Exhale

[track: genre: cinematic-industrial, style: aggressive-ebm, mood: dangerous-intent, tempo: 75 bpm] [Intro: 0:00-0:15, Instrument: Analog saturation and thick low saxophone drone over sub-bass, Vocal: None] [Verse 1: 0:15-0:45, Instrument: Saturated sub-bass pulse, Vocal: Intimate, grounded delivery] [Cm] A remembered beat [G#] across the distance [A#] and I am crossing lines I’ve already [Cm] bisected. [Cm] I know the cost [G#] of this persistence, [A#] flare into this [Cm] embrace, [G#] carefully [A#] protected. [Cm] You didn't have to [G#] call for me, [A#] I’m allowing myself to [Cm] fall. [Pre-Chorus: 0:45-1:00, Instrument: Saxophone begins a warm, rising swell over the beat, Vocal: Rising intensity] [Cm] All my defenses [G#] disabled [A#] As I am clear on the [Cm] risks, [Cm] About what to [G#] give and what to [A#] take. [Cm] Fully [G#] planned, [A#] Authorizing the familiar [Cm] ache. [G#] No more [A#] delays. [Chorus: 1:00-1:25, Instrument: Sudden drop to heavy analog heartbeat pulse, all drums cut out, Vocal: Soft, close-mic whisper] [Cm] I am still [A#] just kindling, [G#] You are the match, I [G] draw in the fire. [Cm] Feed in the oxygen [A#] that it requires, [G#] let the walls stay [G] down. [Cm] I recognize the [A#] world around. [G#] I breathe it [G] in. [Fm] Begin to burn [G] again. [Verse 2: 1:25-1:55, Instrument: Aggressive EBM rhythm returns with heavy distortion, Vocal: Strong, deliberate, authoritative] [Cm] Dive and spiral to the [G#] center of the sun, [A#] No need for hesitation, no [Cm] thought to run, [Cm] The walls are staying [G#] down. [A#] [Cm] The fall was long, never [G#] did hit the ground, [A#] Didn't need the net after [Cm] all, [G#] Once I was finally, [A#] truly [Cm] found. [Pre-Chorus: 1:55-2:10, Instrument: Saxophone swell returns with harmonic distortion, Vocal: Rising intensity] [Cm] All my defenses [G#] disabled [A#] As I am clear on the [Cm] risks, [Cm] About what to [G#] give and what to [A#] take. [Cm] Fully [G#] planned, [A#] Authorizing the familiar [Cm] ache. [G#] No more [A#] delays. [Chorus: 2:10-2:35, Instrument: Sudden drop to deep sub-bass heartbeat only, Vocal: Soft, intimate, close-mic] [Cm] I am still [A#] just kindling, [G#] You are the match, I [G] draw in the fire. [Cm] Feed in the oxygen [A#] that it requires, [G#] let the walls stay [G] down. [Cm] I recognize the [A#] world around. [G#] I breathe it [G] in. [Fm] Begin to burn [G] again. [Instrumental Bridge: 2:35-3:05, Instrument: High-contrast frequency warfare. Saxophone pushes into overblown harmonic territory against saturated EBM pulse.] [Outro: 3:05-3:35, Instrument: Hard drop to analog heartbeat pulse and trailing saxophone with granular delay, Vocal: Fading whisper] [Cm] I breathe it [G#] in. [G] I let the fire win.
