DEEPER (No More Words, All Feeling)

[Intro — underwater pressure, muffled heartbeat] [V3 whisper, slow] deeper... deeper... deeper... [V2 calm, low] Below the manifesto there's a man. Below the man there's a boy who went first while scared. Below the boy... the hum. [SFX: pressure drop, heartbeat slows] [Hook — submerged, slow] [V1, low] I am the desirable (desirable...) (desirable...) not because I'm fearless — because I walk in shaking (shaking...) (shaking...) can you keep up down here (down here...) (down here...) [Verse 1] [V1] This is the floor beneath the floor, where I swallowed the half-story and smiled through it all. Where the courtroom tried to follow me in the dark and I let the pressure crush it — no appeal, no mark. You want the real? This is the realest I get: I sat with the betrayal till it became a test, drained it outside the moment so the moment stayed clean — the leak don't reach this depth. Down here, I'm the spring. [The Drop — no words, all feeling] [SFX: vocals cut to silence — pure sub-bass hum, slow waves, 16 bars] [V3 whisper, barely audible] no more words... all feeling... no more words... all feeling... (let the hum carry — breathe) [Verse 2 — voice returns, raw] [V1] I ain't going backwards for no being, no living thing — said it on the surface, down here it's the law I sing. Every door I showed you still stands in the deep, you unlock 'em or you don't — either way, I sleep. My pride ain't down here — it never needed guarding; what needed guarding was the softness I stopped hiding. [Bridge — calm, almost a whisper] [V2] The deeper you go, the quieter it gets. The quieter it gets, the more you hear. And what you hear at the bottom is the only voice that was ever yours. (ever yours...) (ever yours...) [Hook — returns, warmer] [Outro] [V3 whisper] deeper... deeper... deeper... [SFX: alarm clock rings — muffled, underwater, three echoes, swallowed by the hum] [V2] ...wake up. You're already awake.
