The Ground Keeps Score

[Intro — percussive dusty guitar pattern, bass enters like footsteps] [Verse 1 — low mono female, few words] Count the space between Blade and the air The ground keeps score [Instrumental — long, tense but not aggressive] (dual guitars lock; subtle dub delay; room for film) [Verse 2] Breath is the only clock Mistake writes itself in sand [Breakdown — sparse earth] (bass + dry guitar; almost silence) [Wordless] Ooh… ah… (soft, almost spoken breath) [Outro — instrumental] (figure repeats, collapses clean) Ultra-sparse alt (if vocals still too dense) [Instrumental intro] [Verse] The ground keeps score [Long instrumental] [Verse] Breath is the only clock [Breakdown] [Outro instrumental]
