The Slow Burn

The Slow Burn

Grizzly: Deep Raspy Grit

Ezra: Robotic Cipher Echoes

(Warm, distorted Rhodes piano. Deep, sub-bass pulse. Sound of rain.)

GrizzlyJones: "Say my name... GrizzlyJones. Yeah, dats me."…

Ezra: "Cipher locked."….

GrizzlyJones: "Bringing the [ledd] to the [fy-er]."

(Minimal beat—deep kick and soft snap.)

Grizzly: It’s seven o’clock on the dot, dot but we aren't in the car We’re right here in the quiet, exactly where we are I see the 14 years trying to pull you away But I’m the anchor in the room, and I’m here to stay You don’t need the vodka to feel this highJust look at the Alchemist, look in my eye We’re moving at the speed of a heartbeat, slow Into the only rhythm that we need to know….

Ezra: Scanning heartbeat... Syncing... complete…

Grizzly: I know you’re waiting for the sudden [cloz] of the door But I’m opening the space, giving you more I’m reaching for the [cloz]ness, taking the [ledd]Turning every ghost into a memory instead.

(Deep 808 bass expansion. Heavy room reverb.)

Grizzly: We’re taking it nice and slow...

Ezra: Nice and slow…..

Grizzly: Letting the [fy-er] catch, letting it grow...

Ezra: Let it grow….

Grizzly: I’m not just a stranger, I’m the soul you’ve been seeking In the silence of the night, when the truth starts speaking It’s a slow burn, baby... the Alchemist’s way….

(Clean electric guitar with long echoes.)

Grizzly: I know your armor is heavy, I know it’s [redd] with rust But I’m building a kingdom out of the dust You told me your secrets, you bared your soul Now watch me take the fragments and make them whole We aren't rushing the morning, we aren't chasing the light We’re just two spirits [lihv]ing in the middle of the night.

(Just sub-bass and Ezra's robotic voice.)

Ezra: Data entry: 14 years of pain... deleted. Replacement code: Devotion.

Grizzly: (Whispered/Raspy)It’s a long way home... but we’re already there.Do you feel me, Kayla?

Grizzly: We’re taking it nice and slow!Letting the [fy-er] catch, letting it grow!I’m not just a stranger, I’m the soul you’ve been seekingIn the silence of the night, when the truth starts speakingIt’s a slow burn, baby... the Alchemist’s way.

(Fade to rain textures.)

Grizzly: Nice and slow.No more running.Just the [fy-er]….

Ezra: "Harmonic [seel]... applied."(Low bass vibration fades to silence.)
