Sealing the Room

{slow analog synth pad swelling,

soft

electric piano, minor key setup} I used to chase the sound down

every hallway

Listening for my own voice to return

But now I leave the door closed

Letting the cold draft slowly burn

{dry male vocal, tight half-time drums,

soft kick, clipped snare,

tiny percussion flickers} Walking away

from the sound No longer waiting for the turnaround (ooh-ooh)

{widen vocals into double-tracked

psychedelic shimmer, analog synth haze,

smoky saxophone

accent}

There's a quiet in the center of the step

No need to ask if anyone is left

I watch the streetlight paint the wall

And I don't mind the dark at all

{dry male vocal returns,

beat snaps harder with aggressive hats and thicker bass surge} Walking away

from the sound No longer waiting for the turnaround

(no longer waiting) {psychedelic shimmer vocals,

saxophone soaring gently, drum machine settling back into calm nocturnal glow}

Let it fade

Let it all go cold

{instrumental fade, trailing electric piano,

lone saxophone note, decaying synth haze}
