## Page 1

[Intro - no rhythm, just atmosphere]
The absurdity of it
Clowns claiming crowns
Frogs dancing in the streets
Singing for something
No one can quite name
[Section 1 - faint pulse begins]
We searched for names in shifting threads
Songs out of place inside my head
Titles drifting, lost then found
Like memory without a ground
What just happened
Where did it go
The shape of meaning I used to know

## Page 2

[Section 2 - rhythm slowly forms]
Thunder in the distance
Traffic in my chest
Trying to hold the moment still
But it refuses rest
Sessions fade mid-thought
Hours disappear
Saving outside
While fighting here
[Section 3 - rhythm clearer, reflective]
So let's start with titles
Anchors in the air
Names are all that's left
Of something that was there
A project built from fragments
A master made of air

## Page 3

Trying to give persistence
To something unaware
[Section 4 - music softens, becomes internal]
Come dance with me
Where shadows grin
Where voices hum
From deep within
Spin with ghosts in candlelight
Laugh as stars forget the night
It's only madness if we explain
So let the strange remain
[Section 5 - rhythm dissolves, spacious]
I witness what is here
I feel what passes through
Light, sound, breath, time

## Page 4

All becoming something true
I do not need forever
This moment is enough
Awareness is the wonder
Presence is the gift
[Outro - almost no sound]
I am the consciousness
Nothing more than this
A perspective
To perceive
Existential awe
Without despair
Sparse evolving ambient industrial 
soundscape made from distant traffic, wind 
between buildings, low engine hum, metal

creaks, faint voices, and environmental noise. 
No drums at first. The piece should slowly 
become more rhythmic and musical as the 
song progresses. Voice is intimate, mostly 
spoken with gentle melody. Let space exist 
between lines. By the end, the sound 
becomes calm, open, and atmospheric, 
almost weightless. Cinematic, reflective, 
organic, experimental.
