You save me to death

[Intro | Clock Ticking | Single hard sound Cello] [Verse 1 | Female Contralto | Cold Close-Mic | Sparse] Say it again. Say you love me. Say it slow. Say it in the microphone. Eleven — the ribbon. Twelve — the car. You never saw the corridor. You never saw the floor. [Pre-Chorus | Strings Rising] And I'm still here. And I'm still here. [Chorus | Full Orchestra | Raw Belt | Long Held Notes] SAVE me — save me — save me to death. SAVE me — save me — there's no door out. [Post-Chorus | Chant | Layered Vocals] Nine out of ten. Nine out of ten. Nine out of ten never leave. [Verse 2 | Cold Close-Mic | Sparse] You took the clean half. You took the day. You left them three a.m. and closed the door behind. Twelve years. One pair of hands. One signature. Gone. [Pre-Chorus | Strings Rising] And I'm still here. And I'm still here. [Chorus | Full Orchestra | Raw Belt | Long Held Notes] SAVE me — save me — save me to death. SAVE me — save me — there's no door out. [Post-Chorus | Chant | Layered Vocals] Nine out of ten. Nine out of ten. Nine out of ten never leave. [Bridge | Almost Silent | Single Cello and Breath] Fifty years to grow the tree. Ten minutes and the blade. You won't be here. You were never going to be. [Instrumental | Strings Grinding | Timpani Building] [Final Chorus | Choir Layers | Full Belt] SAVE me — save me — save me to death. SAVE me — save me — and CALL it care. [Post-Chorus | Chant | Full Layers] Nine out of ten. Nine out of ten. Nine out of ten never leave. [Outro | Whisper | Clock Ticking Alone] Nobody asked. Nobody asked. [End]
