(Lofi bedroom trip-hop / late-night voice memo / 74-86 BPM. Male lead vocal, soft female backing. Dusty drum loop, muted Rhodes, low bass, tape hiss, small speaker crackle, no heavy synth, no record scratching. Intimate, sleepy, predawn, slightly broken but warm.)

Static in the brain
Hour after hour folding
Back into the same
Shake of strain
Dawn still grey
Everything bends
But the line stays
[PRE - half-sung, tired but bright]
Fresh eyes
Blue skies
Green see
You whiles

Something in the set
Relaxed
Blocked out

Signal came in broken
Long before the shape
Something in the room
Learned to hold state

Hard edge in focus
Rain clears

Line moves
Through time
Mimics perfection
