[Intro | Atmospheric | Soft Tape Noise | Isolated Piano] Ash on the windowsill, rain in the hall One red thread caught in the coat by the wall [Verse 1 | Warm Male Vocals | Minimal Plucks | Sub-Bass] You said, "Keep it quiet," so I lowered my voice Dust on the turntable, a needle makes a choice Your ring left a circle in the coffee-stained wood I read every pause like I knew that I could The elevator shudders, then forgets our floor You count loose change beside the pharmacy door I carry your secret in the seam of my sleeve Close enough to touch, too proud to believe [Pre-Chorus | Building Tension | Rising Synths | Driving Drums] If you call, I’ll answer once If you leave, I won’t chase There’s a bruise beneath the gold And a question on your face [Chorus | Exploding Energy | Driving Synthpop Beats | Stacking Harmonies] Come back with your hands clean Come back before the morning train I know what the silence means (uuh) I know you’ll say my name We can make a small fire From the letters that you saved Come back with your hands clean Or leave me what remains [Verse 2 | Saturated Bass | Crunchy Beats | Intimate Vocals] Blue glass in the gutter, cab doors hiss and close You wore my old black jacket, rain darkened the shoulders A violin upstairs bends one note too long You smiled like a witness who already knew the wrong No grand confession, no blood on the page Just two empty chairs and a debt for the age I put your photograph beneath the loose floorboard Then stood at the sink till the water went cold [Bridge | Stripped Back | Cinematics | Filtered Synth Pads] Don’t say forever, say Tuesday at ten Don’t make me a promise you’ll break and defend The room keeps its shape when the furniture’s gone Your perfume on the collar, the kettle still on (still on) [Drop | High Energy | Explosive Synth Pulse | Driving Drums] [Chorus | Maximum Energy | Full EDM Drive | Layered Vocals] Come back with your hands clean Come back before the morning train I know what the silence means (uuh) I know you’ll say my name We can make a small fire From the letters that you saved Come back with your hands clean Or leave me what remains [Outro | Fading Beats | Atmospheric Reverb | Soft Piano] Ash on the windowsill, rain in the hall (uuh) One red thread caught in the coat by the wall I turn the key slowly, I don’t make a sound Your name falls apart when it reaches the ground
