[Instrumental Break] (four-note cello ostinato begins alone, uneven breath above a pulse that refuses to move) [Verse] (cold brass and clipped strings crowd the ostinato from both sides, frame drum marking blame without grandeur) [Break] (all accusation falls away; cello keeps the four notes alone) [Chorus] (full low strings join the vow ostinato, acoustic guitar recalling two notes from the stream, purpose becoming heavier than grief) [End] (one blunt cello stop, immediate silence)
