03. Weightless

[Intro: floating pads, single clean guitar notes, no drums] [Verse: weightless, close low intimate vocal] The straps undone, I'm floating free Above my seat, a drifting bird. A drop of water forms a sphere And hangs in silence, undisturbed. There is no up, there is no ground, Just distant stars without a sound. [Pre-Chorus: soft swell, bass enters] I let the weight of daylight go, It drifts away so soft and slow. [Chorus: brushed drums, warm guitar chords] Weightless, weightless, Lighter than the light of stars. Weightless, weightless, Silence holds me in its arms. [Verse: floating, brushes softly] I play the video once more: The window, laughter, hand on glass. Three seconds, and it loops again, Each time the distance grows more vast. My pencil drifting, turning slow, Like me, it drifts from all I know. [Chorus] Weightless, weightless, Lighter than the light of stars. Weightless, weightless, Silence holds me in its arms. [Bridge: very quiet, vocal and pads only, faint radio crackle] No sound except my beating heart, The screen shows home, the open door. You wave to me, and now I know I'm farther than I've been before. [Guitar Solo: gentle slide guitar, long echo] [Final Chorus: soft, no bigger than before] Weightless, weightless, Lighter than the light of stars. Weightless, weightless, Only memory holds my heart. [Outro: fading, no drums] Weightless, weightless, Only home is solid ground. [End: single guitar note echoing into silence] [End]
