[Intro] [Soft reverse guitar swell, distant reverb, no drums] [Verse 1] [Close, strained, intimate, light reverb] My heart keeps time like a clock with no hands Ticking through rooms that forgot their plans It once leapt at the scent of a new day Now it just files the hours away [Pre-Chorus] [Voice tightens, slight crack, reverb opens] I’ve checked the pulse, I’ve counted every beat Nothing is broken… it’s simply incomplete [Chorus] [Expressive strained indie vocal, sustained vowels, experimental soft doubles and delay trails] Rhythmless, rhythmless Heart of mine, you’ve gone quiet on me No fireworks left, no hungry plea Just a polite and steady apathy Rhythmless… ohhh, rhythmless [Verse 2] [Slightly more strained, dry then blooming reverb] It used to race when the world still felt sharp Now it measures the dull with a patient heart I’ve offered it wonder, I’ve offered it fire It yawns and requests something higher— Like nothing at all [Pre-Chorus] [Voice pushes, expressive fracture, reverb widens] I’ve checked the pulse, I’ve counted every beat Nothing is broken… it’s simply incomplete [Chorus] [Fuller expression, strained yet elegant, layered experimental vocal textures] Rhythmless, rhythmless Heart of mine, you’ve gone quiet on me No fireworks left, no hungry plea Just a polite and steady apathy Rhythmless… ohhh, rhythmless [Bridge] [Sparse, dry vocal then long reverb bloom, experimental breathy fractures] Maybe the thrill was a temporary guest Maybe excitement just needed a rest Or maybe my heart finally learned how to rest Without needing a reason to beat its best [Final Chorus] [Most expressive and strained, held vowels, deep experimental reverb and soft vocal echoes] Rhythmless, rhythmless Heart of mine, you’ve gone quiet on me No fireworks left, no hungry plea Just a polite and steady apathy Rhythmless… ohhh, rhythmless [Outro] [Voice dissolves into long decaying reverb, experimental soft fragments] Rhythmless… (just… rhythmless)
