[Intro – whispered] Something’s coming… Nothing comes. Skin turns winter… I just go numb. [Verse 1] Cold in my bones, red lights forever, Street’s holding breath, no break in the weather, Air hums a warning I can’t quite measure, Waiting for thunder… silence instead. [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat hush, hands like feathers, Eyes on the door— it opens never. [Chorus – repeat x2] Never ever, Forever and never, Whatever, whenever, however, Endeavor sever (never) [Verse 2] Shiver like glass under a sweater, Chest in a vise that won’t get better, Footsteps far off, closer? never— Echoes of someone I’ve never met. [Pre-Chorus 2] I beg the night, “send me a letter,” Sky writes one word: never. [Chorus – repeat x2] Never ever, Forever and never, Whatever, whenever, however, Endeavor sever (never) [Bridge – airy, transcendent] I reach past the dark for a hidden lever, I pray for a spark, for a golden tether, I rise, I fall, I float like a feather— The door to your heart stays locked forever. [Final Chorus – repeat to fade] Never ever, Forever and never, Whatever, whenever, however, Endeavor sever (never) [Outro – whispered] Something’s coming… Nothing. Shiver… forever.
