"Thirst" (v.2)

Verse 1

(only main vocals, piano, bass, light brush strokes. There are no backing vocals.)
You’re born and start to learn the ways,
You crave to know more every day,
Not seeing how this thirst can harm,
The more you know, the more it’s dark and strange…

Chorus 1
(Backing vocals enter with layered vibrato,the backing vocalists join in with a soft, "echo‑like" vibrato (singing in thirds). The guitar adds blues phrases.)
Gathering crumbs of knowledge, day by day,
We understand ourselves less, oh, that’s the way…
You think you’ve got it, you’re about to see,
But no, it only gets worse, can’t you see?

Verse 2

(minimalism persists. There are no backing vocals.)
When we, poor souls, thought we’d finally found
All answers — we know nothing, that’s profound.
Nothing at all, hear me, nothing’s clear,
No answers here, my friend, no answers here…

Chorus 2
(the backing vocals become denser, voices are added to the fifth. The emotion grows.)
Chasing the world’s secrets, night and day,
In one quick moment, you could lose your way.
You know it all, but what you’ve learned, my friend,
Won’t fit your life — it’s just a dead‑end trend…

Bridge
(only the main voice (whisper/half-whisper). The complete silence of the instruments on the phrase "you won't take knowledge...".)
But hear me now, remember, human soul,
Don’t make this thirst your only goal.
And when you leave this life one day,
You won’t take knowledge with you, anyway…

Final Chorus
(all voices, powerful vibrato, full harmony. The drums play more actively, the saxophone leads the counterpoint.)
So live and savor every breath you take,
That’s why you’re born, for goodness’ sake…
Live and savor, don’t you hesitate,
That’s why you’re born — it’s your own fate…

(Outro:gradual fading. The last notes of the backing vocals (a long unison with vibrato) dissolve into reverberation along with the guitar and saxophone.)
