[Vocal: Intimate male baritone, fragile whisper, long sustained notes, digitally fragmented, ghostlike self-harmonies] [Structure: Voice-Led Haunting Ballad] [Intro: Unaccompanied Breath] [Distant reversed vocal barely audible] Velvet zero On my tongue Nothing ending Nothing begun [Verse 1: Close Whisper] [One low piano note, then silence] Black honey Falling slow Through the places I don’t know The pale horizon Bends to drink I lose the edge Before I sink [Refrain: Soft Sustained Harmony] [Digitally fragmented voice] Dark bliss Hold me Where the colors end [Digitally fragmented voice] Dark bliss Fold me Out of shape again [Pause: Complete Silence] [Verse 2: Nearly Inaudible] Silver mouths Beneath the floor Say my name Without a voice The mirror opens Soft and wide There is no face On either side [Whispered Build] [Low vocal drone slowly enters] [Digitally fragmented voice] Less of me [Digitally fragmented voice] Less of me Until the absence Starts to sing [Chorus: Layered Ghostlike Vocals] [No percussion, only sustained vocal harmony] [Digitally fragmented voice] Dark bliss Under my skin Like a beautiful nowhere Letting me in [Digitally fragmented voice] Dark bliss Tender and endless The less I become The more I am weightless [Vocal Break: Wordless low hum, distant breath, one distorted cry cut abruptly to silence] [Minimalist Breakdown: Unaccompanied Whisper] The room exhales The walls grow thin Something leaves Something lets me in [Final Refrain: Barely Sung] [Digitally fragmented voice] Dark bliss Hold me Where the colors end [Digitally fragmented voice] Dark bliss Fold me Out of shape again [Outro: Fading Whisper] [No instruments] Velvet zero On my tongue [Digitally fragmented voice] Nothing ending [Digitally fragmented voice] Nothing begun
