[Instrumental Intro] [Atmospheric piano, distant guitar swells, tape hiss, sub-bass rumble emerging from silence] [Whispered vocal layers panned wide] [Slow breathing ambience] Ash-en tongue Dust-ed lungs Black bats circling One by one Cold hands Dead flame Every shadow Knows my name [Verse 1] [Clean baritone] [Syncopated phrasing] [Sparse instrumentation] [Long reverb tails] WAAAAAIT Wired teeth Static underneath White eyes watching Wide asleep Thinning skinny Rattled chain-clink Coming back Again and again [Pre-Chorus] [Additional vocal harmonies enter] [Drums build subtly] [Tension rising] Again... And again... And again... [Chorus] [Full band enters] [Wide layered vocals] [Half-time groove] DRAAAAAG Me through the dirt Face to stone Close to touch it Far to knowledge STAAAAAY Out in the rain Half in the light Something keeps pulling Out of my sight [Post-Chorus] [Instrumental swell] [Delayed vocal echoes] [Clean guitar ambience] Out... Of my sight... [Verse 2] [More rhythmic vocal phrasing] [Heavier drums] [Bass becomes prominent] BUUUUURN Smoke in my blood Rust in the well Everyone talking None to tell it Slow turn Long fall I can hear you Through it all [Bridge] [Music strips away] [Piano and distant synths only] [Layered whispers underneath lead vocal] WHYYYYYYY Hive of ghosts Calling names you knew Every road followed Goes the same WHYYYYYYY Bell with no sound Storm with no rain Everything almost touched Slips away again [Build] [Heartbeat kick drum] [Rising synth tension] [Increasing vocal distortion] [Breaths become rhythmic] Again... Again... Again... Again... [Breakdown] [Djent guitars] [Massive sub drops] [Blast beats emerge] [False chord screams] [Vocal percussion] DRAG DRAG DRAG THROUGH THE DIRT FACE TO STONE [Grindcore screams] TEETH IN THE STATIC BLOOD IN THE WIRE BLACK WINGS BEATING HIGHER AND HIGHER [Blast beats] [Double-time vocal flow] EVERY SHADOW EVERY NAME EVERY ROAD LEADS THE SAME [Final Chorus] [Maximum intensity] [Clean vocals and screams layered together] [Huge cinematic wall of sound] DRAAAAAG Me through the dirt Face to stone Close enough to touch Never close enough to know STAAAAAY Out in the rain Half in the light Something keeps pulling you Out of my sight [Grindcore counter-vocals] OUT OF MY SIGHT OUT OF MY SIGHT OUT OF MY SIGHT BUUUUURN Ash on my tongue Cold in my veins Black bats circling Once again [Outro] [Instruments gradually collapse] [Clean vocal remains alone] [Whisper layers return] Once again... Once again... Once... Again...
