(Intro - 0:00-0:45) (Acoustic guitar strumming. Raw sound, hearing the fingers slide on the strings. Ambient room noise—a chair squeaking, a breath.) (Verse 1) [Production: No effects. Just Molli and an acoustic guitar. Sounds like a demo recorded in a bedroom.] The static is gone, the silence is loud The sun is cutting through the morning cloud My ears are ringing from the night before Clothes are scattered on the hardwood floor. The coffee is cold, the mirror is cracked I’m looking for something that I still lack. (Verse 2) [Production: A soft shaker and a deep, clean bass note enter on the one of every measure.] I trace the timeline of the night’s events Arguments over unpaid rents Laughter that turned into something sharp Playing the strings of a broken harp. But the light is gold on the window pane Washing away the midnight stain. (Chorus) [Production: A cello enters, playing a low, mournful counter-melody. Soft brushed snare drum.] We survived the neon flood Washed the glitter from our blood It’s a brand new day, I guess Whatever happens next is anyone's guess. Yeah, anyone's guess. (Bridge) [Production: The acoustic guitar strumming gets more aggressive. A clean electric guitar starts picking a counter-melody.] We can leave it all behind The retrograde, the paper mind. We can start the car and drive Just to prove we’re still alive. Are we still alive? Yeah, we're still alive! (Crescendo / Big Chorus) [Production: Full electric band enters. Drums switch from brushes to sticks. Triumphant, anthemic rock sound. Group backing vocals "Ahhh-ahhh".] We survived the neon flood! Washed the glitter from our blood! It’s a brand new day, I guess Whatever happens next is anyone's guess!
