Kite in the Gale

[Intro]
(Atmospheric shifting synths, sparse acoustic guitar harmonics)
(Fretless bass sliding quietly in the background)

[Verse 1]
The wind is a call that I cannot ignore
Pulling me up from the dust of the floor
I wanted the sky, I wanted the space
To lose every boundary, to run from this place
A coordinate lost in the infinite blue
But the higher I climb, the more I need you

[Chorus]
(Heavy syncopated fretless slap bass and complex Phonk-inspired drums enter)
(Shifting time signature groove)
I'm a kite in the gale, but I need the line!
Holding me tight, keeping me fine!
Without your grip, I would drift and decay
Shattered and lost in the cold, empty grey
It's the pull of the string that lets me rise!
The anchor of love that rules my skies!

[Verse 2]
The storm is a current of pressure and doubt
It wants to disconnect, to snuff me out
But I feel the tension, the pulse in the thread
A steady direction when gravity's dead
Freedom isn't falling, away from your hand
It's knowing exactly where I'm going to land

[Chorus]
(Heavy syncopated fretless slap bass and complex Phonk-inspired drums)
(Shifting time signature groove)
I'm a kite in the gale, but I need the line!
Holding me tight, keeping me fine!
Without your grip, I would drift and decay
Shattered and lost in the cold, empty grey
It's the pull of the string that lets me rise!
The anchor of love that rules my skies!

[Outro]
(Drums drop out, leaving only the sliding fretless bass and shimmering IDM textures)
The tension is sweet...
It's the only thing keeping my wings complete.
(Fades out on a single sustained bass harmonic)
