V6

[Intro - cosmic pad detuned and wobbling right to left, out-of-tune felt piano, distant wheezing cello] (hic... mmm...) none of them haunt me [whispered, slurred] let it float... or whatever... [Verse 1 - close-mic, slightly raspy alto, staggering heartbeat kick, spacious] same dusty shadow same old graveyard lie pretty little crypt watch me float right by [Build - cello rises sharply, ghostly wobble climbs from far away, riser like a howling wind] grab my hand feel it slip (where'd it go?) lost my grip — [DROP - HUGE club boom on the one, floor gives way, sub 808 + ectoplasmic wobble] break the chains watch me glow spill the wine let it go rattle the frame out of the screen into the sheet into everything [Post-Drop - cosmic wobble floating, panning right to left, glitchy vocal hiccups] boo... wa... hic... (floating) boo... wa... hic... (who chose this wine?) [Verse 2 - clear, hazy, stripped] tombstones bleed to blue no memory left of you knocking over glasses already gone [Slow-Dance Breakdown - half-time, detuned piano + cello, cosmic pads swaying like a ship at sea] stumble closer now no one's around just smoke and light sway me down (don't let me fall) [Build - organ swells chaotically, riser climbing] lean in close feel the cold (here it comes) never getting old — [DROP - biggest boom, floor drops out, Reese + 808 collide with phantom brass] break the chains watch me glow never slow let it go rattle the frame out of the screen into the sheet into everything [Bridge - drops to out-of-tune piano + cracked, laughing solo voice] no more perfect no more poltergeist pose I was never the phantom [voice breaks into a giggle] I'm the life of the party! [Final Drop - wall of sound, cosmic swirl, ad-libs] break it — watch me glow [vocal hiccup] let it go rattle the frame [WALL OF SOUND cuts to DEAD SILENCE] [one HUGE floor-drop boom — sub 808, glass shatter, reverb tail] [silence] [Outro - one cello note, completely unresolved and flat] ...where's my drink? [single note, fade] [Fade out]
