Glass Heart

{haunting piano motif, distant low drums,

shimmering dark pads, guitars ringing like fog horns,

slow 84 BPM, key of D minor}

Rain-soaked stone beneath the street

Stained-glass cracks where shadows meet (ahhh)

We walk in pieces,

you and I

Underneath a red-moon sky {airy high vocals,

warm acoustic piano, steady slow pulse,

distant guitar feedback} In the mirror,

glass is thin

See the sharper shape within

(ohh) {harmony turns eerie,

bass enters,

slow build, tension rising} Break the glass and let it fall

No more hiding on the wall

We are changing in the dark

To survive, we find the spark {huge chorus,

layered soaring voices, chiming guitar tremolo,

deep bass line, driving slow rock beat}

Footsteps echo in the lane

Wash away the older pain (hmm)

I will wear the silver blade

Of the promise that

we made {guitars soften,

steady slow beat, intimate vocal delivery}

Slowly fade, we disintegrate... (ooohhh)

{breakdown, only piano, distant choir textures,

reverse guitar swells, half-dream half-nightmare} Break the glass and let it fall

No more hiding on the wall

We are changing in the dark

To survive, we find the spark

{final massive chorus, peak intensity,

layered vocals, exploding guitars}

Just to survive the night...

(ahhh) {decaying

piano motif, distant harbor guitar ring,

quiet

dying

rain sounds}
