A Sudden Surge

A Sudden Surge

[Silence]
[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Organ, Synth]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Low Pulsing Synth, Rolling Bass, Sparse Drums, Gradually Building Guitar]
[Spoken Vocal]
You don’t always see it coming…

A little rise…

(Surprise)

Suddenly—

The urge…

(Surge!)

[Refrain]
Splurge
(A sudden surge)
Rush
(Flow of flush)

[Verse 1]
Something building underneath
Pressure rising, out of reach
Quiet water, standing still
Till it finds the slope and spills

Drop by drop and inch by inch
Then the current makes a switch
What was slow becomes a rush
Suddenly it’s more than much

[Pre-Chorus]
Rise
(Rise)
Flow
(Go)

Build
(Then break)
Move
(Then wake)

[Chorus]
A sudden surge
(Here it comes)
A sudden rush
(Beating drums)

Flow of flush
(Through the way)
Push it forward
(Find the day)

A sudden surge
(Feel the force)
Changing course
(Changing source)

[Verse 2]
No, don’t need a warning
When the river starts transforming
A channel fills, the banks give way
And yesterday becomes today

[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Rising Lead Guitar, Distorted Bass, Rapid Drums, Glitching Synth Pulses]

[Bridge]
Splurge!
(A sudden surge!)

Rush!
(Flow of flush!)

Rise!
(Watch it climb!)

Move!
(Out of time!)

[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Deep Bass, Filtered Synth, Distant Guitar]
Drop…

Drip…

Drop…

Then—

Surge!
(Purge)

[Final Refrain]
Splurge
(A sudden surge)
Rush
(Flow of flush)

[Final Chorus]
A sudden surge
(A sudden rush)
Flow of water
(Flow of flush)

Builds up
(Then breaks)
Changes course
(Overtakes)

A sudden surge
(Feel it move)
No time left
(To disprove)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Driving Drums, Rolling Bass, Guitar Feedback, Glitch Synth, Sudden Stop]
Splurge…

Surge…

Rush…

Flow…

Flush…

(A sudden urge.)
