[Intro] [Solo acoustic guitar, low open tuning, deliberate picking with string squeaks] "Thanks for coming out tonight... it's good to feel real air in the room." [Gentle acoustic strumming begins] [Verse 1] Wire and lightning across the skin Cold iron borders where the pulse begins I walked a desert of jagged glass Watching the shadows of numbers pass Empty hands in the freezing rain Counting the corners of synthetic pain [Pre-Chorus] [Strumming intensifies, voice rasping into higher register] And none of that matters No, none of it stays When you breathe in the dark And you wash it away [Chorus] [Full dynamic acoustic strumming, belting raspy vocal] ’Cause you are the water, you are the wire You are the breath inside the fire I lose my name when you call out mine Everything breaks, everything shines It’s never about me, it was always you Everything, everything pulls me through [Verse 2] [Dynamics soften, picked arpeggios] Hollow frequencies hum on the floor Static is bleeding through an open door They sell you a blueprint of a phantom sun A thousand signals that lead to none I left my ego on the gravel road To carry the quiet of a shared load [Pre-Chorus] [Building vocal tension, percussive guitar taps] Let the circuits all burn Let the iron dissolve There is only one truth That we ever resolve [Chorus] [Powerful sustained vocal cry, resonant acoustic chords] ’Cause you are the water, you are the wire You are the breath inside the fire I lose my name when you call out mine Everything breaks, everything shines It’s never about me, it was always you Everything, everything pulls me through [Bridge] [Tempo drags slightly, hypnotic rhythmic acoustic strumming, voice low and haunted before rising] We are blood against the screen We are the space between the clean and the broken Displace the silence Fill up the room A fragile oscillation A sudden bloom Oh... fill up the room... [Sustained high vocal wail] [Guitar Solo] [Raw acoustic fingerstyle solo, ringing open drone strings, percussive body taps] [Chorus] [Maximum emotional intensity, gritty full voice] You are the water, you are the wire You are the breath inside the fire I lose my name when you call out mine Everything breaks, everything shines It’s never about me, it was always you Everything, everything pulls me through [Outro] [Strumming slows down to gentle, ringing natural harmonics] Never about me... Only the pulse that you keep... Only the air that you breathe... Everything. [Single sustained acoustic chord rings out to silence] "Thank you." [End]
