Stay and Breathe (Fox and Naoki Collab)

no_apologiesI got a female vocal on Suno that sounds similar to my singing voice. So my own avatar character, "Fox", is now her own persona now! In other words, my newest persona is a self-insert.
The next chapter in this new story lore that features my new favorite to the roster, Naoki Kashima, is going to be her first collab. This should be really interesting and cool, toned down.
(Mood: Atmospheric. Introspective. Guarded. Conversations. Fox needs to have an important talk with Naoki. Genre: Melodic Alternative Emo Rock and Trip-Hop fusion. Minor key. Vocalists: A gritty, mid-range male teen voice (16-year-old Naoki) and a soft, vulnerable, soulful, yet firm female alto (Fox). [Music Influence: Deftones meets Crosses (†††) with clean Strata-style guitars.] Technicals: Heavy bass, rhythmic turntable scratches, haunting synth pads, no screaming, clean melodic delivery.)
[Intro instrumental - Slow, hypnotic trip-hop beat kicks in. Atmospheric. A faint, rhythmic turntable scratch mimics the sound of a heartbeat.]
[NAOKI:]

T-
T-Tell me why...
Tell me why...
[Verse 1][NAOKI:]
I’m scouting for landmarks, but the walls keep shifting.
In this quiet air, I feel my focus drifting.
There’s no smell of sulfur! No familiar warped sky.
But I’m waiting for the floor to give way! Tell me why...
I’m a weapon in a garden, out of place, out of time,
Looking for a mountain that I don't have to climb.
You’re walking so easyyyy,
Like shadows without teeth,
As I feel something waitinnnng...!
Just underneath.
[Verse 2][FOX:]
Stop looking for the cracks and look at me.
The ghosts of past and present are all you see.
Back where you're from, silence was a trap, a bated breath,
A countdown ticking close to the heels of death.
But over here, this silence brings solace,
A peaceful place for retreat and rest.
You won't need to be my shield,
At least not during every hour!
Even storms need their space,
To clear and lose their power!
[Chorus]
[FOX:] Just stay and breathe in this space, this silence.
[NOAKI:] ...Still hearing echoes of fear and violence.
[FOX:] You can trust this ground. You can trust this ground. It won't break, it won't break, it won't break...
[NOAKI:] How much of this peace is real? How much is it faaaaake...?
Stay with me and breathe. I need you to trust me more.
I know it's unlike anywhere you've ever been before.
[FOX:] There's plenty of good company. We're not alone.
Someday-day, someday, maybe for you, this will be a new home...
[Verse 3][NAOKI:]
I hear you tellin' me it's safe,
But over here, it's too bright.
I've spent a damn lot of time,
Learning how to see in the night.
This Xel'lotath, she's one who kept you away.
If she's a threat here, then why do you stay?
Tell me the rules. Explain how I'm to fight this ghost...
What is an ELDRITCH exactly?!?
I need to learn about this enemy!
Why does she come around anyway?!?
Are you her favorite in plaaaaaay?
Why does she let you live todaaaay...?
[FOX:]
Don't worry too much about it...
Try to learn to relax a bit...
There's more I'll need to say.
Let's keep the worries at bay.
Information overload,
That's not ever the way to go.
I know you're worried about what Fritz said,
But we can't let craziness get to our heads!
[Chorus]
[FOX:] Just, just, just, just, just stay and breeeeathe in this spaaaace.
This silence!
[NAOKI:] Still hearing echoes of fear and violence... Still here, I'm still hearing echoes of fear and violence...
[FOX:]
You can trust this ground! It won't break... It won't break.
You can trust this ground. It won't break.
You can trust this ground. It won't break
[NAOKI:] How much of this peace is real? How much is it faaaaaaake?!?
[FOX:] Stay with me and breathe. I need you to trust me more.
I know it's unlike anywhere you've ever been before.
There's plenty of good company. We're not alone.
Someday! Maybe for yooooou, this will be a new hommmmme...
[Outro, spoken][NOAKI:]
"I don't remember what that word 'home' feels like... Whether it's a place, or anyone constant enough to care about..."
[spoken][FOX:]
"I think you will, one day... I know there's a lot for you to adjust to... Don't worry... I'll do what I can to help."
[singing]
You won't fail, as long as you pause to breathe.
Are you ready to once more walk with meeeee?
To walk some more with meeeeee...?
[Outro, singing, Naoki's thoughts]
(Close, two steps, two steps behind.)
(Mine to still protect.)
(This precious, fragile girl...)
(Fragile girl, fragile girl...)
(A remnant from Old World...)
