Sane

(Intro (whispered, floating))

Count the breath…
Hold it in…

⸻

(Verse 1 (melody sustained, sparse syllables))

Ironed lines
Across my skin
Easy smile
Let you in

Gentle hands
Open wide
Step inside
Step inside

⸻

(Pre-Chorus (lift, airy, melodic))

You’re safe here
You’re safe here
Nothing wrong
Nothing wrong

⸻

(Chorus (soaring, legato melody over complex instrumentation))

I am sane
I am clean
Just the man
That you’ve seen

No alarms
No disguise
Just the calm
In my eyes

⸻

(Verse 2 (more breath, stretched phrasing))

Quiet halls
Silver hum
Closer now
You have come

Shadows bend
Soft and slow
Almost time
You don’t know

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2)

Still breathing
Still calm
Still smiling
Still warm

⸻

(Chorus (thicker harmony, stacked vocals))

I am sane
I am kind
Nothing strange
In my mind

Close the door
Turn the key
It is safe
Here with me

⸻

(Bridge (half-time, voice nearly disembodied))

Almost
Almost
Almost

⸻

(Final refrain (very soft, layered falsetto textures))

Perfectly
Perfectly
Perfectly sane

Dark hypnotic prog alt math rock, shifting meters, heavy syncopation, eerie tension, big melodic 4/4 chorus
