[Intro: body percussion, sub bass rumble, filtered static crackle] he didn’t run and i didn’t either we just stood there like the moment made rules we didn’t want to break the light hit hard through the trees but he stayed like stillness was a game he’d already won [Verse 1: glitch soul groove, vocal stack in low midrange, analog decay] i shifted my weight he shifted his just once like a signal through dirt then he stomped low and heavy not loud just enough to shake something loose in me [Chorus: syncopated stomp loop, vocal double layered] he didn’t run so i stayed feet flat like roots pretending to grow he didn’t run so i breathed just once like a test i didn’t know i passed [Verse 2: rhythm thickens, breath textures rise] a bird cut across the space between us he snorted and scraped the ground like punctuation not anger i wanted to say something but words felt like the wrong tool so i nodded small like offering nothing on purpose [Chorus: repeat with slight vocal distortion and ambient decay] he didn’t run so i stayed feet flat like roots pretending to grow he didn’t run so i breathed just once like a test i didn’t know i passed [Outro: percussion softens, sub bass fades to static] he turned first walked slow like leaving didn’t mean gone just different
