*[INTRO — Single ethereal guitar tone, silken and sustained, reverb pooling endlessly. No drums. Bass barely audible, more felt than heard. 8 bars of pure atmosphere. Vocals enter like something half-remembered.] *[VERSE 1 — Brushed drums, no attack. Guitar notes bleeding into each other. Vocals hushed, close, barely directed at anyone.] Where do the freaks go When the sun comes up Do they curse the light Do they curse the ones Slurs carved into skin Weight nobody lifted I was one of them I still am *[CHORUS — Dreamgaze wide and silken. Vocals doubled, one track ghosting behind the other.] Still falling Still pushing it Still here Still Don't let me Never mind Like a knife Like a knife *[VERSE 2 — Nearly nothing. One guitar, silence underneath.] Locked window Sky gray and blue Thunderclouds The way they do Saddest song in the world To nobody Still here Still *[CHORUS] Still falling Still pushing it Still here Still Don't let me Never mind Like a knife Like a knife *[BRIDGE — One sustained guitar note. Voice only. Slow. Let the gaps breathe.] Nobody comes for us We learn to go quiet Still here Still humming Still *[CHORUS — Dreamgaze wide and silken. Vocals doubled, one track ghosting behind the other.] Still falling Still pushing it Still here Still Don't let me Never mind like a knife like a knife *[CHORUS — Dreamgaze wide and silken. Vocals doubled, one track ghosting behind the other.] Still falling Still pushing it Still here Still Don't let me Never mind like a knife! like a knife! *[OUTRO — Guitar from the intro returns. Everything else dissolves. Vocals one last time, barely a whisper.] Where do they go When it's over (silence)
