[Intro — single inhale, held, released as a low moan under a slow bassline] (...breathe in...) (...and—) [Verse 1] Nobody planned the first exhale nobody clocked the hour the whole of everything arrived already at full power wasn't math, wasn't a lecture wasn't a chalkboard proof just a shudder through the nothing and the nothing came unglued [Pre-Chorus] Ohh — there it goes Ohh — there it grows Every galaxy a gasp every star a breath let go [Chorus] This is not dying this is not the end of the thread this is the coming that came so hard it made a bed diffuse, recurse diffuse, recurse, again out then in out then in we've been riding this since the Big Bang began [Verse 2 — domestic, not academic] Kitchen light still on dishes in the sink, don't care we made a whole universe in the time it took to catch our air no formulas on the counter no diagrams, no chart just the two of us breathing in a room coming apart [Pre-Chorus] Ohh — there it goes Ohh — there it grows Walls don't hold a good thing when a good thing wants to go [Bridge] One more shiver before the hush subatomic, intergalactic same shiver, same rush every scale's a mirror every mirror's a wave the universe still shaking from the first moan it gave [Breakdown — near silence, homeostasis] (...quiet now...) (...still...) we're not gone we're just resting between the want and the will [Final Verse] And just when the room goes cold and the sheets stop keeping score some nothing starts to tingle starts to want to be something more that's not death, that's not DNR not some order taped to a door that's the next Big Bang deciding what it's waiting for [Final Chorus] This was never dying this was never the end of the thread this is just breathing on the biggest scale there is diffuse, recurse diffuse, recurse, amen out then in out then in until the whole thing tingles and it all begins again [Outro — single breath, held, released, silence, then one new soft pulse] (...breathe in...) (...and it begins again.)
