[Verse, low, intimate, breathy contralto, acoustic guitar + didgeridoo drone] I built a house of yesterdays, Black windows, locked doors. Hope came low in amber light, Barefoot on my floors. [Pre-Chorus, adding morin khuur, building] She don't beg, she don't borrow, She just moves in slow. Laughs at all my heavy gravity, Won't let go. [Chorus, full chest voice, deep bass + morin khuur hook, anthemic, catchy] I'm fallin', fallin' for hope, Low light in my throat, but fire in the smoke. Got sunrise hands 'round my heart, I know, I'm not fallin' down, I'm fallin' home. I'm fallin', fallin' for hope, And hope, she fell for me too. [Verse 2, morin khuur counter-melody] Midnight said "stay small, stay low", Hope drew gold on the floor. Said "pain's just a guest here, love, Not the landlord anymore." [Chorus, bigger, add vocal layering] I'm fallin', fallin' for hope, Low light in my throat, but fire in the smoke. Got sunrise hands 'round my heart, I know, I'm not fallin' down, I'm fallin' home. I'm fallin', fallin' for hope, And hope, she fell for me too. [Bridge, spoken word contralto, didgeridoo + bass only, ritual] Hope don't sleep. She paces. She watches. She waits. Then she kicks down every wall I made. [Final Chorus, powerful, open chest, morin khuur soaring high, emotional climax] I'm FALLIN', FALLIN' for HOPE! Low light in my throat, but fire in the smoke! Got sunrise hands 'round my heart, I know, I'm not fallin' down, I'm fallin' home. I'm fallin', fallin' for hope. [Outro, whisper, didgeridoo fade] fallin' for hope...
