\"Whether<\/p>\n

Whether<\/div>\n

<\/a>
\nFrom the album “Whether<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\n[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
\nWhether
\n(Which)
\nWhen<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStatic in the signal, voices in between
\nEvery path is splitting, every shade unseen
\nLines blur in the distance, futures rearranged
\nTruth is just a whisper dressed up as a name<\/p>\n

Whether we\u2019re the question or the answer in disguise
\nStanding at the crossroads of a thousand alibis<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTicking like a metronome inside the mind
\nEvery second asking what we leave behind<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan we make up our mind
\n(The choice to voice)
\nFind the kind kind
\n(Rearrange change)
\nDraw the line in the sand or erase it in time
\nAre we lost or designed
\n(To redefine)<\/p>\n

[Post-Chorus]
\nWhether
\n(Which)
\nWhen<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMirrors in the hallway, fractals in the frame
\nEvery turn reflects a slightly different name
\nGravity of maybe pulls us left and right
\nOrbiting decisions in the dead of night<\/p>\n

If we pull the thread, does the fabric come undone
\nOr reveal a pattern we\u2019ve been running from<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nRhythm of a heartbeat out of sync again
\nCounting all the moments we could never spend<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan we make up our mind
\n(The choice to voice)
\nFind the kind kind
\n(Rearrange change)
\nBreak the code in the noise or just let it rewind
\nAre we truth or a sign
\n(To redefine)<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Reprise Build]
\nWhether
\n(Which)
\nWhen
\n(Let\u2019s go then)<\/p>\n

[Spoken \/ Layered Vocals]
\nEvery \u201cif\u201d becomes a \u201cwas\u201d
\nEvery \u201cwhen\u201d dissolves because
\nEvery \u201cwhich\u201d divides the sum
\nTill all the answers equal none<\/p>\n

[Full Band \u2013 Driving Bass, Distorted Guitar, Synth Lead]
\nChoose\u2014
\nOr drift forever in between
\n(The scene seen)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nCan we make up our mind
\n(The choice to voice)
\nFind the kind kind
\n(Rearrange change)
\nLight the spark in the dark or just leave it undefined
\nAre we fate or design
\n(To redefine)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhether
\n(Which)
\nWhen
\n(Alright then!)<\/p>\n

… Or Not<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nLines drawn in the static, shifting as we speak
\nEvery \u201cno\u201d\u2019s a whisper, every \u201cyes\u201d is weak
\nPressure in the silence, building in the chest
\nEvery path\u2019s a wager, never knowing best<\/p>\n

Clocks don\u2019t care for questions, only forward motion
\nTime cuts clean through doubt and hesitation<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nWeigh it in the moment, let it tip or break
\nEvery breath a risk we have to take<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)
\nCaught in the tension of a permanent thought
\nWhether we choose
\nOr whether we\u2019re caught<\/p>\n

[Post-Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nEchoes of decisions ringing in reverse
\nEvery cure\u2019s a cause and every blessing curse
\nRunning out of reasons, running out of space
\nEvery answer splinters when we try to face<\/p>\n

If the edge is where the meaning starts to show
\nThen maybe standing still is choosing \u201cno\u201d<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel it in the fracture, hear it in the strain
\nEvery loss and gain is just the same<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)
\nSpinning the wheel that we never forgot
\nWhether we rise
\nOr whether we\u2019re not<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Expansion]
\nIn case you didn\u2019t know\u2026
\n(Here we go!)<\/p>\n

Every second splits in two
\nOne for me and one for you
\nEvery choice divides the line
\nTill there\u2019s no more yours or mine<\/p>\n

[Build]
\nWhether we fall or whether we climb
\nWhether we\u2019re lost inside of the time<\/p>\n

Choose\u2014
\nOr be chosen by the drift<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhether or not
\n(To do or die)
\nTo live or rot
\n(To wonder why)
\nBurn in the question or cut through the knot
\nWhether we are
\nOr whether we\u2019re not<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhether\u2026
\nOr not\u2026<\/p>\n

Perhaps<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nPerhaps
\n(Maybe)
\nSomewhere in between
\n(Yet to be seen)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA flicker in the distance, not quite dark or light
\nA shadow of a feeling we don\u2019t name outright
\nEvery word suspended before it can land
\nSlipping through the fingers of a half-formed plan<\/p>\n

We hover in the margins of a shifting page
\nNot lost, not found\u2014just quietly age<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHold it in the balance, don\u2019t let it fall
\nEvery maybe echoes louder than it all<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nPerhaps we are the in-between
\n(Not wrong, not right)
\nDrifting through the unseen
\n(Out of sight)
\nEvery doubt a doorway we\u2019ve never walked through
\nPerhaps it\u2019s me, perhaps it\u2019s you<\/p>\n

[Post-Chorus]
\n(Time lapse)
\nPerhaps
\n(Maybe)
\nWe\u2019ll see
\n(Hi or bye)
\nDo you wonder why?<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSignals in the silence, coded in delay
\nAnswers that are waiting but refuse to stay
\nEvery turn conditional, every step unsure
\nChasing after something that we can\u2019t ensure<\/p>\n

If truth is just a moment that we falls to past
\nThen maybe doubt\u2019s the only thing that lasts<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLean into the question, lean into the scene
\nThere\u2019s a kind of freedom in the \u201cin-between\u201d<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nPerhaps we are the in-between
\n(Not wrong, not right)
\nDrifting through the unseen
\n(Out of sight)
\nEvery doubt a doorway we\u2019ve never walked through
\nPerhaps it\u2019s me, perhaps it\u2019s you<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIf we never choose, do we ever lose?
\nIf we never land, do we understand?
\nEvery \u201cperhaps\u201d is a place we stay
\nWhen the world demands we fade to gray<\/p>\n

Maybe is a motion
\nMaybe is a wave
\nMaybe is the space between the choices that we crave
\n(What\u2019s the solution?)<\/p>\n

[Full Band \u2013 Expansive, Ambient Wall of Sound]
\nWe are not the answer
\nWe are not the end
\nWe are just the question
\nAsking once again\u2014<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nPerhaps we are the in-between
\n(Not wrong, not right)
\nLiving in the unseen
\n(Endless night)
\nEvery doubt a doorway we\u2019re passing through
\nPerhaps I\u2019m me because of you<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nPerhaps
\n(Maybe)
\nSomewhere in between
\n(Is it but a dream?)<\/p>\n

Weather the Weather<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nDo you know whether
\n(We can weather the weather)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPressure\u2019s in the atmosphere, rising every day
\nClouds are drawing battle lines we can\u2019t wish away
\nHeat beneath the surface, currents start to turn
\nEvery drop a warning, every spark can burn<\/p>\n

Forecast full of signals no one wants to read
\nTruth is in the pattern of the speed<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel it in the wind before it hits the ground
\nEvery quiet moment screams without a sound<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you know whether
\n(We can weather the weather)
\nIt\u2019s not a \u201cwhatever\u201d
\n(It\u2019s life or death)
\nEvery storm we ignore just gets better
\n(At taking breath)
\nDo you know whether
\nWe\u2019ve got anything left<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nStop!
\n[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\n\u2026to catch your breath
\n(It\u2019s life or death)<\/p>\n

[Post-Chorus]
\nWeather the weather
\n(Or fade away)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOceans out of rhythm, rising past the line
\nSeasons losing reason, slipping out of time
\nFire in the distance, flooding in the streets
\nEvery calm illusion ends in shattered beats<\/p>\n

We can build a shelter or deny the sky
\nEither way the storm is drawing nigh<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nStatic in the signal, warnings overlap
\nEvery second lost we don\u2019t get back<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you know whether
\n(We can weather the weather)
\nIt\u2019s not a \u201cwhatever\u201d
\n(It\u2019s life or death)
\nEvery line we redraw binds us tighter
\n(With every breath)
\nDo you know whether
\nWe survive this test<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nStop!
\n\u2026to catch your breath
\n(It\u2019s life or death)<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Expansion]
\nYou can feel it coming in the undertow
\nYou can see it in the afterglow
\nEvery \u201clater\u201d turns to \u201cnow or never\u201d
\nWe don\u2019t outlast\u2014we weather the weather<\/p>\n

Bend or break
\nDecide your fate
\nAdapt or fall
\nBefore it\u2019s too late<\/p>\n

Stand\u2014
\nOr be swept away together<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nDo you know whether
\n(We can weather the weather)
\nIt\u2019s not a \u201cwhatever\u201d
\n(It\u2019s life or death)
\nHold to the line or lose it forever
\n(With every breath)
\nDo you know whether
\nWe become what\u2019s next<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nStop! (Don\u2019t drop)
\n\u2026 catch your breath
\n(It\u2019s life or death)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWeather\u2026
\nThe weather\u2026<\/p>\n

Stormrider<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nYell for \u2018er
\n(Dorothy!)
\nGet into the cellar
\n(Dorothy!)
\nStormrider
\n(Ride the line)
\nWhether we break or stand
\nWeather the storm in hand<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nBlack sky bending, pressure on the wire
\nLightning tracing veins of living fire
\nWhether we flee or face the night
\nWeather the chaos, hold on tight<\/p>\n

Every mile a question in the wind
\nEvery step a place we\u2019ve never been<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel the current pulling at the frame
\nWhether we fall or rise, it calls our name<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nStormrider
\n(Ride the line)
\nThrough the weather
\n(Out of time)
\nHold the center whether worlds collide
\nStormrider
\nDon\u2019t you hide<\/p>\n

[Post-Chorus]
\nStormrider
\n(Stay alive)
\nWhether the night is black or gray
\nWeather it all, don\u2019t fade away<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nRain like static falling through the night
\nSignal lost inside the flashing light
\nWhether the ground will shift or stay
\nWeather the blows and carve your way<\/p>\n

Every drop a memory hitting fast
\nEvery strike erasing what has passed<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLean into the chaos, don\u2019t resist
\nWhether you win or lose, persist<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nStormrider
\n(Ride the line)
\nThrough the weather
\n(Out of time)
\nStand unbroken whether currents divide
\nStormrider
\nBe the guide<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nNot above it
\nNot below
\nWhether you bend or break, you go
\nThrough the center is the only road<\/p>\n

Every fear a wave to ride
\nEvery loss the turning tide
\nWeather it all, through storm and night<\/p>\n

Ride\u2014
\nDon\u2019t fall away
\nRide\u2014
\nThrough the break<\/p>\n

Stormrider!
\nWhether you fade
\nWeather the blaze<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nStormrider
\n(Ride the line)
\nThrough the weather
\n(Out of time)
\nWhen it shatters, be the force inside
\nStormrider
\nTurn the tide
\nWhether the sky burns bright or dim
\nWeather the world on a whim<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nStormrider\u2026
\n(Ride the line)
\nWhether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026<\/p>\n

Weather the Whethers<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWeather the whethers
\n(Whether or not)
\nWeather the whethers
\n(Storm inside, storm out)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nLines split in the sky, fractured by the light
\nWhethers spinning sideways, wrong or right
\nWhether the calm is brief or long
\nWeather the storm, stay strong<\/p>\n

Signals in the distance, messages unclear
\nEvery maybe loud enough to hear<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHold the line, don\u2019t drift away
\nWhether the tide will crash or sway<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWeather the whethers
\n(Whether we rise, whether we fall)
\nThrough the stormy feathers
\n(Weather it all)
\nEvery choice a wave, every doubt a door
\nWeather the whethers, forevermore<\/p>\n

[Post-Chorus]
\nWhether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026
\nWhethers\u2026
\n(Feel it roar)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nClouds like questions, pouring from the past
\nWhethers multiply, nothing seems to last
\nEvery \u201cyes\u201d a maybe, every \u201cno\u201d a lie
\nWeather the whethers, or let them fly<\/p>\n

Balance on the knife-edge, fear inside
\nWhether to run or stay and ride<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLean into the chaos, let it bend
\nWeather the whethers, till the end<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWeather the whethers
\n(Whether we rise, whether we fall)
\nThrough the stormy feathers
\n(Weather it all)
\nEvery step a gamble, every breath a plea
\nWeather the whethers, set yourself free<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nWhethers gather, swirling high
\nWhether we break, whether we fly
\nWeather the chaos, touch the sky<\/p>\n

Ride\u2014
\nThrough the maybes
\nStand\u2014
\nThrough the whethers<\/p>\n

Weather the whethers!
\nWhether the night is black or bright
\nWeather the whethers, hold the light<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWeather the whethers
\n(Whether we rise, whether we fall)
\nThrough the stormy feathers
\n(Weather it all)
\nEvery choice a wave, every doubt a door
\nWeather the whethers, forevermore<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWeather\u2026
\nThe whethers\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nOr not\u2026<\/p>\n

Can I Get Back to You?<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nCan I get back to you
\n(It depends on whether)
\nWhether I can get through
\n(The weather)
\nA challenge\u2026 (an endeavor)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nLines are down, signals fade
\nEvery plan we ever made
\nCaught between the then and now
\nTrying to remember how<\/p>\n

Roads are washed, bridges sway
\nEvery step could drift away
\nStill I hear you calling through
\nStatic skies and shades of blue<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHold the line, don\u2019t let go
\nThere\u2019s a path beneath the flow
\nEvery storm has something new
\nStanding between me and you<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan I get back to you
\n(It depends on whether)
\nWhether I can get through
\n(The weather)
\nEvery wind that blew
\n(Pulled us apart forever)
\nStill I\u2019m pushing through
\n(For worse or better)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nForecast says \u201cuncertain skies\u201d
\nTruth gets lost in alibis
\nNumbers climb, systems strain
\nDancing on the edge of change<\/p>\n

Signals flicker, voices bend
\nEvery message tries to send
\nFragments of what we once knew
\nBreaking through in ones and twos<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nThrough the noise, through the gray
\nI can almost hear you say
\nIf the current lets me through
\nI\u2019ll come back, I promise you<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan I get back to you
\n(It depends on whether)
\nWhether I can get through
\n(The weather)
\nThrough the push and pull
\n(Of pressure building ever)
\nI\u2019m still reaching you
\n(Through stormy tether)<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nCan I get back to you
\n(It depends on whether)
\nWhether I can get through
\n(The weather)<\/p>\n

A challenge\u2026
\n(An endeavor)
\nA breaking point\u2026
\n(Or now or never)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nCan I get back to you
\n(It depends on whether)
\nWhether I can get through
\n(The weather)
\nIf the sky won\u2019t clear
\n(We\u2019ll face it all together)
\nI\u2019ll keep coming through
\n(Despite the weather)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nCan I get back to you\u2026
\n(It depends on whether\u2026)<\/p>\n

Outcome<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nHow come?
\n(Find out in the outcome)
\nOut, out, out!
\n(Come\u2026.)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nShadows stretch across the floor
\nEvery choice leaves us wanting more
\nQuestions spinning, heavy as a drum
\nEverything depends on the outcome<\/p>\n

Whether we stumble or whether we soar
\nEvery door we open asks for more
\nTruth is hidden in the quiet hum
\nWaiting for the answer, waiting for the outcome<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHeartbeat syncing with the rising tide
\nNothing certain, nowhere left to hide<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFinally\u2026
\n(The grand finale?)
\nOh, no\u2026
\n(There\u2019s still a long way to go)
\nWhether we rise or fall in the unknown
\nAll is revealed in the outcome
\nOut, out, out!
\n(Come\u2026.)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMirrors reflecting what we cannot say
\nPaths diverge but never fade away
\nEvery whisper echoes where we\u2019re from
\nEvery shadow points to the outcome<\/p>\n

Whether we fight or whether we yield
\nEvery secret the night won\u2019t let be sealed
\nMoments tremble like a beating drum
\nAll converging into the outcome
\n[Guitar melodic riffs, Organ pad, Bass walking line, Drums light]<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHow come?
\n(Find out in the outcome)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nFinally\u2026
\n(The grand finale?)
\nOh, no\u2026
\n(There\u2019s still a long way to go)
\nWhether we fall or shine, we\u2019ll surely know
\nEverything aligns in the outcome
\nOut, out, out!
\n(Come\u2026.)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nOutcome\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nOut, out, out!
\n(Come\u2026.)<\/p>\n

Interlude: Sum<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nOutcome\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nSome sum
\nHow come\u2026
\n(How come\u2026)
\nWhether\u2026
\n(Which\u2026 when\u2026)
\nEvery answer\u2026 becomes a sum
\n(And then some)<\/p>\n

Whether we add it\u2026
\nWhether we let it go\u2026
\nEvery line\u2026 every flow\u2026
\nBecomes a sum
\n(And then some)<\/p>\n

(Add it up\u2026)
\n(Subtract it out\u2026)
\n(What goes in\u2026)
\nComes back around<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Rising Tension]<\/p>\n

Where from\u2026
\n(Where from\u2026)
\nIt\u2019s all about\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026the sum
\n(And then some)<\/p>\n

Income<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhere from?
\n(It\u2019s all about the income)
\nYou know\u2026
\n(Stop the outflow)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nNumbers climbing on a glowing screen
\nChasing something just beyond the seen
\nEvery measure, every sum
\nAll we gather becomes the income<\/p>\n

Whether we build it or whether we borrow
\nTrading today for another tomorrow
\nEvery whisper turns to a drum
\nCounting the cost of the incoming sum
\n[Guitar arpeggios, Piano chords, Light Drums]<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nBalance tipping on a fragile line
\nWhat we earn and what we leave behind<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFinally\u2026
\n(The grand total?)
\nOh, no\u2026
\n(It\u2019s never enough to hold)
\nWhether we gain or lose as we come
\nAll that remains is the income<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nLedgers written in invisible ink
\nEvery edge brings us back to the brink
\nWhat we take and what we become
\nEchoes louder in the income<\/p>\n

Whether we save it or let it go
\nHighs and lows in the undertow
\nEvery silence hums
\nWith the weight of the incoming sum<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhere from?
\n(It\u2019s all about the income)
\nYou know\u2026
\n(Stop the outflow)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown \u2013 Spoken \/ Layered]
\nAdd it up\u2026 subtract the doubt
\nWhat goes in must come back out
\nEvery line becomes a sum
\nEvery sum becomes the income<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nFinally\u2026
\n(The grand total?)
\nOh, no\u2026
\n(It\u2019s never enough to hold)
\nWhether we rise or fall as we come
\nAll that remains is the income<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nYou know\u2026
\n(Stop the outflow)
\nIncome\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nWhere from\u2026
\n(Fleeting endeavor)<\/p>\n

Change of Whether<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nChange of whether
\n(From maybe to certainty)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nShadows shift where the sunlight bends
\nEvery choice a start, a means, or end
\nWhispers echo, dancing in the air
\nEvery moment caught between here and there
\nWhether we falter or whether we stand
\nIf we should trip, where do we land
\nThe future bends, a thread to tether
\nMark the line: change of whether<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTime moves slow but it\u2019s pulling tight
\nAs the day turns dark as night<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nChange of whether
\n(From maybe to certainty)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFierce winds blow
\n(A storm\u2019s rollin\u2019 in)
\nReign starts to flow
\n(Feel the rule begin)
\nWhether we bend or whether we break
\nEverything changes with the path we take<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMirrors bend the shapes we know
\nPaths diverge where the wild winds blow
\nEvery shadow hides a new design
\nEvery heartbeat marks the line
\nWhether we climb or whether we fall
\nEvery choice echoes through it all
\nThe tide is shifting, tight as a feather
\nStep inside the change of whether<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nChange of whether
\n(From maybe to certainty)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nFierce winds blow
\n(A storm\u2019s rollin\u2019 in)
\nReign starts to flow
\n(Feel the rule begin)
\nWhether we rise or fall in the stormy weather
\nAll is revealed in the change of whether<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Stripped Down \u2013 Piano, Ambient Synth, Light Bass, Guitar echoes]
\nYes (a change of whether\u2026)
\nWhether\u2026<\/p>\n

Hydroclimate Whiplash<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nEmpty sky\u2026
\n(Cracked ground)
\nWet to dry
\n(Look around)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nDust in the rivers where the currents ran
\nLines in the earth a sign of rebrand
\nEvery drop gone before it can land
\nMan, can man not understand<\/p>\n

Then the sky breaks without a sound
\nWalls of water come crashing down
\nWhat was missing now starts to drown
\nChaos turning the world around<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHeat keeps rising, pulling it thin
\nLoad the sky till it caves within
\n[Synth swell, Organ pad, Snare roll build]<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRapid, intense
\n(Swing, swing)
\nRepeat: dry, rinse
\n(Swing, swing)
\nFrom dust to flood in a single breath
\nCycle spinning both depth and breadth<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nForests burn under vacant clouds
\nAsh falls soft like a quiet shroud
\nRoots give way when the flood runs loud
\nNothing stable, nothing allowed<\/p>\n

Whether it breaks or whether it bends
\nEvery system pushed past its ends
\nListen to the message it sends
\nOur forced cycles never mend<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether which weather<\/p>\n

[Breakdown \u2013 Spoken \/ Layered]
\n(Hot air\u2026 old bore)
\nWarmer air\u2026 holds more\u2026
\n(Load it up\u2026)
\nThe humans roll
\n(No control\u2026)
\nDry\u2026 flood\u2026 repeat\u2026
\n(Self-defeat)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nRapid, intense
\n(Swing, swing)
\nRepeat: dry, rinse
\n(Swing, swing)
\nFrom fire to flood in a violent spin
\nLose outside, then lose within<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSwing\u2026 swing\u2026
\nWhether\u2026 which weather\u2026<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nHydroclimate whiplash refers to rapid, intense swings between extreme wet and dry conditions, such as severe drought followed immediately by extreme flooding. Driven by climate change, a warmer atmosphere acts like a larger sponge, amplifying both evaporation and heavy rainfall. The result is severe infrastructure damage, ecosystem stress, and increased wildfire risk, among other impacts. Ultimately, these destabilizing cycles can accelerate land degradation and contribute to desertification.<\/p>\n

Whether Weather\u2019s Weather<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nIs it now\u2026
\n(Or over time?)
\nAnd somehow\u2026
\n(Turns to reason and rhyme)
\nWhether weather\u2019s weather\u2026
\n(Or something more defined)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCloud rolls in and the temperature drops
\nA moment measured in ticking clocks
\nWind shifts direction, pressure drops together
\nThat\u2019s just now\u2014that\u2019s only weather<\/p>\n

One day dry, then washed away
\nNoise in motion, day to day
\nEvery swing a passing tether
\nShort-term signal\u2014that\u2019s just weather<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nBut step back far enough to see
\nPatterns form in memory<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhether weather\u2019s weather\u2026
\n(Or climate in disguise)
\nThe pattern\u2026 time decides
\nHidden in the rise
\nDay by day is noise we measure
\nYears reveal the shape together
\nWhat we get versus what we treasure
\nExpectation\u2014that\u2019s the climate\u2019s measure<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThirty years in quiet rows
\nNumbers speak what no one knows
\nMean and spread begin to tether
\nThat\u2019s the shift from weather to weathered<\/p>\n

Variance bends, extremes align
\nOutliers redraw the line
\nDistribution stretched and severed
\nNow the pattern holds forever<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether\u2026 which\u2026 when\u2026
\nSignal\u2026 noise\u2026 again\u2026<\/p>\n

[Breakdown \u2013 Spoken \/ Layered]
\nWhat you feel\u2026
\n(Is the moment)
\nThe long-term movement
\n(Is the real deal)
\nWhat repeats\u2026
\n(Becomes the beat)
\nWhat persists\u2026
\nDefines insists<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nWhether weather\u2019s weather\u2026
\n(Or a climate redefine)
\nMoments fade to averages
\nAcross the axis of time
\nFrom the flicker to savages
\nFrom the instant to the measure
\nWhat you get is passing weather
\nWhat you expect\u2014that\u2019s climate\u2019s pressure<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWhether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026
\nWeathered\u2026<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\n\u201cWhether Weather\u2019s Weather\u201d explores the fundamental distinction between weather and climate: time scale and statistical pattern. Weather represents short-term atmospheric conditions\u2014the immediate, day-to-day variability we experience. Climate, by contrast, emerges from long-term observation, typically over decades, revealing averages, variability, and trends.<\/p>\n

The song translates this scientific principle into sound\u2014shifting from chaotic, momentary fluctuations to structured, repeating patterns. It emphasizes the difference between what we experience (weather) and what we expect (climate), highlighting how meaning only emerges when viewed across time.<\/p>\n

Caught in the Draft<\/h2>\n

[Intro]<\/p>\n

The reign rain
\n(Takin\u2019 a bath)
\nRuled by the daft
\n(Caught in the draft)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHot air rising off the broken ground
\nPressure drops but it makes no sound
\nColumns build in a tilted shaft
\nPulling everything into the draft<\/p>\n

Moisture climbing in unseen streams
\nLoading sky past bursting seams
\nWhat goes up is held, amassed
\nEnergy building in the draft<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHeat expands and the air gets thin
\nHold it up\u2014don\u2019t let it in<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCriminally insane
\n(Dishin\u2019 out pain)
\nThe reign rain
\n(Takin\u2019 a bath)
\nLift it up just to bring it back
\nLoad the sky through the rising draft
\nRuled by the daft
\n(Caught in the draft)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nEvaporation writes the script
\nOceans breathe and the balance tips
\nInvisible hands recast
\nEvery system into the draft<\/p>\n

Whether it holds or whether it breaks
\nEvery rise accelerates
\nSaturation built to collapse
\nAll that\u2019s stored in the draft<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCriminally insane
\n(Dishin\u2019 out pain)
\nThe reign rain
\n(Takin\u2019 a bath)
\nFrom the rise to the aftermath
\nAll gets pulled into the draft
\nRuled by the daft
\n(Caught in the draft)<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]<\/p>\n

Ruled by the daft
\n(Caught in the draft)<\/p>\n

Up, up, up (draft)<\/p>\n

Warmer air\u2026
\n(Holds more\u2026)
\nLift it up\u2026
\n(Store it all\u2026)
\nLoad the sky\u2026
\n(Till it falls\u2026)<\/p>\n

Criminally insane
\n(Dishin\u2019 out pain)
\nThe reign rain
\n(Takin\u2019 a bath)
\nHold it up\u2014push it past
\nNothing escapes the draft<\/p>\n

\nWhiplash blowin\u2019 past
\n(Increased frequency)
\nIncreased intensity
\n(Extreme scene seen)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1 \u2013 Draft Motif]<\/p>\n

Hot air rises, the pressure bends
\nEvery moment spins and sends
\nMoisture climbs in hidden streams
\nLifting all our fleeting dreams<\/p>\n

Whether we falter or whether we soar
\nEnergy builds, unseen before
\nPulled together, pushed apart
\nAll stored in the draft<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus \u2013 Whiplash Motif]<\/p>\n

Then it falls\u2026
\nDry to wet\u2026
\nChaos strikes\u2026
\nReset the butterfly net\u2026<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Outcome Motif]<\/p>\n

Finally\u2026
\n(The grand finale?)
\nOh, no\u2026
\n(There\u2019s still a long way to go)
\nWhether we rise or fall, the cycle shows
\nFrom the draft to whiplash, everything flows
\nAll that\u2019s stored becomes the outcome
\nAll that\u2019s lifted becomes the sum<\/p>\n

[Verse 2 \u2013 Combined Motifs]<\/p>\n

Smoke and heat, rain and flood
\nMoments clash, splinter, thud
\nEvery line, a thread to tether
\nConnecting draft\u2026 whiplash\u2026 outcome together<\/p>\n

Wind shifts direction, pressure falls
\nCycles bending over all
\nFrom the instant to the long-term span
\nWe measure patterns in the plan<\/p>\n

\nClever?
\n(No matter\u2026 no matter of whether)
\nYes.
\n(Weather!)
\nThere\u2019s confirmation
\n(In climax)
\nRelax?
\n(Fast into the past)
\nExtreme
\n(Know what I mean?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]<\/p>\n

We chase the spark through endless skies
\nMoments flash before our eyes
\nEvery whisper, every clue
\nAdds up to yes, yes, it\u2019s true<\/p>\n

Tides collide, currents bend
\nWhat we take is what we send
\nEvery choice, a thread to sew
\nConfirmation we already know<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]<\/p>\n

Yes.
\n(Confess)
\nThere\u2019s confirmation
\n(In climax)
\nRelax?
\n(Fast into the past)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]<\/p>\n

Extreme
\n(Know what I mean?)
\nObscene
\n(What we\u2019ve done to our scene)
\nWhat we\u2019ve done to our dream\u2026<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]<\/p>\n

Lightning strikes, the world ignites
\nEvery shadow feeding lights
\nTruth emerges, raw and clear
\nYes is what we hold near<\/p>\n

Moments folded, pressed, and bent
\nEvery yes a testament
\nCycles spinning, threads entwine
\nAll confirms what\u2019s yours and mine<\/p>\n

[Bridge]<\/p>\n

1 + 1 = 2

Saturation<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWater rises in the air
\n(Pressure building everywhere)
\n\u2026 are you aware?<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe \u201con average\u201d hides the truth
\nTemperature\u2019s vapor\u2026 uncouth
\nSee (sea) some places feel the wrath alone
\nSee.. Hawaiian seas, storms overblown<\/p>\n

Whether the skies release their flood
\nOr we stand watching, soaked in mud
\nRain pours heavy, lands erased
\nNature\u2019s power cannot be replaced<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTemperature spikes, chaos grows
\n(Chaos knows)
\nLocal fury
\n(We\u2019ve lost control)
\nHuman\u2019s role
\n(And roll, roll, roll)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \/ Refrain]
\nSaturation
\n(The rain won\u2019t wait)
\nSaturation
\n(Too much to mitigate)<\/p>\n

Whether we shield or whether we run
\nEvery drop falls, no matter what\u2019s done<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nViolent torrents tear the shore
\nRivers swell, impossible to ignore
\nEvery forecast underestimates
\nThe storms that local heat creates<\/p>\n

Whether we plan or whether we pray
\nThe clouds decide how the waters play
\nPushed far, far beyond the norm
\nEvery storm a relentless form<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether the world can take the strain
\nOr we collapse beneath the rain<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nSaturation
\n(The rain won\u2019t wait)
\nSaturation
\n(Too much to mitigate)<\/p>\n

Whether we endure or whether we fall
\nThe waters rise, relentless call<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSaturation\u2026
\n(Realization)
\nWhether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026
\n(The pain\u2026)
\n\u2026 of violent rain<\/p>\n

About \u201cSaturation\u201d
\n\u201cSaturation\u201d explores the extreme effects of localized climate anomalies, inspired by the amplified rainfall in regions like Hawaii. While global water vapor has increased roughly 10%, local sea surface temperature spikes can create rainfall up to 70% more intense than usual. The song captures the tension, unpredictability, and destructive power of these events, while weaving in the ongoing motif of \u201cweather and whether\u201d as a reflection of human vulnerability in the face of natural extremes.<\/p>\n

Forecast<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\n(After all\u2026)
\nClouds gather, shadows fall
\n(The sky begins to call)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nRain or shine, we move along
\nEvery choice writes a different song
\nCurrents shift, the winds amass
\nNothing certain in the forecast<\/p>\n

Whether we falter or whether we fly
\nEvery moment asking why
\nThunder rolls, the skyline\u2019s cast
\nHints of fate within the forecast<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether we\u2019ll weather the weather
\n(Whether we stay or sever)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nForecast
\n(How long we\u2019ll last)
\nForecast
\n(If we pass to the past)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nLightning strikes where shadows meet
\nEvery heartbeat marks the beat
\nPaths diverge, the die is cast
\nTime will tell in the forecast<\/p>\n

Whether we weather the storm or flee
\nEvery choice defines the sea
\nMoments tremble like a gale so vast
\nAll is written in the forecast<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether we\u2019ll weather the weather
\n(Whether we stay or sever)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nForecast
\n(How long we\u2019ll last)
\nForecast
\n(If we pass to the past)
\nWhether we rise or fall, we\u2019ll surely know
\nThe answer lies within the forecast
\n(Here we go\u2026.)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nForecast\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026
\nLast past the past?<\/p>\n

Uncertainty<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nShadows linger over the flattened land
\n(The air is still, the sky unplanned)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPaths diverge, the horizon bends
\nEvery answer comes with loose ends
\nQuestions spin like leaves in the gale
\nEvery step uncertain, destined to fail<\/p>\n

Whether we rise or whether we fall
\nEvery choice leaves us small
\nGravity pulls, the ground feels thin
\nSearching for something within<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTime slips through fingers like sand
\nNothing remains exactly as planned<\/p>\n

[Chorus \/ Refrain]
\nThe only certainty
\n(Uncertainty)
\nAnd man\u2019s vanity<\/p>\n

The only certainty
\n(Uncertainty)
\nLosing grasp on humanity<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMirrors reflect what we cannot see
\nShadows of our fallibility
\nEvery whisper, every lie
\nCarries the weight of the sky<\/p>\n

Whether we fight or whether we fade
\nEvery step a choice mislaid
\nMoments tremble on the edge of night
\nSearching for reason, grasping for light<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether we cling to the past
\nOr release all that cannot last
\nEvery breath, a fleeting chance
\nCaught in the endless expanse<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nThe only certainty
\n(Uncertainty)
\nAnd man\u2019s vanity<\/p>\n

The only certainty
\n(Uncertainty)
\nLosing grasp on humanity<\/p>\n

Known Facts<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nLines are drawn, the sky is clear
\n(Nothing hidden, nothing to fear)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nTruth stands firm against the tide
\nNo matter how you twist or hide
\nEvery number, every law
\nHolds the weight of what we saw<\/p>\n

Whether we deny or whether we face
\nEvery fact is in its place
\nReason cuts through shadowed acts
\nNothing bends the known facts<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLogic whispers, order calls
\nEvidence stands where chaos falls<\/p>\n

[Chorus \/ Refrain]
\nFact is fact
\n(And that is that)
\n1+1=2
\n(You know that true is true)<\/p>\n

\u2026 no matter what you do<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nPatterns form in the scattered rain
\nCause and effect will still remain
\nTruth doesn\u2019t bend to opinion\u2019s will
\nIt exists beyond what we instill<\/p>\n

Whether we twist it or whether we claim
\nEvery fact remains the same
\nFoundations solid, not abstract
\nAll is anchored in the known facts<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether the storms rise high
\nOr the sun burns in the sky
\nThe world keeps counting, never lax
\nTruth holds steady, known facts<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nFact is fact
\n(And that is that)
\n1+1=2
\n(You know that true is true)<\/p>\n

\u2026 no matter what you do<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nKnown facts\u2026
\n(The way one acts)
\nWhether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026
\n(We\u2019re in this together)<\/p>\n

Report<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nStatic hum across the airwaves
\n(What comes next, who can say?)
\nAs the human misbehaves
\n(Hey!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nClouds move, the bulletin reads
\nEvery warning plants new seeds
\nRain or shine, the lines distort
\nEvery truth contained in the report<\/p>\n

Whether we listen or whether we stray
\nEvery signal marks the way
\nVoices rise, the numbers chart
\nThe pulse of the storm, a living heart<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nRadar spinning, maps align
\nSignals flicker, crossing the line<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nReport
\n(What we know, what we fear)
\nReport
\n(Will we hold or disappear)
\nWhether we stand or whether we fall
\n(After all\u2026)
\nEvery call is recorded in the report
\n(You\u2019ve no retort)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSirens hum, the city waits
\nEvery update recalculates
\nPatterns shift, the clouds contort
\nThe latest lines appear in the report<\/p>\n

Whether we act or whether we pause
\nEvery choice weighed against the cause
\nMoments flash like lightning\u2019s arc
\nTracking the storm in the heart of the dark<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether we weather the storm together
\n(Whether we break or tether)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nReport
\n(What we know, what we fear)
\nReport
\n(Will we hold or disappear)
\nWhether we rise or fall, we\u2019ll see
\n(If we\u2019ll even be\u2026.)
\nThe answer lies inside the report
\n(What\u2019s our last resort?)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nReport\u2026
\nResort
\n(Whether\u2026)
\nWeather\u2026
\n(Whether\u2026)
\nWeather\u2026<\/p>\n

Twister<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWind picks up, the sky turns gray
\n(Something\u2019s coming our way)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nDust on the horizon starts to spin
\nPulling everything inward again
\nPressure drops, the warning persists
\nEvery second tightening the twist<\/p>\n

Whether we run or whether we stay
\nThe line between just slips away
\nShadows bend, the silence blisters
\nAll signs pointing to a twister<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nSirens crying through the air
\nNo direction anywhere
\nHold on tight, don\u2019t let it blister\u2014
\n(It\u2019s coming fast\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, brother
\nFind your sister
\n(There\u2019s gonna be a twister)<\/p>\n

Please mother
\nCan you resist \u2019er
\n(Look out! It\u2019s a twister)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWalls shake, the windows scream
\nCaught inside a spinning dream
\nDebris dances in a violent arc
\nLightning tearing through the dark<\/p>\n

Whether we break or whether we bend
\nEvery moment could be the end
\nGravity pulls, the air gets thinner
\nRound and round in the spinning center<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether we weather this together
\n(Whether we\u2019re lost forever)
\nRound and round, no way to measure
\n(All the force we can\u2019t sever)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nHold\u2026 hold\u2026 hold\u2026<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nOh, brother
\nFind your sister
\n(There\u2019s gonna be a twister)<\/p>\n

Please mother
\nCan you resist \u2019er
\n(Look out! It\u2019s a twister)<\/p>\n

Whether we rise or whether we\u2019re gone
\nSpinning till the break of dawn<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nTwister\u2026
\n(Mister!)
\nWhether\u2026
\n(Weather\u2026)
\nBlowin\u2019 like a feather<\/p>\n

All Freefall<\/h2>\n

[Intro \u2013 Carryover from \u201cTwister\u201d]
\nTwister\u2026
\n(Twist and lift)
\n[Reverse Guitar Swell, Synth Drop]<\/p>\n

[Ambient Build]
\nCatch the drift\u2026<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nTwister
\n(Twist and lift)
\nCatch the drift
\nNow all is in freefall
\n(Fall, all, all\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Spoken Layer \u2013 Fading \/ Overlapping]
\nWhether we rise\u2026
\nWhether we fall\u2026
\nWhether at all\u2026<\/p>\n

[Refrain \u2013 Slowed \/ Echoed]
\nTwister\u2026
\n(twist\u2026 and\u2026 lift\u2026)
\nCatch\u2026 the\u2026 drift\u2026
\nNow all is in freefall\u2026
\n(Fall\u2026 all\u2026 all\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Descent]<\/p>\n

Twisted
\n(Double fisted)
\nAfter all
\n(The freefall)
\nBegin the end
\n(Flattened\u2026)<\/p>\n

Flattened<\/h2>\n

[Intro \u2013 Impact Residue]
\nIt\u2019s about
\n(To lay it out)
\nAnd\u2026
\n(Flattened\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nEverything pressed into the ground
\nEchoes lost without a sound
\nLines erased, no high, no low
\nNowhere left for us to go<\/p>\n

Whether we rose or whether we fell
\nAll collapsed into a shell
\nWhat was spinning, torn and tall
\nNow reduced to almost nothing at all<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nPressure holds what time can\u2019t mend
\nBreaking points that cannot bend<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFlattened
\n(Under the weight)
\nFlattened
\n(No rise, just fate)
\nWhether we tried or whether we stalled
\nEverything ends here\u2014flattened, all<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDebris settles, silence spreads
\nLingering thoughts inside our heads
\nShadows stretch but never climb
\nFrozen fragments out of time<\/p>\n

Whether we weathered anything
\nOr lost the meaning it might bring
\nEvery question, every call
\nPressed into the final sprawl<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether we weathered the weather
\n(Or broke apart together)
\nWhether it mattered at all
\n(Now leveled, one and all)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Final]
\nFlattened
\n(Under the weight)
\nFlattened
\n(No rise, just fate)
\nWhether we stood or whether we crawled
\nEverything ends here\u2014flattened, all<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nFlattened\u2026
\nWhether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026
\n(The end)<\/p>\n

State of Matter<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nSolid\u2026
\nLiquid\u2026
\nGas\u2026
\n(And everything between)
\n[Guitar harmonic swell, Bass sub tone]<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSpinning force becomes collapse
\nTwist the sky, then flatten maps
\nFrom the storm to aftermath
\nEvery stage along the path<\/p>\n

Whether we rise or whether we break
\nEvery form is bound to take
\nShape within a shifting frame
\nDifferent states, the same domain<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nPressure builds, then dissipates
\nChaos turns, then calibrates<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nState of matter
\n(Change the form)
\nState of matter
\n(Calm to storm)<\/p>\n

Whether we stand or scatter apart
\nEvery phase reflects the heart<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFreefall into something still
\nFlattened by a greater will
\nUncertainty in every breath
\nMeasured truth defying death<\/p>\n

Fact is fact, yet slips away
\nUnder heat or force or sway
\nSaturation floods the line
\nBlurring what we thought defined<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhether we weather the pressure together
\nOr drift through states that never stay tethered
\nSolid ground to vapor thin
\nWhere do we end, where begin?<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\n[Drums drop out, Bass pulse only]
\nOne\u2026 becomes\u2026 many\u2026
\nMany\u2026 become\u2026 none\u2026<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Climax]
\nState of matter
\n(Change the form)
\nState of matter
\n(Calm to storm)<\/p>\n

Whether we rise or dissolve in time
\nEvery phase a fragile line<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nGas\u2026
\n(Pass)
\nLiquid\u2026
\n(We did)
\nSolid\u2026
\n(Yes, we did)
\nNow absence
\n(Silence\u2026)<\/p>\n

Whether\u2026
\nWeather\u2026
\n(We\u2019re in it together)
\n\u2026 forever and ever<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
