Foggy Glass

[Tempo: 113 BPM]

[Time Signature: 18/8]

[Arrangement: Heavy staccato math-jazz piano, sliding fretless bass, polyrhythmic drums, idiosyncratic spoken-sung female vocal]

[Intro]

[Key: B Minor]

[Arrangement: Heavy staccato piano ostinato in 18/8, sliding fretless bass entrance, syncopated folk-jazz percussion]

[Bmmaj7] [F#7b9] [Gmaj7#11] [Bb13] [Ebm9] [Cm6] [D7#9] [F#7aug]

[Verse 1]

[Key: B Minor]

[Arrangement: Interlocking piano polyrhythms, vocal-like fretless bass counterpoint, idiosyncratic spoken-sung lead vocal]

[Bmmaj7] I walk in heavy [F#7b9] sleep

[Gmaj7#11] Drifting through quiet [Bb13] dark

[Ebm9] A plague infects my [Cm6] dreams

[D7#9] False hope acts like a pacifying [F#7aug] drug

[Bmmaj7] I fed upon the [F#7b9] lie

[Gmaj7#11] Trapped in a glass [Bb13] illusion

[Ebm9] Ignoring every warning [Cm6] sign

[D7#9] Standing upon the [F#7aug] edge

[Pre-Chorus]

[Key: G Minor]

[Arrangement: Aggressive piano accents, sweeping fretless bass slides, detached spoken jazz-fusion phrasing]

[Gmsus2] Denial feels like [Ebmaj7#11] peace

[C13] A quiet numbing [Adim7] trance

[Gmsus2] True clarity is [Ebmaj7#11] born

[Dbmaj7] At the edge of [F7#9] breakdown

[Chorus]

[Key: Bb Major]

[Arrangement: Dynamic ethno math-jazz climax, driving polyrhythmic drums, percussive piano riffing, expressive vocal doubling]

[Bbmaj7#11] Break through the [F9] foggy glass!

[Gbmaj7] I wake up at [Dbmaj7] last!

[Eb9] The false hope falls [Bb13] away

[Bmaj7] Into cold light of [F#7#9] day

[Verse 2]

[Key: B Minor]

[Arrangement: Complex piano staccato lines, vocal-like bass solos underneath, eccentric vocal pacing]

[Bmmaj7] The nightmare bleeds [F#7b9] right through

[Gmaj7#11] My sanctuary [Bb13] walls

[Ebm9] Comfort was a [Cm6] trap

[D7#9] Paving a quiet [F#7aug] fall

[Bmmaj7] Standing on the steep [F#7b9] brink

[Gmaj7#11] Forced to finally [Bb13] think

[Pre-Chorus]

[Key: G Minor]

[Arrangement: Escalating polyrhythmic piano ostinato, sliding fretless bass, intense detached vocal strain]

[Gmsus2] Denial feels like [Ebmaj7#11] peace

[C13] A quiet numbing [Adim7] trance

[Gmsus2] True clarity is [Ebmaj7#11] born

[Dbmaj7] At the edge of [F7#9] breakdown

[Bridge]

[Key: E Minor]

[Arrangement: Avant-garde math-jazz breakdown, rapid percussive piano solo, unconventional vocal improvisations]

[Em9] I shatter the [Cmaj7#11] dream

[F13] The plague is [Bbm7] undone

[Ebmaj7] No longer drugged by [Abmaj7] lies

[Db7#9] Standing under the [C7#9] sky

[Fm9] Truth hits with a [Dbmaj7] violent shock

[Gb13] The waking mind will [C7#9] unlock!

[Em9] [Bbm7] [Gb13] [C7#9]

[Chorus]

[Key: Bb Major]

[Arrangement: High-energy polyrhythmic climax, percussive piano riffs, sliding bass fills, avant-garde vocal layer]

[Bbmaj7#11] Break through the [F9] foggy glass!

[Gbmaj7] I wake up at [Dbmaj7] last!

[Eb9] The false hope falls [Bb13] away

[Bmaj7] Into cold light of [F#7#9] day

[Outro]

[Key: B Minor]

[Arrangement: Decelerating piano ostinato, trailing fretless bass slides, dying cymbal sustain, spoken whisper fade]

[Bmmaj7] The sleepwalk is [Bb13] done now...

[Gmsus2] On the sharp [Gbmaj7] edge...

[Fm9] I am awake...

[Em9] Standing in [Bmmaj7] light...

[End]
