An Unsubmerged Love

Contemporary R&B and Neo-Soul track featuring a blend of organic and electronic elements, A clean, jazz-influenced electric guitar plays syncopated, palm-muted rhythmic chords and melodic fills, The drum arrangement consists of a crisp, dry snare on the backbeat, a tight kick drum pattern, and sixteenth-note hi-hats with occasional open accents, A deep, melodic electric bass follows the kick drum with smooth slides and syncopated phrasing, Atmospheric, filtered synthesizer pads provide harmonic depth in the background, The lead vocals are female, characterized by a wide range including breathy chest voice, agile melisma, and a clear falsetto, Vocal harmonies and layered backing tracks create a lush, choral texture during the chorus, The track is in the key of E-flat major with a tempo of 88 BPM in 4/4 time

A vessel stitched of light Unmoored at dusk we entered unannounced As if the sea had called us by a small name A borrowed warmth upon the rail The stars leaned low to hear we spoke Of all the ways as children do Who have not met the deep At midnight time misplaced its compass The ocean opened not in fury but in vastness You vanished as silver does when morning insists Only while we sailed I found the shape of who I'd be One fleeting blaze of love still burning quietly in me The ocean took the hours but left me with its flame It lasted just a breath yet nothing stayed the same While I sank the night comes back Deck under skin, salt in the black Your name no louder than breath Moving between memory and death Every line I trace becomes that rail Every pause or rising swell As long as the melody circles the dark You are not water, you are spark A vessel stitched of light Still moves inside The dark Your dark
