Intricate Ballad of Larry Fair Hair and the Detour that Ensued #NDC_Bingo [C2]

[Verse] Larry Fair Hair in the morning mirror — boots bent sideways, maps folded into swans. He climbed quiet hills and fences curled in grins. The wind whispered with grass into his coat sleeves. [Chorus] Larry Fair Hair where — where did you… waltz through violet fog? The rivers peeled their surfaces and kept his reflection. [Instrumental Break / Choir Hums & Fragments] (Fold it) (then wander) (fake it) (then blunder) (name it) (then leave it) (detour on tracks) [Verse] At the town of papyrus he walked between sheets stacked like staircases, eyes full of pinwheels, his satchel shedding seeds. A moon split in two just to watch him slip into a street where clocks wept seconds. [Chorus] Larry Fair Hair there — there among carnival and circus, where silence were black like tar on brass rails, and he stepped through the pool. [Bridge / Instrumental + Choir] (detour / detour / derailed door / fold the road / fold the road into the river) [Verse] He bartered echoes for a handful of light that wouldn’t settle in his palm. And the path unspooled like blood red thread until the air itself forgot his name. [intense instrumental solo] [instrumental bridge] [Verse] In a hall of windows he found himself multiplied a hundred Larrys dancing backward through mazes of blankets The sky pressed its thumbs into the earth, and devoured .... yes, swallowed its own tail. [Bridge/ Climactic Build] (names undone footprints folded eyes become the road the river the road the river the hill forgets the hill forgets the hill forgets) [Epic Conclusion / Final Chorus + Coda] Larry Fair Hair where — where did you end? Through violet fog, through rivers of glass, through paper towns and salted moons, until — (until until until the hill forgets… until until the hill forgets…)
