Blue Television

[Mid-tempo pop rock, muted bass thump, falsetto hook, spoken breakdown, claps on 2 and 4] [Chorus – opens song] Blue television, hum me to sleep, Dreams so bright they cut too deep. Blue television, static grin, Show me where the dark begins. [Verse – drop instruments → bass only] Curtain glow on a midnight face, Empty bowl, empty space. He stares till the credits crawl, Names of strangers mean it all. [Spoken Bridge – drumless] He mouths the lines like scripture learned, Every signal another turn. [Chorus Reprise – band returns] Blue television, stay awhile, Bleed that color, fake that smile. Blue television, hum me through, Nothing left but me and you. [False Ending – power cuts, hum sustain → click off]
