Pour down on me
[Instrumental intro - bass enters alone, guitars follow with slow palm-muted power chords, organ sustains beneath, no drums until final bars, atmosphere builds without resolution] [Verse 1 - Solo Vocal, Dry & Intimate] Stop the clock, turn away from the door I’ve been here before, I’ll be here once more You’re a dangerous force I can’t put down You could pull me apart without making a sound I watch the moon cross the length of the sky And I’m counting the minutes and I don’t know why Does midnight feel the same where you are tonight? Are you turning the covers and losing the fight? [Pre-Chorus - Octave Double Enters on Final Line] I curse every season for moving too slow We should have found each other a long time ago The pull is too heavy, the wanting too deep We’re bleeding. [Chorus - Full Stack, Harmony Third & Contrary Motion] You’re the hunger I can’t name You’re the thirst I can’t explain You’re the monsoon in the desert, the salt in the sea And you’re holding the downpour away from me I’ve been burning for you every day Drown me in it Or walk away [Verse 2 - Solo Vocal Returns, Ghost Chorus Enters Late] It’s a delicate power you carry so light Like a tension that grows through the deepest of night I’m undone by the mystery and wrecked by the fear That you’ll scatter like smoke when the daylight gets near I’m lost in the space at the edge of the day Where the dark makes its promises then falls away [Chorus - Widened Stack, Triple Harmony Peak & Contrary Motion] You’re the hunger I can’t name You’re the thirst I can’t explain You’re the monsoon in the desert, the salt in the sea And you’re holding the downpour away from me I’ve been burning for you every day Drown me in it Or walk away [Instrumental interlude - lead guitar carries a sparse mournful phrase over the verse progression, minimal drums, tension held but not released, ghost chorus sustains a single contrary motion tone beneath, transitions into bridge] [Bridge - Spoken Low Vocal Against Rising Falsetto Countermelody] Is it magic? Is it just a lie? I’m watching the hours go drifting by Give it to me Don’t hide it from me I’m weak, baby, I’m weak [Outro - Whispered Octave-Doubled Lead, Ghost Chorus Harmony Ascending as Lead Dissolves] Pour down on me… (Every last bit) Pour down on me… Let me drown in it… [Instrumental outro - layers drop away one by one, drums first, then guitars, bass and string pad sustain last, ends in pure silence] [End]
