V5.5

[NO MORE — 68 BPM — 4/4] [64-BAR BASE ≈3:46 / HARD STOP 3:58. ALL SUNG. CLEAN. NO RAP/DOUBLE-TIME. NO EXTRA REPEATS OR VAMPS.] [Lead starts decisive mid-2T. NO RUNS in Verse 1. After Verse 1, build through upper-2T/1T with slow edging, falsetto, held notes and wider late runs. BGs: 2T/1T/alto/soprano in active 4-part harmony. Keep phrases open and singable.] [Rhodes motif, acoustic guitar, muted pedal steel, cello/violin, fretless bass, live drums, snaps, stutter hats, dark SP-12/MPC low-mid-high punches. Motif survives every breakdown.] [INTRO — 2 BARS / INSTRUMENTS ONLY] [Rhodes motif → guitar answer → bass + low punch → drums settle.] [VERSE 1 — 12 BARS / DECISIVE, NO RUNS] No more mixed signals, no more knots inside my mind. No more dragging old confusion, no more getting left behind. No more doubt at my front door, no more shade across my day. No more covered-up truth, no more talking truth away. Yeah, you're fine— but fine came with weight. Every calm got complicated, every smile came back too late. I kept bending for your weather. You kept pushing past what's true. You had everything you wanted— then you ran straight through it too. [REFRAIN — 4 BARS / BGs ENTER] D. CONDUCTOR: No more. BG: “No more doubt...” D. CONDUCTOR: No more. BG: “No more shade...” D. CONDUCTOR: Every weight I put down puts a little more of me back in place. [CHORUS 1 — 8 BARS] No more— giving all my peace away. No more— letting your darkness shade my day. You had all of me once, then you broke what you knew. Now it's all about me— no more me in you. BG: “No more...” “Me in you...” [BREAKDOWN — 2 BARS] [Drums drop. Rhodes + pedal steel hold chorus melody. One breath. Groove returns.] [VERSE 2 — 12 BARS / MORE SOUL, MORE EDGE] No more company I don't trust just because you want them near. No more swallowing my instincts just to keep the surface clear. No more envy in the room, no more fake concern as care. Pretty face don't clean the spirit when the ugly fills the air. I don't hate you. That's too heavy. I just learned what I won't choose. If your presence drains my purpose, then your presence has to move. Every truth I stop avoiding puts more rhythm in my stride. Every weight I leave behind puts the light back in my eyes. [PRE-BRIDGE — 4 BARS / VOCALS ONLY] BG: “What you keeping?” D. CONDUCTOR: My peace. BG: “What you losing?” D. CONDUCTOR: What drains me. BG: “And her?” D. CONDUCTOR [first falsetto lift]: She knows. [One beat silence.] [BRIDGE — 8 BARS / POSITIVITY BUILDS] No more shrinking what I see. No more fear of being me. No more asking for permission to become what's next for me. I can wish you well from distance. I can mean it and move on. Sometimes freedom sounds like leaving what kept telling you you're wrong. [FINAL CHORUS — 8 BARS / KEY LIFT MIDWAY] No more— giving all my peace away. No more— letting your darkness shade my day. You had all of me once, but I'm keeping what is true. Now I'm finally choosing me— no more me in you. [KEY LIFT] No more— I can feel my spirit rise. No more— no more fog behind my eyes. You can keep the old confusion. I'm keeping what is true. You had me then. Now I got me. No more me in you. [OUTRO — 4 BARS / VOCAL RESOLVE] D. CONDUCTOR: No more doubt. No more shade. No more giving myself away. BG: “No more...” D. CONDUCTOR: You had me then. [Pause.] Now I got me. [BGs bloom into one warm 4-part chord. Lead holds a soft first-tenor “No more,” then clean stop.]
