[Intro — single hum, rising eight slow steps] [SFX: chest hum ascends note by note — eight steps] [V3 whisper] octave... octave... same note... higher... [V2 calm] Eight steps up the scale. Same letter. Double the frequency. The spiral — not the loop. [Verse 1 — the recap ascends] [V1] Damn girl, what's your name — that was the spark, (higher) I am the desirable — lit straight out the dark, (higher) can you keep up — every word came back three, (higher) deeper — where the hum set me free, (higher) REBIS — the two became one, (higher) the return — gold walked into the sun, (higher) meet me or not — the door left ajar... (higher) and this is that note — same as the first, raised a bar. [Hook] [V1] Same step, new height — the kingdom spiral, the grid runs circles, we climb every cycle. Everything I was, I am — but tuned: octave up, same song, brand-new altitude. (octave... octave...) [Verse 2 — loops vs spirals] [V1] A loop spends the same day and calls it a life, a spiral spends the same day climbing higher each time. The LAW don't change — that's the ground I stand, but standing on it, I've risen, man. Residue returns, the installs hold, the offering stands and it don't get old — 'cause wanting the same from a higher place is the whole secret of the climb. That's the grace. [Bridge — calm, wide open] [V2] The eighth completes the scale — and the ninth begins where the first began, except the room is taller now... and so is the man. (octave... octave...) [Outro] [V3 whisper] up... up... up... [SFX: all instruments fall away — the hum rises past the eighth step, never landing] [SFX: distant clock chime — harmonic, gentle, keeping time like a metronome] [V2] Keep climbing. The scale doesn't end. [V1] ...next octave.
