Help Me Breathe

{subtle tape hiss, distant sparse piano chords,

slow building low-end filter sweep} (shhhh) (mmm-mmm)

My head is hurting

Please stop calling me

I am gonna buy you out But you need to stop

it {intimate dry vocal,

soft electronic drums enter} I need some help,

some room to breathe

I need a little base to ground me (help me now) {subtle

build-up, synth

swelling, heartbeat kick drum}

I love everyone please

I need you here with me

Just do not tell me otherwise

My friend, we can survive

(please) {warm deep sub-bass drop,

lush

vocal harmony

layer}

Keep me safe from the noise

Keep me from the life I knew

My friend,

don't walk away

{rhythm section drops to half-time,

acoustic guitar pluck} I love everyone please

I need you here with me

Just do not tell me otherwise

My friend, we can survive (I need you) {full rich arrangement,

emotional peak}

I love everyone (mmm-mmm)

{instruments

slowly fade out, leaving

only a single sine wave bass

and vinyl crackle}
