[Intro] When the light lines up… Watch what disappears. [Verse 1] I used to pray for a sky that knew my name For a chance to burn without feeling shame Now I’m living in the halo of a thousand screams And I can’t tell the difference between truth and a dream Every camera wants a piece of my face Every hand wants a reason, a place But the closer they get, the less they see Like I’m a star made of secrecy [Pre-Chorus] If you stare too long, you’ll start to doubt Is it light… or just a blackout? You want the shine, you want the story But shadows have their own kind of glory [Chorus] That’s the eclipse theory Love me when I’m bright, love me when I’m gone Hold me in the silence, hold me in the song If the world turns heavy, if the crowd gets cruel I’ll still be moving like a cosmic rule That’s the eclipse theory Sometimes the light has to disappear So something real can reappear That’s the eclipse theory [Verse 2] I can change my shape like the moon changes skin I can make you want me and still never let you in They call it confidence, call it sin But I’m just trying to live in the space I’m in I’m tired of being brave in a costume crown Tired of swallowing fear just to keep it down If I tell you the truth, will you turn away? Or will you love the night the same as the day? [Pre-Chorus] We’re orbiting a secret, spinning out of view Trying to look fearless like we don’t feel it too But I’ve seen the dark, and I’ve seen the sun And the night doesn’t mean you’ve lost anyone [Chorus] That’s the eclipse theory Love me when I’m bright, love me when I’m gone Hold me in the silence, hold me in the song If the world turns heavy, if the crowd gets cruel I’ll still be moving like a cosmic rule That’s the eclipse theory Sometimes the light has to disappear So something real can reappear That’s the eclipse theory [Bridge] If I vanish, promise you won’t call it a lie If I tremble, promise you won’t ask me why If I change, promise you won’t choose a side All: If we break the sky, promise you’ll let us survive (build begins—pulsing drums, rising synths) We were never meant to be a single frame We were always more than a borrowed name If the truth is gravity pulling at our seams We’ll still dance— We’ll still dream [Final Chorus] That’s the eclipse theory Love me when I’m bright, love me when I’m gone Hold me in the silence, hold me in the song If the world turns heavy, if the crowd gets cruel I’ll still be moving like a cosmic rule That’s the eclipse theory Sometimes the light has to disappear So something real can reappear That’s the eclipse theory [Outro] When the light comes back… Don’t ask what it hid. Just look.
