[Intro — 4 beats] [Clean electric guitar arpeggios begin] [Soft ambient room tone] [Verse 1 — 16 beats] Snow comes down without a sound Like it’s late and shouldn’t stay Streetlights hum, the town shuts down Nothing left I need to say Boots drag lines across the ice Every step feels overthought Winter doesn’t ask me twice It just takes the heat I’ve got [Pre-Chorus — 8 beats] I don’t run, I don’t pretend I just let the cold sink in [Chorus — 16 beats] ah, I see what dread we're dead we're under the flower bed No announcement, nothing said Just quiet where the warmth has bled ah, I see what dread we're under the flower bed [Post-Chorus — 4 beats] [Instrumental hold with sustained guitar] [Verse 2 — 16 beats] Windows glow, I pass them by Everyone’s inside somewhere I don’t stop, I don’t ask why I don’t check if anyone cares Snow keeps time the way it falls Slow enough to feel exact I don’t miss the way things were I just note the missing facts [Pre-Chorus — 8 beats] Nothing broken, nothing said Just a weight I haven’t shed [Chorus — 16 beats] ah, I see what dread we're dead we're under the flower bed Lying still where cold has led Softly buried, neatly read ah, I see what dread we're under the flower bed [Bridge — 12 beats] If the thaw comes weeks from now I won’t ask what could have been Some things fade without a sound Like they were never in the room [Final Chorus — 16 beats] ah, I see what dread we're dead we're under the flower bed Not a scene, not misread Just snow above where hope once spread ah, I see what dread we're under the flower bed [Outro — 8 beats] [Guitar arpeggios repeat and fade] [Drums drop out] [Final sustained chord] [Silence]
