Autumn Remembers

(Tempo: 120 BPM. Instrumentation: Heavy gated reverb on the snare, a driving synth-bass line, and cold, shimmering pads.)

(Intro: A lone, distorted synth melody that sounds like a siren in the distance. A sudden, sharp drum fill kicks in.)

**Verse 1**
The copper taste of a dying year
Is the only thing that’s crystal clear
I’m tracing lines on a rusted gate
While the city clock decides my fate
You left a fingerprint on the glass
A sudden shiver, a sudden pass
I bought a ticket for a midnight train
Just to see if the tracks still hold the stain

**Chorus**
And the autumn remembers the way you lied
The gold in the garden has nowhere to hide
It’s a chemical rush, it’s a seasonal spill
The heart beats fast while the world stands still
Oh, the amber light is a cruel design
Autumn remembers... and so do mine

**Verse 2**
The pavement’s sweating a silver gray
We traded the secrets of a summer day
Now the air is a blade, the wind is a choir
And every fallen leaf is a spark for the fire
I’m walking circles in a velvet coat
Writing a letter that I’ll never post
The scent of cedar and old gasoline
The loudest silence I’ve ever seen

**Bridge**
(Music drops to just the bass synth and a rhythmic snapping of fingers)
Cold skin.
Deep breath.
The harvest is here.
(Build up with snare rolls)
Give me the fever!
Give me the frost!
Count up the profit
Of everything lost!

**Guitar Solo**
(Gritty, distorted, heavily processed 80s lead guitar)

**Outro**
(Beat stays heavy, synth melody becomes hypnotic)
It remembers.
(Autumn remembers)
The copper taste.
(Autumn remembers)
The velvet coat.
(Autumn remembers)
Just a chemical rush.
(Fade out on a single, sustained synth note)
