[Intro - instrumental only, distant clean guitar, deep atmospheric synth, slow restrained drums, no vocal samples] [Verse 1 - soft intimate female vocals] I watch a million distant lights Burn quietly across the dark Close enough to know they're there Too far away to leave a mark Nothing here was made for touching Nothing stays when it gets near Every orbit bends toward me Every beautiful thing disappears I don't call I don't chase I don't need to make a sound Everything that comes to know me Eventually comes falling down [Pre-Chorus - fragile female vocals, slowly building] So stay where I can see you Stay exactly where you are I never learned to hold somebody Without pulling them apart [Chorus - large emotional female clean vocals] Stay beyond my event horizon Love me somewhere out of reach Every step you take toward me Takes you somewhere I can't reach I don't want another ending I don't want another scar So keep shining where I see you I'd rather miss you Than destroy another star [Verse 2 - rhythmic emotional female rap, tension rising] YOU THINK I'M PUSHING YOU AWAY BECAUSE I NEVER WANTED YOU AROUND BUT YOU DON'T FEEL THE SPACE DISTORTING YOU DON'T HEAR THE WARNING SOUND YOU SEE DISTANCE AS A CHOICE LIKE I COULD CLOSE IT IF I TRIED BUT THERE'S A POINT YOU CANNOT CROSS AND EVER MAKE IT BACK OUTSIDE I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT I'VE WATCHED IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME FIRST YOU BEND THEN YOU FALL THEN EVEN LIGHT GETS LEFT BEHIND SO CALL ME COLD CALL ME EMPTY CALL ME ANYTHING YOU NEED JUST DON'T MISTAKE ME LETTING GO FOR WANTING YOU TO LEAVE [Chorus - stronger emotional vocals, distorted guitars entering] Stay beyond my event horizon Love me somewhere out of reach Every step you take toward me Takes you somewhere I can't reach I don't want another ending I don't want another scar So keep shining where I see you I'd rather miss you Than destroy another star [Instrumental Rise - heavy guitars slowly building beneath dark synths, drums accelerating] [Verse 3 - fast emotional female shout-rap, increasingly desperate] STOP DON'T TAKE ANOTHER FUCKING STEP YOU THINK THAT LOVE MEANS GETTING CLOSER I'M TELLING YOU THAT LOVE MEANS SOMETIMES KNOWING WHEN THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE HERE I'M NOT FUCKING ASKING YOU TO LEAVE I'M ASKING YOU TO LIVE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE AND IT'S KILLING ME THAT DISTANCE IS THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO GIVE YOU WANNA REACH ME YOU WANNA SHOW ME NOTHING HAS TO END THE SAME BUT GRAVITY DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK HOW BADLY I WANT THINGS TO CHANGE I CAN'T PROMISE I'LL BE GENTLE I CAN'T TURN THIS PULLING OFF I CAN'T CATCH YOU WHEN YOU'RE FALLING WITHOUT BEING WHAT YOU'RE FALLING TOWARD SO HATE ME FROM A DISTANCE CURSE MY NAME ACROSS THE DARK JUST PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME WATCH YOU BECOME ANOTHER FUCKING STAR I PULLED APART [Breakdown - crushing slow guitars, raw sustained female shouts] STAY BACK STAY BRIGHT STAY WHOLE STAY ALIVE [brief silence] Please. [Bridge - fragile clean female vocals, instrumentation collapsing to guitar and synth] Maybe in another universe I could let you come this near Maybe I could hold your light Without making it disappear Maybe I'd know what it feels like To have something choose to stay But in this one I love you enough To keep you far away [Final Chorus - huge emotional female vocals, soaring guitars and dark synths] Stay beyond my event horizon Love me somewhere out of reach Let me watch you burn forever Somewhere gravity can't reach I don't need another ending I don't need another scar Just keep shining where I see you I'd rather miss you Than destroy another star Stay beyond my event horizon Be the light I cannot hold I will know that you were shining Long after everything goes cold [Outro - drums disappear, guitars fade to one distant clean melody, deep synth remains] [soft female vocals] Stay beyond my event horizon Stay whole Stay bright Stay far [long instrumental fade]
