field notes: olphia

"We found the rhythm in the static first. It felt like something unearthing itself. Marrow and Bone isn't a song about being together; it's about the friction of existing in the same skin. It's heavy, atmospheric, and a bit frightening, just like us."

field notes: clark

"I wanted the low end to feel like a warning. If Olphia is the ghost, I'm the machine keeping the walls from caving in. We don't harmonize so much as we collide. Watch your step with this one."

"stripped down to the marrow, waiting for the bone to break..."

Lyrics and such:

[Intro] 
[Cold industrial clanging, steady 124 BPM mechanical kick, sharp metallic percussion]

[Verse 1 - Olphia Jane] 
One stone
White and cold
Long way home
Same old soul
(Same old soul) 
Before the break 
Within the frame 
Carry the weight 
No other name

[Verse 2 - Clark Marrow] 
Split the glass 
Keep the pace 
Hard strike 
Trace the face 
Internal architecture 
Blood and ash 
Move the line 
Harder crash 
(Harder crash) 
No delay 
No retreat 
One pulse 
Dead heat

[Chorus - Olphia Jane & Clark Marrow] 
Marrow and bone 
(Marrow and bone) 
We are the same 
(Always the same) 
Hold the weight 
(Hold the weight) 
Stay in the frame 
(Stay in the frame) 
Marrow and bone 
(Marrow and bone)

[Verse 3 - Clark Marrow] 
Clockwork pulse Under skin Where you end I begin Force the valve Push the flow No escape Nowhere to go (Nowhere to go) Iron grip Mercury sea Locked in Geometry

[Breakdown - Olphia Jane] 
[Synths strip back to a haunting drone] 
Wait for the rain 
(Wait for the rain) 
Wash the stain 
(Wash the stain) 
Purest white 
(Purest white) 
End of sight 
(End of sight) 
Oh Ah

[Build Up] 
[Rhythmic industrial percussion increases, snare rolls, rising synthesizer tension]

[The Drop] 
[Aggressive EBM lead synth melody, distorted bass, driving mechanical groove]

[Outro - Olphia Jane]
 Stay 
(Marrow)
 Stay 
(Bone) 
Always 
(Marrow) 
Home 
(Bone) 
The frame 
The same 
The frame 
The same 
(One) 
(One) 
(One)

[End]
