[Intro] [full wordless choir, rain on steel] [soft mechanical scanning tone] [dusty swung drums, heavy kick, layered hi hats] [Verse 1] Checkpoint on the bridge light in a steel box eye on a stalk watching like a clock [short silence] Said hold still said look in the lens said tell me some things and we'll see where it ends [Pre-Chorus] [distortion creeping into the voice] Asked me where I'm from said a kitchen, warm Sunday and a hum right before a storm [Chorus] Answered every question (too fast) 'fore it finished asking never had to search every word was waiting like it's been rehearsed light didn't change but the gate came up so I passed, I passed (through) that's enough [Verse 2] Asked me who I lost said I never had a loss asked me what I'd do if I met me in the rain said I'd shake his hand and walk on again [short silence] Eye stayed on me longer than the rest I didn't blink guess I did my best [Bridge] [drums drop out, full choir, scanning tone alone] It didn't say no (yes) so it said yes it didn't say no so it said yes [silence] [Chorus] [drums return, one hi hat pattern gone] Answered every question (too fast) 'fore it finished asking never had to search every word was waiting like it's been rehearsed light didn't change but the gate came up so I passed, I passed (through) that's enough [Outro] [scanning tone stops, rain only] I passed [hard cut, no fade]
