[Intro - Farfisa + acoustic, Aeritonic motif, 0:00–0:25] [verse 1 - hard rock, falsetto intimate] You stared at me with a stranger’s gaze Waiting for the words you craved Instead I gave you honesty That’s all I had, that’s all I gave What the crowd thinks of you Doesn’t matter in the end What you think of them, that’s true That’s where healing starts, my friend [pre-chorus - Prometheus arpeggio swell] (peel it down, bare it clean) [chorus 1 - hard rock lift, falsetto soaring] All your hustle, all your games None of it will ever match One quiet hour next to someone Whose pulse makes your heartbeat catch You need to learn this now Before the years slip by Love is all that counts somehow When you’re ready to die [verse 2 - heavier guitars, doom-metal flavor, 1:40–2:20] I see you building walls so high To keep the judgment voices out But in the silence of the room That’s not what love’s about Strip away the masks you wear For people who don’t really see The warmth of skin against your skin Is all you’ll ever really need [chorus 2 - heavy metal, harmonized falsetto, 2:20–2:50] All your hustle, all your games None of it will ever match One quiet hour next to someone Whose pulse makes your heartbeat catch [bridge - doom/psychedelic, Enigmatic chords, 2:50–3:25] Those alien eyes are searching For something real and true Behind all the performance For me and you [final chorus - thrash/doom fusion, Double Harmonic solo, 3:25–3:50] All your worry, all your schemes Fade beside a lover’s touch One warm body next to yours Is worth infinitely much [Outro - Farfisa solo + acoustic fade, 3:50–4:00] (falsetto whisper) alien eyes… watching still.
