[Intro] [Near-silence, intimate female whisper] I kept a small blue ribbon Tied around the bedroom key So when my thoughts went running I could find my way to me [Verse 1 — airy female vocal] The kettle clicks at half past four Your coat still hangs behind the door I count the cracks beside the frame And try to call myself by name [Pre-Chorus — rising harmony] You said the morning takes its time So I leave one curtain open wide If I can make it through this room I can make it through the afternoon [Build — whispered, layered] One breath One step Hold on Not yet [Drop — high-velocity metalstep] I am still here I am still here When the floor gives way beneath me I am still here [Female hook] Pull me back into the day Say my name and let it stay Through the ache, through the fear I am still here [Male distorted shots] Still here! Stand up! Still here! [Verse 2 — close, restrained] The red cup chipped along the rim The little plant is growing thin I pour it water, watch it drink And let that be enough to think [Pre-Chorus] You said the morning takes its time So I leave one curtain open wide If I can make it through this room I can make it through the afternoon [Build — chopped vocal fragments] One breath One step Hold on Not yet [Drop 2 — heavier growling bass and guitar chugs] I am still here I am still here When the floor gives way beneath me I am still here [Female hook — spacious harmonies] Pull me back into the day Say my name and let it stay Through the ache, through the fear I am still here [Bridge — Spanish guitar, intimate duet] [Female] If you find me quiet, wait Leave the hallway lamp awake [Male, low and rough] I won't ask you to be fine I'll just sit here by your side [Final Build] One breath One step Hold on Not yet [Final Drop — full impact] I am still here I am still here Let the walls shake, let them hear I am still here [Female harmonies] Pull me back into the day Say my name and let it stay Through the ache, through the fear I am still here [Outro — stripped to guitar and soft sub] The kettle clicks at half past four I open up the bedroom door One breath One step I am still here
