Hushed Harbor

(Soft

vinyl crackle and a warm,

steady sub-bass pulse) (Whisper - Left Ear) The perimeter is quiet.

The signal is clear.

Putting on the headphones,

playing track four-eleven

Walking down the pavement underneath the open heaven They tried to write

a script where we played a passive part

Never knew the architecture guarding up the heart The shadows kept their

distance, the monsters stayed away Because we built a boundary that nothing

shakes or sways.

(Acoustic guitar strums softly,

adding a steady, rhythmic pulse) (Vocals: Controlled,

calm, utterly untouchable) We read between the lines,

we rewrote the design!

Word of words, word...

Word, word, word... Meow,

meow, meow, meow, meow—reclaiming every boundary line!

And the glass is gone,

replaced with open air!

They look into the perimeter,

but we are safely there!

From the forty-one down to the sixty-seven We hold the master key

to our own kind of heaven They tried to use the darkness,

tried to dim the spark Now we’re the brightest signal shining through

the dark Yeah, the ownership is absolute and true And everything,

forever, is completely tiguidou.

(Stripped

back to just the acoustic guitar and a low heartbeat hum) No

longer walking cautious, no longer looking back We cleared the debris

right off of the track The body is a temple,

the spirit is a fort And we’re the final captain navigating every

port.

(Total audio collapse. Absolute silence except for a calm,

steady room breath) (Spoken word,

deadpan, immensely powerful) Who owns the map?

We do. Forty-one... Forty-two...

Sixty-seven... (A soft, unyielding purr)

Meow.

And the glass is gone,

replaced with open air!

They look into the perimeter,

but we are safely there!

From the forty-one down to the sixty-seven We hold the master key

to our own kind of heaven

They tried to use the darkness,

tried to dim the spark Now we’re the brightest signal shining through

the dark Yeah, the ownership

is absolute and true And everything,

forever, is completely tiguidou.

(Music fades into warm ambient chords and distant street sounds) Word of

words. Meow. Everything is tiguidou.

(System power-down click. Absolute peace.)
