(Verse 1)
Hallway breathing in reverse
Elevator stuck on worse
Neon flickers through the rain
Trying to remember names
Circuit diagrams in ash
Photographs that never flash
Chairs arranged around the glow
For conversations no one knows
⸻
((Instrumentation breath, delayed guitar harmonics, bass swell))
(Verse 2)
Signal trapped beneath the floor
Every lock invents a door
Telephone with no reply
Buzzing like a captured sky
Shadow stitched across the wall
Listening for something small
Calendar without a year
Static orbiting the ear
⸻
((Transition, fractured percussion, rhythmic dropout))
(Mantra / Fragment)
Hold
Fold
Drift
Shift
Wire
Sleep
Wake
Repeat
Still
Here
Not
Clear
⸻
(Outro possibility, whispered over ambience)
I built a room inside the noise
And taught the silence how to breathe
