[Intro] (Memphis style chopped background vocals) (Beatboxing and breakbeat groove fades in) Slow down... Just... stop. [Verse 1] Constant motion, chasing the horizon line Counting down the hours, running out of time Fretless bass is jumping, syncopated beat But the engine's overheating from the constant heat Shifting time signatures under my feet Every single step has been a forward stride Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide [Chorus] Let the gears grind down to a sludge, to a halt If the world keeps spinning, it is not my fault Cathartic release in the space between the notes In the heavy grunge where the choir floats Rhodes piano chords and a brass line swell Ringing out the ending of this frantic spell Just let go. Pause. [Verse 2] IDM glitching, phonk beats in the air But I'm sitting still, looking at the stare Of a quiet room, of an empty slate No more rushing forward, no more carrying weight Let the key change wash it all away We don't have to conquer everything today [Chorus] Let the gears grind down to a sludge, to a halt If the world keeps spinning, it is not my fault Cathartic release in the space between the notes In the heavy grunge where the choir floats Rhodes piano chords and a brass line swell Ringing out the ending of this frantic spell Just let go. Pause. [Outro] (Choir and brass fading out) (Syncopated bass clicks) Just breathe. Stop the motion. (Silence)
