[Short Intro - 110 BPM motorik pulse, distant bass drone, e-bow guitar swells, analog synth haze, restrained and reflective, spoken-sung vocal] [Verse 1 - Steady motorik drums, warm overdriven bass, shimmering guitar textures, intimate low-register vocal] We became late-night drives Without destination We became silent Not saying what we meant We became experts At changing subject [Pre-Chorus - Additional guitar drone enters, tension rising, vocals slightly more urgent] You became careful I became quiet You became harder to reach I became easier to leave behind You became someone.. I became someone.. [Chorus - Wide wall of guitars, soaring sustained notes, bass driving forward, layered harmonies] We became patient We became distant We became good at pretending Nothing was wrong We became everything We said we'd never be One piece at a time We became everything Everything but us [Verse 2 - Drums remain locked, guitars more saturated, vocal closer and more vulnerable] We became walking circles Around the same old arguments We became measuring words Counting silences, keeping score We became separate islands Close enough to see the lights Too far apart To hear the voices [Pre-Chorus - Growing intensity, layered vocal doubles, sustained guitar harmonics] You became suspicious I became afraid You became someone who braced for impact I became someone who apologized You became difficult.. I became difficult.. [Chorus - Full shoegaze wash, larger harmonies, emotional lift] We became patient We became distant We became good at carrying The weight of things unsaid We became everything We swore we'd never become One compromise at a time We became everything Everything but us [Bridge - Drums drop to tom-heavy pulse, deep drones dominate, hypnotic and meditative, half-spoken vocal] Maybe love is a river Slowly changing its course A little every year Until one morning The map no longer match And there we stood Looking at each other Like travellers Holding directions To places that no longer exist [Final Chorus - Maximum intensity, huge guitar drones, layered harmonies, emotional but controlled delivery] We became patient We became distant We became all the things we said we wouldn't That we promised wouldn't happen We became stronger We became smaller We became different people For the same reason We became everything [Post-Chorus - Motorik groove continues, extended guitar feedback melodies, synth drones expanding across the stereo field] Everything but us Everything but us.. [Outro] [Instruments gradually dissolve into drones and feedback, motorik pulse continues underneath, calm acceptance, nearly whispered vocal] Maybe that's what happens Maybe that's enough (Oooh) We became...
