It’s the story of a heart drawn to something radiant and wild, only to be unmade in the instant it could be touched. [Intro] I, I. I, I. I, I need I, I need [Verse 1] Lantern song, soft as wings on the wind. Something to chase what I couldn’t defend, The hush of her glow found me alone, And lured me deep into (the unknown). She shimmered where fields forget their names, Across dusk split skies cast upon windowpanes. I moved out of faith, a prayer a dream might reclaim, Drawn toward her brilliance (flickering flame). [Chorus] Give me stomp, give me clap, give me gospel pain— A chrome kiss like an oncoming train. She wore steel like silk, and I chased that sin, Last thing through my mind, her chrome kiss as the (light drove in). [Hook] Chrome kiss, it looked like heaven— (But it hit like hell) Chrome kiss, stole what I was (Left just a shell) [Verse 2] She flashed like meaning in a meaningless place, A halo caught in a grille’s embrace. I mistook her shine for saving grace, But it was hunger beneath a polished face. And I. I was just a flight, a fragile thing, A flicker, drawn to her reckoning. She didn’t slow—just radiance and blur, And I hit her chrome (left like a drunk with a slur). [Bridge] Let the steel be praised in her name again, Let my spark be dust on a highway bend. I mistook her warmth for the mercy of flame, Now I burn where no one (remembers my name). [Chorus] Give me stomp, give me clap, give me gospel pain— A chrome kiss like an oncoming train. She wore steel like silk, and I chased that sin. Last thing through my mind, her chrome kiss as the (light drove in). [Hook] Chrome kiss, it looked like heaven— (But it hit like hell) Chrome kiss, stole what I was (Left just a shell) [Outro: fading acoustic riff, distant choir, one final vocal echo] Americana soul, country-pop cry, gospel blues born from a chrome goodbye. ‘Cause I kissed her light with wings too thin. (Chrome... kiss... again) [fade to end]
