V6

[Intro — Instrumental Only] [Immediate interlocking drum and bass motif] [Clean guitar repeats a shifting geometric phrase] [No vocals] [Verse 1 — Intimate Female Vocal] The windows learn the shape of grey The stairs remember yesterday A thousand lines beneath the floor Lead nowhere I have been before I trace the water on the wall And hear the smallest structures fall No thunder tells me what has changed The room rearranges in the rain [Instrumental Passage] [Brief 7/8 transition] [Bass takes the melodic lead] [Guitar motif fragments and recombines] [Verse 2 — Restrained, Growing Tension] The ceiling bends without a sound The hidden wires cross underground I watch the corners trade their names The empty space remains the same No door is broken, none is locked No clock remembers when it stopped I stand exactly where I stood Inside a house that never could [Instrumental Break — No Vocals] [Drums and bass interlock more aggressively] [Sudden complete silence] [One piano note] [Opening motif returns in altered form] [Bridge — Close-Mic Female Vocal] If I leave Will it remain? If I stay Will it change again? [Instrumental Climax] [Full-band rhythmic counterpoint] [Opening motif transformed and slowed] [No vocal ad-libs] [Outro — Whispered Female Vocal] The rain has stopped The walls are still I hear the house Rebuilding itself [Instrumental Ending] [Bass harmonics] [Two isolated piano notes] [One clean guitar harmonic] [Silence]
