Scar (You Dropped This)

V4.5-ALL

[Intro – saloon at low tide] [Sound cue: slow swing piano, almost hesitant, distant wind through wood cracks] [Vocal: Sabrina, calm female voice, whisper-like] “He’s already here… he just hasn’t spoken yet.” [Sound cue: single glass shifts on a table with no one touching it] [Verse 1 – Jacques notices something wrong] [Vocal: Jacques, spoken, gravel Aussie–French accent] “No. Don’t look outside. That’s how he knows you noticed.” [Sound cue: piano skips one beat, returns slower] [Vocal: Jacques, sung low and controlled] I serve this room, I run this place But I don’t trust the empty space There’s footsteps where there shouldn’t be And no one’s ever following me [Verse 2 – Ducati sees movement] [Vocal: Ducati, spoken] “I saw him on the ridge… I think.” [Sound cue: wagon wheel creak, even though no wagon is present] [Vocal: Ducati, sung hesitant rhythm] Dust don’t settle where he goes He stands too still for anyone to know A shadow shaped like something late Always just outside the gate [Pre-Chorus – ensemble tension] [Vocal: Sabrina, soft] “He doesn’t come in…” [Vocal: Jacques, cutting in] “…because he already did.” [Chorus – fragmented myth] [Vocal: ensemble, separated voices, never unified] [Vocal: Jacques] Scar don’t speak, he don’t stay [Vocal: Ducati] He just follows things away [Vocal: Sabrina] He remembers what you lose [Vocal: Laizer, quiet, distant] And never tells you what to choose [Verse 3 – Scar appears indirectly] [Sound cue: piano becomes softer, slightly out of tune swing] [Vocal: Jacques, spoken] “I told you not to turn around.” [Vocal: Ducati, spoken] “Too late.” [Sound cue: hat placed gently on a table, no visible source] [Vocal: Scar, whisper, neutral tone] “You dropped this.” [Sound cue: room goes silent for half a beat] [Bridge – denial and distortion] [Sound cue: muted trumpet wavers + brush drums slow] [Vocal: Jacques, spoken under breath] “That’s not a ghost. That’s just… inconvenient timing.” [Vocal: Sabrina, calm] “He’s been here longer than the story remembers.” [Vocal: Laizer, distant] “Don’t correct him.” [Final Chorus – reality unsettles] [Vocal: ensemble fragmented again] [Vocal: Jacques] He’s never hunting, never gone [Vocal: Ducati] Just walking where the lost things run [Vocal: Sabrina] Every missing piece returns [Vocal: Laizer] And nothing ever truly burns [Outro – Scar remains] [Sound cue: piano slows, then repeats a broken loop] [Vocal: Scar, whisper, closer than before] “You dropped this.” [Sound cue: hat placed again on a different table] [Vocal: Jacques, barely audible] “…don’t encourage him.” [Sound cue: final glass clink + wind + piano stops mid-note]
