Baby, I have been tired since the Bronze Age broke They said, do you dream at all? Only of the day the sun forgets to rise [Chorus 2 — as C1 denser, Kairo ad-lib pockets, sidechain deeper, more polyrhythmic djent accents.] I got the immortal blues In a tuxedo, at a piano, in a city I've buried three times I got the immortal blues One more decade, one more shell, one more identity to keep che vita, che vita Here we go again [Bridge — djent drops out. Kit to tight snare + ghost hats, slinky bass, piano sustains, clean prog guitar ambient arps + tapping runs, dark clipped synth strings rise.
