【 Intro — Mist on the Fretboard 】 Clouds hum in 7ths, Strings whisper in gold, Every chord remembers A stairway we never climbed. 【 Verse 1 — The Resonator’s Prayer 】 Steel sighs against nylon, Echoes fold into velvet air, A Les Paul dreams of oceans, While a Telecaster counts stars. 【 Break 1 — Phase Drift 】 (instrumental pause — brushed drums, tape flutter, ghost‑note bass) Time bends sideways, Notes fall upward, Gravity forgets its name. 【 Verse 2 — Hollowbody Mirage 】 Jazzbox halo, smoky and slow, 12‑string shimmer in the fog, Baritone murmurs low secrets, Resonator laughs in chrome tongues. 【 Interlude — The Stairway Spins 】 (spoken‑word echo, filtered through vinyl crackle) We are the hum before dawn, The feedback between dreams, The silence that glows. 【 Verse 3 — Heaven in Reverb 】 Each fret a memory, Each bend a confession, We play until the clouds applaud, And the light forgets to fade. 【 Break 2 — Tape Flutter 】 (solo section — Strat and SG trade phrases, drifting in delay) Sound becomes liquid, Liquid becomes light, Light becomes us. 【 Outro — The Gateway Opens 】 Guitars ascend in spirals, Notes dissolve into color, Heaven hums in 9ths, And we vanish mid‑chord.
