[ACT I – FOLK]
(0:00-1:20)
[Verse 1]
I built my life from little things
Front porch lights and wedding rings
Pictures hanging on the wall
Believing they would never fall
I knew the names of every star
Back when they didn’t seem so far
Back when tomorrow looked the same
And every road had just one name
[Chorus]
Hold…
That’s what everybody says
Hold…
Like it keeps the dark away
Hold…
Like your hands are strong enough
To stop the world from changing
[Verse 2]
The cracks were small at first, I think
A little distance, little drift
Nothing anybody sees
Until it starts beneath your feet

[ACT II – MASSIVE POP ANTHEM]
(1:20-2:30)
[Verse]
So smile for the picture
Smile for the crowd
Smile while the thunder
Gets louder now
Tell everybody
Everything’s fine
Say it enough
Maybe it’ll sound right
[Huge Chorus]
WE’RE ALRIGHT!
WE’RE ALRIGHT!
Nobody look behind
WE’RE ALRIGHT!
WE’RE ALRIGHT!
Everything’s still mine
WE’RE ALRIGHT!
(But the walls are moving)
WE’RE ALRIGHT!
(And I can’t stop them)

GENRE SHIFT #2
[ACT III – POP PUNK]
(2:30-3:40)
[Verse]
Wait!
Maybe if I call enough
Maybe if I care enough
Maybe if I never sleep
Maybe I can catch the pieces
Before they hit the street
Wait!
Give me one more conversation
One more chance at restoration
One more shot to make it right
Don’t leave me alone tonight
[Chorus]
I’M RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY
RUNNING OUT OF WAYS TO STAY
AND EVERY DOOR I TRY TO SAVE
BECOMES ANOTHER THING THAT BREAKS
⸻
GENRE SHIFT #3
[ACT IV – EDM]
(3:40-4:40)
[Verse]
Everything sounds far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
[Build]
I can feel the signal fading
Feel the signal fading
Feel the signal fading
[DROP]
Hold
Hold
Hold
Hold
Hold
…
Missed it.
[Verse]
Faces blur
Names blur
Years blur
I don’t know
Where they went
⸻
GENRE SHIFT #4
[ACT V – JAZZ]
(4:40-5:40)
[Verse]
Funny thing about disasters
You imagine sirens
You imagine explosions
But most of the time
Things leave quietly
One chair empty
One phone call less
One person who doesn’t come back
And one day you realize
You stopped expecting them
[Piano Interlude]
Maybe that’s the saddest part
How quickly we learn to live without miracles
⸻
GENRE SHIFT #5
[ACT VI – DEATHCORE]
(5:40-7:00)
[SCREAM]
NO.
NO.
NO.
I DON’T ACCEPT THIS
I DON’T ACCEPT TIME
I DON’T ACCEPT LOSING EVERYTHING
THAT MADE THIS LIFE MINE
[Blast Beat]
I HELD THE LINE
I DID MY BEST
I CARRIED STORMS INSIDE MY CHEST
I GAVE AND GAVE AND GAVE UNTIL
THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT
[Breakdown]
WHO AM I
IF EVERYTHING CHANGES?
WHO AM I
IF EVERYBODY LEAVES?
WHO AM I
IF ALL THESE MEMORIES
ARE JUST GHOSTS
LIVING INSIDE OF ME?
[Massive Breakdown]
HOLD
HOLD
HOLD
HOLD
SLIP
HOLD
HOLD
SLIP
HOLD
SLIP
SLIP
SLIP
