[Fast Intro: Driving Drums, Distorted Guitar Riff, Pulsing Bass, Bright Synth Stabs]
[Verse 1]
Ticking lines and broken sums
Running fast but nowhere comes
Numbers crash and spill and slide
Truth we tried to hide inside
Every promise overdrawn
Every balance moving on
We were chasing just to chase
Losing track of time and place
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel it break, feel it spin
Let the reckoning begin
No more hiding in the blur
Let the signal reoccur
[Bridge]
Found to be in arrears
(Caught up in the gears)
[Chorus]
Beyond our fears
(The air clears)
Becoming aware
(Our love’s right there)
… yes becoming clear
(Our loves right here)
[Instrumental Break: High-Energy Guitar Hook, Rapid Drum Fills]
[Verse 2]
Burning paper, fading ink
Too fast now to even think
All the debt we thought we owned
Turns to dust and overthrown
Every ledger, every lie
Drifts away and asks us why
We were counting what we lost
Never seeing what it cost
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the rhythm pulls us through
(Every wrong turns into new)
Something louder than before
(Knocking down the accounting door)
[Bridge]
Found to be in arrears
(Caught up in the gears)
[Chorus]
Beyond our fears
(The air clears)
Becoming aware
(Our love’s right there)
… yes becoming clear
(Our loves right here)
[Instrumental Break: Extended Guitar Solo, Driving Kick Drum, Rising Synth Layer]
[Verse 3]
Speeding lines of afterglow
Everything we didn’t know
Falling backward into sight
Turning wrongs into the light
No more balance, no more blame
Everything becomes the same
All the noise begins to fade
Into something unafraid
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it crash, let it fall
(Hear the truth inside it all)
Every error disappears
(As we move beyond arrears)
[Final Chorus]
Beyond our fears
(The air clears)
Becoming aware
(Our love’s right there)
No more years
(No more years)
No more arrears
(Just you here)
… yes becoming clear
(Our loves right here)
[Outro: Fast Fade, Repeating Hook]
Was in arrears…
(Yet, we’re still here…)
No, not in arrears…
(All debt clears…)
… yes becoming clear
(Our loves right here)
[Final Hit: Full Band Stop]
