[Intro — chiming guitar harmonics drift in at 84 bpm, reverb billowing like fog filling a street, bass and heartbeat drums surfacing beneath] [Verse 1 — velvet female voice, close and low, guitars held back to a glint of harmonics] I slept with my spine against the brick mapped the exits before I ate I priced up every open face and never paid But fog would fill the alley to the eaves and ask for nothing back — the only guest I didn't guard against [Chorus — the mix opens upward, layered guitars billow, her voice lifting into head voice] Open your fists lean past the eaves the silver holds — oh, the silver holds All my life the fall meant cobbles then only the falling broke [Verse 2 — back to close and small, one guitar chiming, lantern halos blurring below in the arrangement] Then someone stood out on the gable past every rule I kept said the silver's deeper than it looks and stepped into the pale Ten heartbeats for the sound of cobbles — it never came So I unwrapped my fingers from the ledge and let it take my weight [Chorus — fuller, drums surfacing completely, guitar washes stacking upward] Open your fists lean past the eaves the silver holds — oh, the silver holds All my life the fall meant cobbles then only the falling broke [Instrumental — post-rock guitars billow layer over layer into full lift, wordless female vocals riding above, the flight itself, no words needed] [Final chorus — her voice alone at first, the band billowing back beneath her, then everything hovering] Open your fists lean past the eaves the silver holds — oh, the silver holds All my life the fall meant cobbles then only the falling broke [Outro — instruments recede into fog, one chiming harmonic left, voice nearly spoken] I'm still falling — I'm just not falling alone
