[Intro - 0:00-0:20]
[Vinyl crackle. Isolated Rhodes: C#m7#9, sparse. Ambient female vocal chop descending in pitch. BPM 75, breathing tempo]
...not mine...
...not mine...
(Breath, held)

============================================
PART I: THE ABSENCE
============================================

[Verse 1 - 0:20-0:55]
[Slap bass enters soft. Halftime drums. 8-string guitar chugs syncopated, low in mix. BPM 75→85]
If you are not mine...
then whose shadow peels paint from my ribs at 3 AM?
I count your fingerprints on the small of my back
where you've never touched.
I have worn other names like borrowed coats.
They never fit the fever.

[Pre-Chorus - 0:55-1:15]
[Rhodes swelling. Fretless bass slides. Microtonal guitar bend keening. BPM 85→95]
Heat behind the ribs—not yet fire. Just pressure.
You are a question I cannot close.
Every "almost" is a knife.
(Breath stolen)

[Chorus 1 - 1:15-1:50]
[Full mass metal mix. Sultry vocal + harsh layered harmonics. Polyrhythm locks. BPM 95→105]
If you are not mine—
then why does every cell in my body arrange itself toward you?
Toward the ghost of your mouth?
I don't believe in possession.
But I believe in this:
the wreck I become in your absence.

[Post-Chorus - 1:50-2:05]
[Ambient vocal chops: "not mine" reversing pitch. Vinyl crackle swell. Rhodes alone. BPM begins descending 105→95]

============================================
TRANSITION - THE COLLAPSE OF DISTANCE
============================================

[Bridge / Transformation - 2:05-2:35]
[Halftime drums hit once, then silence. Fretless bass solo - meditative, searching. Then... a single 8-string chug. Rhodes plays major chord (C# major - key shift brightening). BPM steadies at 90]
What if "mine" is the wrong language?
What if this heat behind my ribs has no deed, no title, no ring?
Only the collapse of every boundary I ever drew?
(Beat)
And then I look at you.
And the question burns away.

[Climactic key-change moment - 2:35-2:40]
[2 seconds of silence. Then: full band hit. Key settles back into C# minor but with major 3rd tension. BPM begins climb: 90→100]

============================================
PART II: THE FIRE
============================================

[Verse 2 - 2:40-3:15]
[Slap bass aggressive. Sultry vocal with urgent, smiling edge. 8-string chugs punchy. BPM 100→110]
You are so hot—
not like August. Like core of the earth.
Like the first star that forgot how to die.
The thermometer shattered three blocks away.
Firefighters won't answer the call.
You laugh and the room's wiring melts inside the walls.

[Pre-Chorus 2 - 3:15-3:35]
[Rhodes comping 7#9 chords. Microtonal bends wailing. Fretless bass runs. BPM 110→115]
Heat behind the ribs—now it's fire. Good destruction.
The kind that doesn't ask permission.
You tilt your head and
my spine becomes a question
with only one answer.

[Chorus 2 - 3:35-4:10]
[Full mass metal + neoclassical guitar harmony underneath. Sultry vocal belts. Polyrhythm at peak intensity. BPM 120 -MAX-]
You are so hot—
I don't need a match.
I need a welder's mask just to look at your mouth.
Say it again.
If you are not mine...
(Sultry growl)
...then I'm burning correctly for the first time.
You are so hot.

[Neoclassical Guitar Interlude - 4:10-4:45]
[Virtuosic solo: C# harmonic minor runs, sweep picking, tremolo bends, tapped arpeggios. Volley with Rhodes piano. Fretless bass plays countermelody underneath. Drums breathing. Drums then answering. BPM 115→120→115]
[This is "frenzied melodic interplay" + "instrumental prowess as ensemble conversation"]

============================================
OUTRO - THE RESOLUTION
============================================

[Outro - 4:45-5:20]
[Deconstruct suddenly: Rhodes alone. Vinyl crackle swells. Ambient vocal chops of both phrases: "not mine" and "so hot" interwoven, pitch-shifted. Sultry vocal enters, intimate, close-mic, no reverb]
If you are not mine...
and you are so hot...
then the only thing left to do
is stop asking.
(Warm exhale)
And step into the fire.

[Final Chorus Echo - 5:20-5:35]
[Halftime drums one last time, massive. Mass metal blend returns briefly then drops]
You are so hot—
(Breath returned)

[End - 5:35]
[Single C# note on fretless bass, held with microtonal vibrato. Vinyl crackle slows, pitches down. 2 seconds of silence. Then one final ambient vocal chop: a soft, amused "oh."]
