[Intro - 16 bars, no drums, just two clean guitars with tons of reverb + a low synth drone, like light coming up through a crack] [Verse 1 - whisper, close, you can hear the room] We watched the sky turn paper white No birds, no planes, just open light The streets are empty, washed in grey Your hand in mine, we slipped away [Pre-Chorus - bass enters, single note, guitars start to bloom] And all the buildings bowed their heads And all the signals turned to red And every prayer we never learned Was answered in the way it burned [Chorus - open, not heavy, all clean, big reverb, you sing it like you're already under] Under we go Where the pale light can't turn cold Under we go Where the world forgets to hold If there's nothing left above Let it be us, my love Under we go [Verse 2 - drums come in, just kick and soft snare, like a heartbeat underground] We left the bulb still burning low Back in that room we'll never know Its shattered glow on concrete dust Is everything we left of us [Pre-Chorus 2 - add harmony] And all the echoes lost their shape And all the futures bent and break But in the crack beneath our feet I saw a light that's soft and deep [Chorus 2 - bigger, add octave lead, still no distortion, just huge clean wash] Under we go Where the sirens turn to low Under we go Where the afterimage glows If there's nothing left to love Let it be us, my love Under we go [Bridge / The Sink - drop everything except drone and EBow, then slow build] Let it take us Soft and slow Where the river runs below Let it take us Under Under we go [Final Chorus / Outro - full band finally hits but still beautiful, not crushing, like being swallowed by light] Under we go And the world goes quiet above Under we go With the last light that we love If there's heaven after all Let it be under us Let it be us Under we go
