vent Every surface pale and cold Morning flattening the room [Pre-Chorus, drifting reversed textures, faint electrical buzz] The hallway sounds underwater Nothing fully coming through [Bridge, stretched tape hiss, distant reversed piano, breath-heavy vocal] In and out Just the air The room breathing out of sync Stay awake (Slow it down) [Chorus, soft stereo expansion, brushed cymbal bleed, buried vocal doubles] Holding my breath Staying awake For the time being I stay right here (Right here) [Outro, fading room hiss, degraded harmonics, slowing vinyl crackle] Manual air Stay awake Wait Wait (Slow)
