Three Little Builders

Song [Intro] [dry drum machine, muted acoustic plucks, low sub-bass] [Verse 1] [soft female vocals, chugging guitar, brushed percussion] Hay in my hair, sunlight on my sleeves Flowers on the windowsill truss Balancing Rounded little windows, Lavender door Wildflowers growing through the kitchen floor Stack every bundle, steady and slow Warm little fire with a soft amber glow The west wind moves through the rafters at night But everything bends and everything’s right [Chorus] [full drums, distorted bass, layered vocals] Build it up Build it strong Make a home and make it last long Straw or shell Stone or steel If it holds me, then it’s real [Verse 2] [filtered synth pads, mallet percussion, deep bass pulse] Coral in my hands, ocean in my lungs Mortars got pearls and seaweed Balancing Shells in the windows Sand on the floor Little fish swimming outside the door Columns of coral rise into the blue Currents move softly through every room The tide rolls over, the whole reef sways Moonlight flickers through underwater haze [Chorus] [full drums, distorted bass, layered vocals] Build it up Build it strong Make a home and make it last long Straw or shell Stone or steel If it holds me, then it’s real [Transition] [hydraulic hiss, chain rattle, drums drop out] [Verse 3] [dry drum machine, distorted sub-bass, metallic percussion] [rhythmic female vocals] Metal in my hands, pistons in my pulse Every lever I pull, the ground trusts Balancing On a rolling drum City hum below, chains swing slow While the skyline glows I walk this narrow song line high Bolts in the beams, sparks in the rain Blueprint folded in the pocket of my brain Concrete rising One floor at a time No wolf getting through this load-bearing rhyme [Final Chorus] [industrial drums, acoustic plucks, filtered synths, stacked vocals] Build it up Build it strong Make a home and make it last long Straw or shell Stone or steel If it holds me, then it’s real Build it high Build it wide Three little houses standing side by side [Outro] [machinery powers down, low bass fades]
