        
[A slow, weighty bassline. Hazy, lingering organ chords. Vocals are subdued, almost slurred, blending melody and mournful spoken word.]

[Verse 1]
Needle slips into the vein
Warmth spreads out to kill the pain
The world goes soft at every edge
A silent, weightless, solemn pledge

[Verse 2]
Eyes are heavy, limbs are lead
Voices slow inside my head
Fading out like radio waves
In these velvet depths, I’ll stay

[Chorus – Music swells gently but still feels submerged]
Velvet depths… where nothing hurts…
Velvet depths… in cotton shirts…
No tomorrow… no demands…
Just still and steady hands…

[Verse 3]
You ask me questions… I just smile
Floating free… for a little while
There’s no grief here… no regret
Just a sunset… not set yet…

[Chorus]
Velvet depths… where nothing hurts…
Velvet depths… in cotton shirts…
No tomorrow… no demands…
Just still and steady hands…

[Bridge – Music becomes even slower, more sparse, like a fading pulse]
This is the calm… this is the fall…
This is the… end of it all…
Or maybe just… a real long pause…

[Outro – Voice is a near-whisper, music dissolves into soft organ and one last bass note]
Don’t wake me…
I’m already…
Gone…
