[OPEN] Same room. Same light. Same distance wall to wall. ... Then the bass moves through me. And suddenly— more. [VERSE 1] Warm floor under both feet. Low pulse finding where I keep every little border I forgot I made. Nothing breaks. Nothing escapes. It just gets easier to take up what was already there. [PRE-CHORUS] Higher— there it goes. A little bright thing above the groove. Higher— let it echo. Let it find another way through. [CHORUS] The walls stayed put. I moved anyway. No extra room, no wider frame. Something opened without going away. The walls stayed put. The night stayed near. I grew into what was already here. Closer— closer— nothing disappears. The walls stayed put. And somehow— more. [POST-CHORUS] Ooh-ah— higher... higher... echo back— spring— ahhh. [VERSE 2] Shoulder to shoulder, heat in the air. No revelation waiting upstairs. No promised place. No final view. Just this body learning what it can do when it stops confusing an edge with an end. [BUILD] Bass below. Light above. One says body. One says vast. Then they touch. And neither one was wrong. [CHORUS] The walls stayed put. I moved anyway. No extra room, no wider frame. Something opened without going away. The walls stayed put. The night stayed near. I grew into what was already here. Closer— closer— nothing disappears. The walls stayed put. And somehow— more. [UPPER-REGISTER GROOVE] Higher— higher— higher— ah-ah— over me, through me, back again— higher— higher— [THE ECHOES MULTIPLY] Ooh— ah— ooh— ah— [SPRING OPEN] NOW. [HARMONIC BREAK] Everything above me falls into the bass. [DROP / REALIZATION] Same notes. Same pulse. Same room. ... Oh. [FINAL CHORUS] The walls stayed put. I moved anyway. No extra room, no wider frame. The universe didn’t need another place. The walls stayed put. So did the floor. I stopped asking what the edges were for. Closer— closer— give me no more. I have enough room to become more. [FINAL LIFT] Higher in the bass. Lower in the light. Everything fitting everything tonight. No outside needed. No distance crossed. Nothing became bigger. Nothing was lost. [OUTRO] Same room. Same light. Same walls. ... More. [HARD END]
