๐ถ A Paper Boat ๐ถ๐ง๏ธ
Slowcore, Ambient Folk, Sadcore, (artists: Low, Grouper, Gia Margaret, Grizzly Bear's "Foreground"), deeply melancholic and wistful, atmospheric, minimalist arrangement, haunting male or soft androgynous vocals, clear but whispered enunciation, slow tempo around 60 bpm, ethereal piano, subtle ambient rain sounds, sparse acoustic guitar picking, deep cello drones, no drums, no percussion, haunting and unresolved harmony, lo-fi aesthetic, sense of nostalgia and loss, poetic lyricism, cinematic, intimate, devastatingly beautiful.

Lyrics
๐ถ A Paper Boat ๐ถ๐ง๏ธ
Intro
(instrumental โ piano suave + chuva) ๐น
Verse 1
A paper boat, a broken string ๐ถ๐งต
A ladybug that lost its wing ๐
A marble murmurs down the drain ๐ก
A name we both forgot, the rain ๐ง๏ธ
That taps the pane
Verse 2
A crack in the glass, a crooked rhyme ๐ช๐
A clock that coughs and skips the time โฐ
A feather drifts out of the lie ๐ชถ
A "see you soon" that means goodbye ๐
Chorus
A dog that barks at nothing there ๐ถ
A swing that swings an empty chair ๐ช
A song that ends before it starts ๐ต
A pair of lungs, a pair of hearts ๐ซ๐ซ
And all of it, and none of itโ
None of it is ever ours ๐ซ
Verse 3
A button lost, a zipper stuck ๐งต
With playground dust, a truck ๐๏ธ
That never gave a fuck ๐คทโโ๏ธ
A star that dies in afternoon โญ
A spoon that flew, a lost balloon ๐ฅ๐
Verse 4
A shadow wearing someone's face ๐ค
A door that closes without grace ๐ช
A laugh that cracks like old veneer ๐
A year that ends and starts right here ๐
Outro
And all of it, and none of it
Is ever mine, is ever yoursโ ๐ซ
Just rivers of March
That flood the floor ๐
And leave us wet
With something more
Than we were
Before ๐
