Cold Embrace

{subtle water dripping sound effect,

distant cave ambiance, dark layered low-pass filtered synths swell slowly}

{haunting bluesy piano chords enter gently} The surface was glass,

the air was cold

A secret that we never told

He took me to the lake to wash my mind

Left all of the world behind

{breathy close-mic'd vocal} He took me to the lake and held me

under (deep down) No scream,

just a silent wonder

Water filling up the space

Lost within his cold embrace

{soaring dark vocal layers} {expressive emotional bluesy piano solo,

rolling chords, light

harmonics,

dark synth modulation wobble}

Now I dwell

where the current flows

Deep in the dark where nothing grows

A ritual

of the heavy deep

An endless, quiet, heavy sleep {soft dangerous whisper vocal} (held me under)

(under the lake)

{vocals fade into wet cave

acoustics, slow-speed synth wobble,

final decaying piano chord}
