[slow building intro - ambient delay guitars, slow swelling feedback, atmospheric drones] [explosion - massive punk-doom riff, pounding drums, wall of noise. aggressive, headbanging energy before the lyrics enter] [verse 1 - fragile falsetto, airy, detached] Wasting pain like cigarettes in ashtrays Sleeping in the curve of your warm shoulder Night blooms beautiful when you let it stay The darkness gets a little bit older Life is shining through the apartment walls A flower growing where the light won’t reach Your silent whisper breaks my protocol Magic’s just another word for what we each… [chorus - shoegaze swell, tension rising] Hold onto when the rain starts falling down We talk about the birth of distant suns From cosmic dust to how we hate this town But love the way our separate stories run Together now, together now In sheets that smell like universe and vows [verse 2 - conversational, detached tone] We got into my bed like diving deep Into an ocean made of skin and time Kissing while the storm outside can’t sleep Your heartbeat keeps the perfect paradigm From quasars spinning light across the void To stupid trends that make our eyes roll back Every topic leaves me overjoyed When filtered through your beautiful abstract [chorus - layered falsetto, shoegaze haze] Hold onto when the rain starts falling down We talk about the birth of distant suns From cosmic dust to how we hate this town But love the way our separate stories run Together now, together now In sheets that smell like universe and vows [bridge - building tension, climbing to doom riff] The pain we used to waste on other people Transforms into this golden inventory Every scar becomes a burning steeple Where we worship our ordinary glory Life is shining all around your face Like constellations I can finally read In this small and temporary space We found exactly what we didn’t need But couldn’t live without [beat drop - second massive headbanging doom-punk riff, heavier and darker than the first] [final chorus - soaring falsetto, wall of distortion, cathartic release] Hold onto when the rain starts falling down We solve the mysteries of everything From quantum physics to this sleepy town From broken hearts to what the morning brings Together now, together now In sheets that smell like universe and vows Together now, together now We’re wasting pain and making sacred sounds [outro - feedback collapse, ringing guitar drones fading into silence]
