[Verse 1] [Restrained close male vocal] [Sparse instrumental, swung breakbeat] It’s past one in the morning The city lights have dimmed My screen flashes Breaking my silence Rain beats against the glass Blurs the neon trails My neighborhood stands frozen In a ringing quiet [Glitch percussion fill] Your name on my screen [Distorted bass hit] Hits like a sudden blow Like an old password It shatters the ground below I hold my device In my frozen hand All my thoughts drift away To the other side [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up, rising tension] Thought I’d escaped Thought time saved me Thought scars healed Warmth faded away Midnight sees through walls Remembers your trace This night pulls me under Back to your place [Hard silence cut] [False-drop stop] [Chorus] [Dense chorus lift] [Forceful aggressive male vocal] [Heavy distorted bass, tape-saturated drums] One call, I rush back (one call) One call, it all turns black (one call) I fall so deep No light comes back One call, and the years go slack One call, I’m lost again (one call) One call, I’m gone in the rain Just one call And I’m there again [Verse 2] [Sparse instrumental, close vocal] Water floods the empty streets Washes wild days clean I thought the years had slipped through Like ice in my hands But memories don’t sleep They keep their teeth in me They leave scars on my soul Like ink under skin We were both just actors In a silent little play Through the roar and the storm Your face comes back to me Through the darkness of the night You rise from the deep And all the walls I built Start breaking at the seams [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up, rising tension] Thought I’d escaped Thought time saved me Thought scars healed Warmth faded away Midnight sees through walls Remembers your trace This night pulls me under Back to your place [Hard silence cut] [Chorus] [Dense chorus lift] [Forceful aggressive male vocal] One call, I rush back (one call) One call, it all turns black (one call) I fall so deep No light comes back One call, and the years go slack One call, I’m lost again (one call) One call, I’m gone in the rain Just one call And I’m there again [Bridge] [Beat drop, heavy low-pass filter] The receiver comes alive [White noise hiss, radio static] Your breath cracks the silence And I lose my grip The walls come down My fortress in the dust I wait for your voice Just one word [Hard silence cut] [Chorus] [Maximum density explosion] [Forceful aggressive male vocal] One call, I rush back (one call) One call, it all turns black (one call) I fall so deep No light comes back One call, and the years go slack One call, I’m lost again (one call) One call, I’m gone in the rain Just one call And I’m there again [Outro] [Glitchy fading outro, dub delay stabs] Tell me I’ll return to darkness One call [Fade to silence] [End]
