(Intro)
(Phase 1: The Isolation)(Music: Total silence, then the heavy, low vibration of a phone on wood. A distant piano note strikes.)
(Vocal: Spoken softly, almost entirely dry, right in the listener's ear)
It always starts the same way.
A vibration in the dark.
A habit I can't seem to break.
(Phase 2: The Digital Distortion)(Music: The phone ringtone glitches out. A deep sub-bass drone rolls in like a dark wave.)
(Vocal: Transitioning into a heavily reverberated, ethereal whisper)
Your name on the glass.
The cold, blue light flooding the room.
I know I shouldn't look...
But the silence is too loud tonight.
(Phase 3: The Cinematic Swell)(Music: Ticking clock FX speeds up. Cinematic strings swell to an intense emotional peak.)
(Vocal: Distorted, layered with a pitch-shifted lower octave to sound like an internal echo)
How many times will I let you pull me under?
How many nights will I waste on a ghost?
Answer me...
(Phase 4: The Transition)
(Music: The strings and bass abruptly vanish on a sharp cut. Only a beautiful, crystalline synth pluck echoes out.)
(Vocal: Rehearsed, fading backwards into the delay mix)
...answer me.
(Sound FX: The sharp "swipe to unlock" digital sound effect)
