[Intro: instrumental, dirty open chords, amplifier squelch, no vocals] [Verse 1: restrained talk-sung, male vocal, tense] Haul me out of this hanging light Sunrise lands with static in my chest By the next hour you start to fight Nightfall folds me, worse than all the rest [Pre-Chorus: build, strained] Could we salvage what we buried here? (Keep it distant, yeah I keep it distant) Could we read the wreckage standing near? (Keep it distant, yeah I keep it distant) [Chorus: cracked shouted, explosive] But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) Cut me loose [Break: short pause, ringing feedback] [Instrumental Break: blown-out guitars, overdriven bass, no vocals] [Verse 2: restrained talk-sung, male vocal, disoriented] Noon finds me crawling back for air Twilight dreams of what you never gave Midnight throws me past the broken stair And you're walking while I start to cave [Pre-Chorus: build, strained] Could we salvage what we buried here? (Keep it distant, yeah I keep it distant) Could we read the wreckage standing near? (Keep it distant, yeah I keep it distant) [Chorus: cracked shouted, explosive] But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) Cut me loose [Guitar Solo: raw lead, trippy fuzz bends, feedback tails, no vocals] [Bridge: shouted, stop-start] Haul me out of light Haul me out of light Anything is better Anything is better now [Break: hard pause, crashing cymbal] [Chorus: cracked shouted, full band] But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) But you promised you would cut me loose (Cut me loose) Cut me loose Loose me from this hold [Outro: instrumental, feedback tails, analog grit] [End]
