[Intro] (Very slow piano chords ring out and sustain. A soft, brush-stroke drum beat enters slowly. The atmosphere is quiet and vast.) [Verse 1] A single match against the stone A little flare, and then it was gone But something caught in the dry grass nearby A tiny curl of gray smoke rising to the sky. It was so quiet, you barely heard the sound Of something shifting underground A hairline fracture in the cooling glass Waiting for the time to pass. [Chorus] (The music swells slightly, adding a deep cello or low synth pad) Oh, the motion is slow, but it’s steady and deep Waking up secrets that we tried to keep The gravity’s pulling, it's heavy and profound And there’s no way to stop what has been started now The wheel is turning around. [Verse 2] We stand on the shoreline and watch the tide come in Wondering where the ending begins The ink has been spilled and it’s staining the page We’re moving from silence into a different stage. The current is taking a hold of our feet Pulling us out where the deep waters meet We used to be captains, now we’re just passengers here Watching the coastline disappear. [Chorus] Oh, the motion is slow, but it’s steady and deep Waking up secrets that we tried to keep The gravity’s pulling, it's heavy and profound And there’s no way to stop what has been started now The wheel is turning around. [Bridge] (The music gets quieter, more intimate, focusing on the vocals) The train has already left the station There’s a terrifying sense of elation Is it a disaster or is it salvation? We just have to wait and see What this is going to be. [Guitar Solo] (A slow, mournful, sustained guitar solo that sounds like a distant siren, echoing the theme of inevitability) [Chorus] (A bit louder, with more emotion, but still slow) Yeah, the motion is slow, but it’s steady and deep Waking up promises we couldn't keep The gravity’s pulling, it's heavy and profound And there’s no way to stop what has been started now No, it's too late to turn it around. [Outro] (Returning to the sparse piano from the intro) The first domino fell. It fell a long time ago. Now we just watch it go. Watch it go. What has been started... (Fade out slowly on a resolving chord)
