[Verse 1] Name your panic (quietly) Give it a name you can say without trembling Let it hear you for once [sound: low tone swell, soft mechanical breathing] [Verse 2] Wrap it in silence Let it sit at the edge of the bed Watch it breathe (it waits for your signal) [break – one reversed inhale] [Chorus – soft, layered like ritual instructions] Then teach it how to dance step by step hold the rhythm (don’t flinch) It will follow if you lead [sound: faint syncopated pulse begins, dry] [Verse 3 – restrained falsetto over drone] Call it by name Don’t look away Raise its hands Guide its weight (it remembers how to move) [Bridge – vocoder phrases, whispered harmony] No one claps No one watches But it dances because you asked it to [sound: low bell, static crackle] [Outro – almost spoken, breathy] Name your panic (make it yours) Let it move Let it stay Let it move Let it stay [sound: stillness, tape flutter, fade to nothing]
