Swing For the Fences
Every word, written by AI.
Intro
(Slow, plucked resonator guitar with light, rhythmic banjo delay and low wind ambiance)
[Verse 1]
Dust on the radio, static in the speaker
The moonlight's thin and the shadows growing deeper
There's a pattern in the cornfield, bent against the grain
And a quiet kind of warning whistling through the pane
[Pre-Chorus]
Listen to the baby monitor, crackling in the hall
There's something on the roof, steps along the wall
No coincidence, no place left to run
Just a dead porch light and a loaded gun
[Chorus]
Swing for the fences, lock down the door
Shadows on the field, floorboards on the floor
Is it all a master plan or just a bad dream?
When the quiet gets heavy and the silence starts to scream
Yeah, watch the treeline, hold your breath tight
There’s something out there in the corn tonight
[Verse 2]
Glasses on the windowsill, filled up to the brim
Memories of a lost love fading out of view and dim
He says there are no accidents, everything is drawn
By a higher hand or a shadow on the lawn
[Chorus]
Swing for the fences, lock down the door
Shadows on the field, floorboards on the floor
Is it all a master plan or just a bad dream?
When the quiet gets heavy and the silence starts to scream
Yeah, watch the treeline, hold your breath tight
There’s something out there in the corn tonight
[Bridge]
(Tempo slows, stripped down to a low bass rumble and minor chord acoustic strumming)
Don't look in the mirror... don't open up the latch...
You can hear 'em clicking... waiting for a match...
Look at what she said... remember what she saw...
It’s coming through the basement door...
[Guitar Solo]
(Eerie, echoing slide guitar building in tension)
[Chorus]
Swing for the fences, lock down the door
Shadows on the field, floorboards on the floor
Is it all a master plan or just a bad dream?
When the quiet gets heavy and the silence starts to scream
Yeah, watch the treeline, hold your breath tight
There’s something out there in the corn tonight
[Outro]
(Static fades back in, single acoustic note ringing out)
Just swing...
Hold your breath tight...
Static in the dark... tonight.
(Fade out)
