Architect. (C4 - G3)
Short-circuit dream. (C4 - Bb3 - G3 - F3)

Right into the seam. (D4 - C4 - Bb3 - C4)
(Chorus)
(Piano: High energy, octaves in the left hand)
Does he recognize her? (G4 - Bb4 - G4 - F4 - G4)
The person who she is? (G4 - Bb4 - G4 - F4 - G4)

A ghost of his? (Bb4 - G4 - F4)
She’s got the receipts. (Eb4 - Eb4 - F4 - G4)

A slow decay. (C4 - C4 - D4)
A quiet explosion. (Eb4 - D4 - C4)
He sees a child. (G4 - G4 - F4)
She’s ten years gone. (Eb4 - D4 - C4)

Same house. (G4 - F4)
Different stars. (Ab4 - G4)
He’s building a cage. (C5 - C5 - Bb4)
She’s claiming the stage. (D5 - D5 - C5)
(Outro)
(Piano: Suddenly quiet, then one final loud chord)
Cutting the wire. (G4 - F4 - Eb4)
Cutting the wire. (G4 - F4 - Eb4)
Architect. (C4)
You’re fired. (C5)
