[Intro - the interlude pad and sine tone, unaltered, no vocal, no kick] [Verse 1 - the low voice, one full bar of silence after every line] There's a morning where you wake and there's no distance left, and it don't feel like winning and it don't feel like theft. I been standing here so long I am the thing that stands. And the door is open now and it's not in my hands. [Verse 2 - the low voice, the silences shorter] I had a whole speech for the day I arrived. And none of it is true. None of it survived. I thought I'd have a number. Thought I'd have proof. I've got nothing but the standing. That's the truth. [Chorus - the low voice alone, drone wide, no percussion] 하나. (hana) One. I never said it once in all that walking. I let him keep the word. 하나. (hana) One. It isn't a distance any more — it's just a thing I'm allowed to say. [Verse 3 - the low voice, the silences shorter still] Nothing in the room has changed at all. The same floor, the same light, the same wall. I am standing in the place I stood. And somebody moved. I knew he would. [Chorus - the low voice alone] 하나. (hana) One. I never said it once in all that walking. I let him keep the word. 하나. (hana) One. It isn't a distance any more — it's just a thing I'm allowed to say. [The Crossing - two seconds, hard cut both directions, nothing inside it] [Bridge - bare, no reverb, voice and low anchor only] I said it in the winter. I said it to a door. (bare) Name how close. I'll get closer than that. I was not being clever. I was telling you the truth. [Final Chorus - wider, not louder, the silences almost gone] 하나. (hana) One. Not a distance. Just a word. I'm allowed. 하나. (hana) [The report - flat, dry, spoken, the machine voice, close] Reading. Below resolution. [Outro - the falsetto, dry and very close, one line and nothing else] I'm where you said. [The sine tone alone, held, unresolved]
