Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Three and three We called it even Counted fingers Like a secret code Six small threads On the same old ceiling Pulled so tight That the plaster showed [Chorus] Six tethers Holding us together Frayed seams Still we pull forever You’re tied to me I’m tied to you Who cuts first if we cut through? Six tethers Hanging from the rafters Same fight Different kind of answer If one snaps Do we fall or fly? Six tethers You and I [Verse 2] You keep score On the kitchen counter Chalk-white lines From the coffee mug I keep notes In a busted browser Half-typed words I can’t unplug [Chorus] Six tethers Holding us together Frayed seams Still we pull forever You’re tied to me I’m tied to you Who cuts first if we cut through? Six tethers Hanging from the rafters Same fight Different kind of answer If one snaps Do we fall or fly? Six tethers You and I [Bridge] One for the lies One for the late nights One for the silence We drag like chains One for the plans One for the past life One for the promise That still remains (hey) [Chorus] Six tethers Holding us together Shook walls But we stand Whatever You’re tied to me I’m tied to you Maybe love is learning to Let tethers stretch Not tear forever New knots Different kind of tether If they snap Maybe we still try Six tethers You and I

Angular indie-pop with male vocals; bright chorus guitars over a tight, dry drum groove, bass pushing a restless pulse. Verses stay sparse with plucky arpeggios and close, almost spoken vocals; chorus widens into jangly strums, doubled hooks, and shouty backing chants on the title line. Bridge drops to just bass and rim clicks before a final explosive hook.
