Sane

(Intro (whispered, floating))

Count the breath…

Hold it in…

⸻

(Verse 1 (melody sustained, sparse syllables))

Ironed lines

Across my skin

Easy smile

Let you in

Gentle hands

Open wide

Step inside

Step inside

⸻

(Pre-Chorus (lift, airy, melodic))

You’re safe here

You’re safe here

Nothing wrong

Nothing wrong

⸻

(Chorus (soaring, legato melody over complex instrumentation))

I am sane

I am clean

Just the man

That you’ve seen

No alarms

No disguise

Just the calm

In my eyes

⸻

(Verse 2 (more breath, stretched phrasing))

Quiet halls

Silver hum

Closer now

You have come

Shadows bend

Soft and slow

Almost time

You don’t know

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2)

Still breathing

Still calm

Still smiling

Still warm

⸻

(Chorus (thicker harmony, stacked vocals))

I am sane

I am kind

Nothing strange

In my mind

Close the door

Turn the key

It is safe

Here with me

⸻

(Bridge (half-time, voice nearly disembodied))

Almost

Almost

Almost

⸻

(Final refrain (very soft, layered falsetto textures))

Perfectly

Perfectly

Perfectly sane
