Sea of Lies

Tempo: 90 BPM | Key: Am ; Bm modulation | Style: Slow Afrobeat with Neo Disco synths

[Catchy Synth & Guitar Intro]
(Warm pad synths, muted guitar riffs, Afrobeat percussion)

[Verse 1]
[Gravelly male vocal, Key: Am]
Familiar eyes meet on the street,
(Whispers in the shadows)
A smile that once was sweet,
(Ooh-ee-ee)
Now just a ghost of you and me.
(Palm-muted guitar accents)

[Key: A]
Clich;d words we used to say,
(Empty like the rain)
You whisper "love" but turn away,
(Ooh-ee-ee)
The fire in my soul’s gone cold today.

[Chorus: Duet]
[Gravelly male vocal]
"Remember, darling?
You vowed forever,
Your amber eyes, a storm of lies…"
[Soulful female vocal]
"Remember, darling?
I burned like embers!
You were my ocean—now just foam and sighs."

[Hook]
[Gravelly male + Echo]
You were my ocean—now just foam and sighs,
Your arrows pierce where our love once thrived.
[Orchestral swell]
You were my ocean—now just foam and sighs,
Time won’t heal these wounds, no matter how I try.

[Bridge: Symphonic Crescendo]
(Key change to Bm, strings rising)

[Verse 2]
[Gravelly male vocal, Key: Bm]
Five minutes to say goodbye,
(The clock devours us)
Your scarf dissolves into the sky,
(Ooh-ee-ee)
A silent ache where love once lied.

[Key: B]
The metro hums, a hollow sound,
(Your shadow’s lost in crowds)
My heart’s a ship you let me drown,
(Ooh-ee-ee)
The tide of time won’t turn around.

[Neo Disco Synth Solo]
(Funky bassline, shimmering arpeggiators)

[Outro: Orchestral Collapse]
[Minor chords, fading into sparse percussion]
[End]
