[Intro] (Acoustic guitar plucking, light and airy) (Soft, wordless vocalizing: humming with light, fluttering vibrato) [Verse 1] The kettle’s cold, the steam has died away The dust is dancing in the light of yesterday I find your shadow in the hollow of the bed A million words we lived, a thousand left unsaid (Vocal break: soft, intricate run on the word "unsaid") [Pre-Chorus] And the clock on the wall is a liar Beating steady while the world stands still I’m reaching out for a ghost in the fire Losing my breath to the chill... [Chorus] [Soaring, high-register vocals with complex runs] Oh, I’m caught in the drift of your gravity Wandering halls where you used to be Every breath is a climb, every second a mile I’m memorizing the ghost of your smile (Vocalizing: Wide interval leaps, soaring high notes) [Verse 2] There’s a book on the table, page ninety-four A coffee ring stain on the hardwood floor Tiny monuments to the life that we led Now they’re just thorns in the garden instead. [Bridge] [Dynamic Build - Powerful and Melismatic] I am calling through the canyon of the silence (Silence... soaring melisma) I am screaming to the stars for a sign But the moon is a stone and the sky is a desert And I’m just... suspending... time. (Vocal display: Incredible dexterity, rapid vocal riffs) [Guitar Solo] (Intricate acoustic picking echoing the vocal melody) [Chorus] [Maximum emotional intensity] Oh, I’m caught in the drift of your gravity Wandering halls where you used to be Every breath is a climb, every second a mile I’m memorizing the ghost of your smile... [Outro] (Music fades to a single guitar string) The clock is a liar... (Liar... breathful, fading run) Still missing you... Still... [End]
