Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said my name Like a secret in a stairwell Eyes on the exit sign Heart on the line Half gone You touched my wrist Time stalled in the doorway Quiet as a breaking glass Soft as a closing book [Pre-Chorus] Every breath a border Every glance a dare Are we saints or liars Standing Standing there [Chorus] These are vows of unknown Words we never speak out loud All our promises Half-grown Rooting in forbidden ground If we fall We fall alone Still we lean into the sound Of these vows These vows of unknown Pulling us down Pulling us down (oh) [Verse 2] You trace a path Through the fault lines of my stories Finding the missing years Names that I never say Mouth by my ear Asking things you shouldn't ask me Silence like a held-in storm Waiting to split the sky [Pre-Chorus] Every touch a warning Every pause a prayer Are we safe or sorry If we cross it there [Chorus] These are vows of unknown Words we never speak out loud All our promises Half-grown Rooting in forbidden ground If we fall We fall alone Still we lean into the sound Of these vows These vows of unknown Pulling us down Pulling us down (yeah) [Bridge] [Beat drops to bass and distant vocals] Say it once Just once In the dark In the in-between (oh) Let it burn Let it turn Every careful lie we keep [Chorus] These are vows of unknown Etched in shadows on our skin Every almost Every almost Circling what we could have been If we fall We fall alone But your breath still haunts my bones These vows These vows of unknown Won't let me go Won't let me go

folk, Slow-burning art-pop ballad with male vocals, dusty folk guitar and pulsing warm bass; verses start intimate and close-mic over sparse pads, then tension swells with distant choirs and tom rolls; chorus drops into a wide, cinematic dream-pop wash with stacked background vocals, shimmering synth swells, and a seductive low-end throb; final section blooms into reverb-heavy strings and wordless harmonies fading into haze, dream pop, ballad, art pop
