Holding my breath for an hour and 15

The piercing of any eyes escapes me

How long to force the wait

How long ‘til I pass out

If I speak and no one is around

Sound waves crashing dead upon the ground

Should I believe in you?

When even I don’t exist

Every moment dissipating into pain

The only time I’m alive

The only way I feel free

If I had to choose happiness without you

Then let me break myself down

Into nothing until you’re found

--

How could you cease looking?

When you’ve come so close

I thought you had found me

With a path that you chose

Yet you give in so easy

As if silence is weak

But haven’t you realized?

There’s too much to see

This is less a traditional song demo and more of a technical demo to determine how well the ideas behind this song would work. The actual song will be about 5x as long. But imagine a song being played forwards for just over two minutes, then being played backwards at 4x the speed. That's what this is.
