The Folding

Verse 1

The room was spinning loud, a sea of moving shadows

I was anchored to the floor, chasing after echoes

Then the crowd just split apart, a sudden shift in space

Everything went quiet when I caught your face.

Chorus

I saw her—

And the lights went flashing.

She was staring,

And I was folding.

She did it to me again,

And God, I hope this doesn't end.

Verse 2

Time is moving heavy, like water in the air

You didn't say a word, you just left it hanging there

My defenses starting breaking, tumbling card by card

Trying to keep my footing shouldn't be this hard.

Chorus

I saw her—

And the lights went flashing.

She was staring,

And I was folding.

She did it to me again,

And God, I hope this doesn't end.

Bridge

(Music drops down to just a throbbing drumbeat and a low synth pad)

Flashing red, flashing blue...

The room is full, but it’s only you.

Take the pieces I have left,

Take my caution, take my breath.

Guitar / Synth Solo

(Slow, bleeding notes with lots of echo and delay)

Outro

Still staring...

Still folding...

Don't let it end.

Just do it to me again.

(Fade out on a single, pulsing bass note)
