[Intro | clean electric guitar, light chorus effect, slow picked pattern, airy pad underneath, distant rim clicks, intimate atmosphere, faint distant echo of crying like memory not present | SFX: quiet crying, sharp breaths… 2-beat silence.] [Verse 1 | palm-muted guitar, tight dry kick + soft snare, close upfront vocal, restrained and fragile.] It wasn't the candy glass reality, Shattering, That came out of my fountain pen. It wasn't the bleach spotted respect Was nothing, Surrounding each sentence. [Pre-Chorus 1 | open chords begin, toms enter softly, tension building.] No starless smiling strangers, Bleeding to understand. No graveyard shrieking dreamers, Just us, bleeding outta my pen. [Chorus 1 | full band, bright open pop punk guitars, punchy drums, lifted vocal, controlled energy.] Every memory of you — Is bleeding through… My fountain pen, I feel——yo–ou... I remember yo–ou!… I'm there with you! Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! All those bleak days downtown, Each n' every frozen breakdown, The echoes surrounding, The soft-spoken demolishing! Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! I feel you coming through every intention, You just keep bleeding through my fountain pen! All the good—n' all the bad, Every fracture in our sugar coated collapse! [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2 | slight pullback, ambient guitar layer added, bass more melodic.] You're pulling me back, To a past– Remembering just the facts. It was—what it was, Nothing rushed, Nothing planned. [Verse 3] Just like the day, Inside of my— Foggy cotton candy memory. You needed me–I dropped life, I came at you running! Wasn't gonna let you sink—to the bottom... If so, I'd stay below—so you always know—you're not forgotten!... No, no longer alone! [Pre-Chorus 2 | gradual swell, layered vocals, rising tension.] Not the horror… Not the tears… Not the hope for a better life, Just loyalty n’ love — Enduring in the quiet… [Chorus 2 | wider, brighter, added harmonies, more drive.] Every memory of you — Is bleeding through… My fountain pen, I feel——yo–ou... I remember yo–ou!… I'm there with you… Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! All those bleak days downtown, Each n' every frozen breakdown, The echoes surrounding, The soft-spoken demolishing! Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! I feel you coming through every intention, You just keep bleeding through my fountain pen! All the good—n' all the bad, Every fracture in our sugar coated collapse! [Full circle instrumental solo | expressive lead guitar, ambient tail, emotional phrasing, steady rhythm section, no lyrics — let the guitar speak.] [Bridge | half-time feel, stripped then building.] I’m choosing what carries weight in this life… Never forget — just let drift from the light… Those long ago's that slice in like knives… It’s what I write… [Instrumental break | build up dropping into Double Chorus.] [Double Chorus | maximum width, stacked vocals, emotional release but grounded.] Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! Every memory of you — Is bleeding through… My fountain pen! (This story has no end!) I feel——yo–ou... I remember yo–ou!… I'm there with you… Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! You're bleeding through, My fountain pen! Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! All those bleak days downtown, Each n' every frozen breakdown, The echoes surrounding, The soft-spoken demolishing! Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! I feel you coming through—(every intention,) You just keep bleeding through my fountain pen! (In every sentence!) Oh—ooh——ah,ah–ooh—oh——oohh! All the good—n' all the bad, Every fracture in our sugar coated— CANDY CANED COLLAPSE! [Outro | gradual drop, clean guitar + ambient pad, vocal trailing.] Just light… That's what I'll carry tonight.
