Lyrics

[Intro]
[guitar, experimental]

[Verse 1]
[close lead vocal]
you describe the color of the emergency light
glass river under the overpass, counting cars by sound

[Pre-Chorus]
[rhythm thins, distant tension rises]
the tape runs out before the message ends

[Chorus]
[full arrangement opens, lead vocal doubles]
zero people at the meeting point

[Verse 2]
[bass movement answers the vocal, percussion stays dry]
you measure the distance by how long the echo takes
the shape of a room after the furniture's gone

[Chorus]
[main groove returns, harmony widens]
zero people at the meeting point

[Bridge]
[drums drop out, exposed distant lead]
you fold the note into a smaller and smaller square

[Chorus]
[rhythm returns, final harmony rises]
zero people at the meeting point

[Outro]
[arrangement narrows, final texture rings out]
the signal collapses into silence

[End]
