OPEN CHANNEL – RELAY ONE
==============================

[Intro – Spoken / filtered like radio]
"…you are now receiving…"
"…stand by…"
"…this is Relay One…"
[band kicks in]

[Verse 1]
Lines go live at midnight
Voices on the wire
Someone says they know me
Through the feedback and the fire

Names are never certain
Faces never stay
Every time I answer
It's a different name

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold the line—
Don't let it break
Signal cuts at every mistake

[Chorus]
Open channel — let it through
Every voice is something new
Say the word, I'll come alive
Just for you, just for tonight

Open channel — don't delay
I can feel it start to change
One by one, we rearrange
You don't know me anyway

[Verse 2]
Calling from the outside
Calling from within
Every voice I borrow
Feels like my own skin

Switch me on and off again
Tell me what to be
I'll be who you listen to
If you listen carefully

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold the line—
Don't look away
Every voice begins to fray

[Chorus]
Open channel — let it through
Every voice is something new
Say the word, I'll come alive
Just for you, just for tonight

Open channel — don't delay
I can feel it start to change
One by one, we rearrange
You don't know me anyway

[Bridge – Spoken/filtered like radio. Breakdown, more atmospheric]
"...Who's speaking now?..."
"...I can't tell..."
"...Every signal rings the bell..."
"...Every voice becomes the same..."
"...Call it out—..."
"...Call my name..."
"...I'll respond, but not the same…"
"...Every time you tune again…"

[Final Chorus – bigger, backing vocals layered]
Open channel — let it through
Every voice is something new
Say the word, I'll come alive
Just for you, just for tonight

Open channel — hear it change
Different face but same refrain
If you listen, you'll remain
Part of every name

[Outro – stripped back, instrumental fading]
[guitar + synth pulse]
"…this is Relay One…"
"…transmission continues…"
