[INTRO]
You can go deep
If you're willing
[PRE]
Anything we deny
Or repress
Becomes our shadow
[HOOK]
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[Verse 1 - the drums begin to become rhythmic]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
[TURN]
[tension build loop to hard electro drum pattern]
[VERSE 2]
Things have been working out
Much better now
I would have thanked you
For asking
No home
Only memories to hold
[PRE 2]
[HOOK]
Things turn out
For the worse
With many right now
Upbringing taught awareness
Of influence
And presence
[BRIDGE]
Accountable
For more
Than one can know
Isolation worked
[tension build loop to hard electro 909 drum pattern, never going to end]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
[Next HOOK drums becoming hypnotic]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[VERSE 2 - colder, more direct]
It's about an individual
Achieving
Where are all
The individuals?
If you tell someone
A truth
They'll think
You're lying
There is evil
Same as virtue
Yet human emotions
Are more powerful
Than the mind
[PRE-HOOK - female backing vocal echoes last words]
Transcendent emotion
Transcendent emotion
[909s hit till breaking point turns to waves of glitch vocals]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
[PRE Vocal change up unresolved, designed for extension]
Sudden rise into
A red sun
Something underneath
Still moving
The winnowing
Has only just begun
[TURN]
[ACT 2 -continuation. Same groove, more hypnotic. Keep drums restrained. Male lead spoken rhythm, female ghost backing.]
[VERSE 3 - spoken like decoding a page]
Sudden rise into
In sudden rise to
Red sun sedition
Druid noise nest
Edit sound resin
Did note sunrise
Odd sneer in suit
Its odd inner use
Eden dirt is on us
Unsorted inside
Insure in oddest
One-sided it runs
[BREAK - voice gets closer]
Sour is intended
It derides nouns
Underside to sin
Resounds in edit
Its needs I round
Sun riots denied
I undo residents
[HOOK VARIATION - mantra]
The winnowing
The words rearrange
Same old letters
Different cage
The winnowing
The shape remains
Same old weather
Different rain
[BRIDGE - drums drop out, only pad and hiss]
The winnowing
The shadow knows
What we carry
What we show
The winnowing
The undertow
What we bury
Starts to grow
The winnowing
