Prompt / Lyrics
((Intro – clean dissonant guitar, irregular pulse)) Curtains drawn Blue screen glow Warning sirens Down below Muted glass Distant cries Smoke reflecting In our eyes Someone shouting In the street But the couch Feels warm beneath ⸻ ((Verse 1 – tight syncopated phrasing)) From the safety of the couch We observe the storm outside Scrolling through the falling pieces While the timeline stratifies Neighbors arguing in sirens Breaking news across the feed Every crisis neatly packaged For convenient apathy ⸻ ((Pre-Chorus – tension building)) Close the blinds Lower sound Let the algorithm Drown it out Comfort builds Layer by layer Soft insulation From despair ⸻ ((Chorus – rhythmic stutter)) Com–comfort Com–comfort Comfort paralysis Hands on the glass but we Hands on the glass but we Hands on the glass but we Turn away Wait–wait–waiting Wait–wait–waiting Waiting for someone else Pull the a–a–alarm Pull the a–a–alarm While we watch While we watch While we watch ourselves ⸻ ((Verse 2 – jagged rhythmic delivery)) Streetlights flicker Ash and flame Every headline Names a blame We debate the cause in comfort From a safe and distant room Every warning light is blinking But the silence fills the gloom ⸻ ((Pre-Chorus 2)) Muted screams Across the street Every conscience Half asleep Signal blinking Red and bright Comfort wins Another night ⸻ ((Chorus – rhythmic stutter)) Com–comfort Com–comfort Comfort paralysis Hands on the glass but we Hands on the glass but we Hands on the glass but we Turn away Wait–wait–waiting Wait–wait–waiting Waiting for someone else Pull the a–a–alarm Pull the a–a–alarm While we watch While we watch While we watch ourselves ⸻ ((Bridge – polyrhythmic section)) Window watchers Counting flames Moral math Shifting blame If the problem’s big enough Someone bigger will appear Hero myths For borrowed years ⸻ ((Breakdown – crushing riff)) Soft walls Soft hands Soft lies Soft plans Hard truth Outside We stayed warm Inside ⸻ ((Final Chorus – NO stutter, clear delivery)) Comfort paralysis History passing by We saw the warning Across the sky Comfort paralysis Every excuse rehearsed The house stayed standing While the world Got worse
