Verse 1 The pendulum swings in uneven lines We count the fractions of a second passing by Slipping through the cracks of calculated time A jagged rhythm bleeding from the sky Chorus Fifteen steps to reach the border! Walking blindly out of order! The harmony is tearing at the seams! (Falling out of time) Living in the in-between! Verse 2 Footsteps echoing an asymmetric beat Shadows stretching out across the street Gravity stutters when the downbeat shifts Caught inside the current as the logic lifts Chorus Fifteen steps to reach the border! Walking blindly out of order! The harmony is tearing at the seams! (Falling out of time) Living in the in-between! Bridge One, two, three, four, five... (One, two, three, four, five...) Wait for the collision... Find the new division... Final Chorus Fifteen steps to reach the border! Walking blindly out of order! The harmony is tearing at the seams! (Falling out of time) Living in the in-between! +++++++++++++++++++++++ [Time Signature: 15/8] [Tempo: 130 BPM] [Instrumental Intro: faint cascading piano establishing key and sliding fretless bass over custom drums] [Key: Polychord D/C#maj7] [D/C#maj7] [Verse 1: isolated upfront dry female vocal, sparse sliding fretless bass, delicate piano] [Key: Polychord D/C#maj7] [D/C#maj7] The pendulum swings in uneven [F#m/C#maj7] lines [D/C#maj7] We count the fractions of a [E/C#maj7] second passing by [D/C#maj7] Slipping through the cracks of calculated [G/C#maj7] time [D/C#maj7] A jagged rhythm bleeding from the [A/C#maj7] sky [Chorus: soaring theatrical female vocals, sweeping piano arpeggios, expressive bass slides] [Key: Polychord D/C#maj7] [D/C#maj7] Fifteen steps to reach the [F#m/C#maj7] border!
