[Verse 1 – Male Lead, low & dangerous] Oh remember the nights, we’d plot and we’d grind, We took the first step, left the easy behind. A trailer hitched with tattered truth crammed in the gloom, You sketched the blueprints, I built the room. “Gotta find a way,” you whispered in the flame, Circuit-breaker mind, rewiring every claim. They tried to short-circuit us, mark us as a mess, But we held the frequency gave them less and less. [Melody Change] [Bridge – Female, whispered, eerie flair] Nights… we plotted, nice and dark, a dangerous duo. Shadow work… no spotlight it all comes due, you know. [Melody Change] [Pre-Chorus – Dual voice, rising] We stood on the brink of the blackness, staring down the loss, Your internal map paid our entire cost. I said, “hun, this feels like the end,” your voice cut the sky “It’s the right way for us to learn how to fly.” [Melody Change] [Chorus – Explosive, both voices layered] We wrapped the pulse, the beacon we made, Through the darkness, the dark, the dark we never have swayed. We agree, yeah we agree, a final cut! Two standouts against the tide, a pure revolution! [Melody Change] Male: “you know, you know.” Female: “oh you know.” [Instrumental Break – glitchy cabaret piano, analog hum] [hook] Your internal map paid our entire cost. [Refrain 1 – Minimal, whispered cadence] Pulse. Pulse. Beacon Pulse. Circuit. Circuit. Loss. Pulse. Pulse. Beacon Pulse. Circuit. Circuit. Act. [Melody Change] [Verse 2 – Female Lead, sharper energy] A westward wind pulls us on past where the seeds were sown, Potholes shake us, but the truth is shown. You turned to icon, a ray through the gloom, While they pushed old résumés in a dusty back room. [hook] Your internal map paid our entire cost. We hunted solutions the logic they lacked, Nice, nice, nice, nice the way we’d always act. They called us blind, claimed we took the poison pill, But vision cleared in the strike— so clear, clear, clear. [Melody Change] Male: “you know, you know.” Female: “oh you know.” [Bridge 2 – Half-time, echoing dialogue] I’m shedding all I’ve known, past lifted from my skin, Ghosts erased, new circuits within. No need to hire, no cast to prep, We were our own spark, our very first step. Figures in the gloom, two silhouettes in the dark, Our loyalty equal, leaving a permanent mark. [Melody Change] [Hook 2 – Full force return] We wrap the pulse, the beacon we made, Through the darkness, the dark, the dark we never have swayed. We agree, yeah— we agree, a final cut! Two standouts against the tide, a pure revolution! [Instrumental Break – distorted piano + bass swell] [hook] Your internal map paid our entire cost. [Refrain 2 – Vocal chops, brighter synth key] Pulse. Pulse. Beacon Pulse. Circuit. Circuit. Loss. Pulse. Pulse. Beacon Pulse. Circuit. Circuit. Act. Slam! (brief silence) [Melody Change] Male: “you know, you know.” Female: “oh yeah, I know.” [hook] Your internal map paid our entire cost. From the dark to the bright, we kept our design, Two sparks in the storm, forever aligned. The beacon keeps pulsing, we follow the sign— The light isn’t found, it’s something we define. [hook] Your internal map paid our entire cost. Male: “you know, you know.” Female: “oh yes i know.” Male: “you know, you know.” Female: “oh I know.” [Outro – deep bass, slow motion fade] [end]
