[Intro – no drums, just piano] Basement air… (single high note slightly sharp) Low ceiling… (two dissonant notes rub together) Never say— (unfinished chord, unresolved) [Hook] Ambition say move. (off-key stab) Identity wait. (minor second clash) Treasure look close. (low bass note slide) Might be bait. (crooked chord, no resolve) Ship in the cave. (hollow mid-note) Still won’t sail. (descending wrong note) Gold in my palm. (tight clustered chord) Feels too frail. (note bends sharp, stops) [Verse 1] Water at my socks. (low dissonant hit) Dock level thoughts. (two notes, slightly out) Map in a notebook. (single key tapped twice) Corners soft. (muted thud on piano body) “X” on a memory. (high note, held too long) Dig — don’t rush. (quick wrong grace note) Chest creak slow. (low sustain) Don’t touch. (sharp off-key stab) Rent due Friday. (descending off scale) Coins feel loud. (bass pluck answers) Legacy heavy. (cluster chord) Head bowed. (silence — then one wrong key) [Hook] Ambition run. (sharp stab) Identity thin. (soft dissonant hum) Every bright thing (high note, almost pretty) Ain’t a win. (note falls flat intentionally) Ship look ready. (mid chord swell) Anchor stuck. (low note drag) Never say die. (pause) Good luck. (ugly two-note clash) [Bridge – drums drop out completely] Maybe the cave (single echo note) Was my head. (off key trill) Maybe the gold (low bass slide) Was what I bled. (cluster, unresolved) Maybe the map (one soft note) Was me instead. (final wrong note — no resolution)
