[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Tense Bass Pulse, Tight Drums, Distorted Guitar Stabs, Rising Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
Sometimes it’s close…
A little too close.
One second…
One breath…
One brush.
[Refrain]
Run away today
(Rush!)
A close brush
(With death)
Escape the depth
(Escape the breadth)
[Verse 1]
Something moved just out of sight
Something changed in one short night
Footsteps fading, heart beats fast
Didn’t know if it would last
Close enough to feel the heat
Close enough to miss the beat
One small turn, one narrow space
One more chance to leave the place
[Pre-Chorus]
Run!
(Run!)
Move!
(Move!)
Don’t look back
(Stay on track)
Near!
(Too near!)
Clear!
(Get clear!)
[Chorus]
A close brush
(Too close)
A close call
(That’s all)
One more step
(Could have changed)
One more breath
(Could have rearranged)
Escape the depth
(Escape the breadth)
Find the edge
(And step away)
Run away today
(Rush!)
Live another day
[Verse 2]
Depth below and breadth around
Danger hiding without a sound
Sometimes what you cannot see
Is the thing that changes everything
A narrow path, a shifting line
A moment hanging on the time
No guarantee, no safety net
Just one more chance to not regret
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Tense Blues-Rock Lead, Pulsing Bass, Driving Drums, Glitching Synth]
[Bridge]
Close brush!
(With death!)
Depth!
(Breadth!)
Run!
(Rush!)
Step away
(From the edge)
Turn around
(Leave the ledge)
[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Low Bass, Acoustic Guitar Harmonics, Distant Synth]
One breath…
(Breath depth)
One heartbeat…
(Moments fleet)
[Final Refrain]
Run away today
(Rush!)
A close brush
(With death)
Escape the depth
(Escape the breadth)
[Final Chorus]
A close brush
(With death)
A close call
(And nothing less)
Escape the depth
(Escape the breadth)
Leave the edge
(And catch your breath)
Run away today
(Rush!)
Don’t wait
(Another day)
A close brush
(Too close)
But still alive
(To survive)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Bass Pulse, Guitar Feedback, Rapid Drums, Synth Rising Then Abrupt Stop]
Close…
Brush…
One more breath…
One more day.
(Walk away)
