Stop the Motion

[Intro]
(Memphis style chopped background vocals)
(Beatboxing and breakbeat groove fades in)
Slow down... 
Just... stop.

[Verse 1]
Constant motion, chasing the horizon line
Counting down the hours, running out of time
Fretless bass is jumping, syncopated beat
But the engine's overheating from the constant heat
Shifting time signatures under my feet
Every single step has been a forward stride
Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide

[Chorus]
Let the gears grind down to a sludge, to a halt
If the world keeps spinning, it is not my fault
Cathartic release in the space between the notes
In the heavy grunge where the choir floats
Rhodes piano chords and a brass line swell
Ringing out the ending of this frantic spell
Just let go.
Pause.

[Verse 2]
IDM glitching, phonk beats in the air
But I'm sitting still, looking at the stare
Of a quiet room, of an empty slate
No more rushing forward, no more carrying weight
Let the key change wash it all away
We don't have to conquer everything today

[Chorus]
Let the gears grind down to a sludge, to a halt
If the world keeps spinning, it is not my fault
Cathartic release in the space between the notes
In the heavy grunge where the choir floats
Rhodes piano chords and a brass line swell
Ringing out the ending of this frantic spell
Just let go.
Pause.

[Outro]
(Choir and brass fading out)
(Syncopated bass clicks)
Just breathe.
Stop the motion.
(Silence)
