Zero Instruments (versión 2)

Acapella Intro: Raw Male Vocal

(No instruments, sung close to the mic)

I thought I knew the water...

But I'm stepping on the glass.

Verse 1: Slow Fingerpicking Acoustic Guitar

Male Vocal

Every time I try to anchor down,

The river moves too fast.

I’m holding onto driftwood,

Waiting for the crash.

Tempo Shift: Fast Aggressive Acoustic Strumming

Female Vocal, Bluesy and rhythmic

Well, you can't control the river, boy!

You just gotta ride the wave!

You're looking for a savior,

In a bed you didn't make!

I'm throwing out the lifeline,

But you're looking at the sky!

Trading Vocals: Fast-paced vocal interplay

[Male] I'm sinking in the middle!

[Female] Then you better learn to fly!

[Male] I'm running out of oxygen!

[Female] Stop asking for the shore!

[Male] I've given all I have to give!

[Female] Then you gotta give me more!

Sudden Stop: Complete Silence

(One... two...)

Explosive Rock Chorus: Heavy Organic Drums, Piano, Both Voices Belting

Pull me out of the undertow!

We're breaking through the ice!

No more playing safe,

We're rolling the loaded dice!

Crash into me, let the levee break!

Give me every single thing that you can take!

We're out of the shallow, we're in the deep!

Instrumental Break: Heavy Blues-Rock Guitar and Drums

(Yeah!)

Bridge: Slows down instantly, quiet piano

Female softly

The quiet makes you crazy...

Male softly

The silence makes me numb...

Both building up

But I can hear the thunder...

I can hear the thunder come!

Explosive Rock Chorus: Max Energy, Both Voices

Pull me out of the undertow!

We're breaking through the ice!

No more playing safe,

We're rolling the loaded dice!

Crash into me, let the levee break!

Give me every single thing that you can take!

We're out of the shallow, we're in the deep!

Acapella Outro: Sudden instrument cutoff

Female Vocal

We're in the deep...

Male Vocal, fading whisper

Stepping on the glass.
