[Verse 1] City lights on my skin, feel the night pour in slow Every breath that I take, I can feel that underflow Shadows dance on the wall, like they’re moving to the beat Got a fire in my chest, and it’s burning low and sweet [Pre-Chorus] Let the rhythm pull me under, let it carry all this weight Hear the thunder in the distance, like a promise not too late In the silence of the echo, where the lonely voices hide I can feel a deeper current pulling me to the other side [Chorus] I’m drifting in this midnight ember groove Heavy like the smoke, but I still move Deep in the dark where the heart stays true Slow-burning blues in a violet hue Hold me in the bass when I fall through I’m drifting in this midnight ember groove [Verse 2] Every note from your strings cuts a ribbon through the haze Like a whisper in my ear, pulling back the broken days Got my hands in the air, letting all my secrets fall In the echo of the snare, I don’t feel alone at all [Pre-Chorus] Let the rhythm pull me under, let it carry all this pain Hear the storm along the skyline, washing out the old refrain In the tremble of the low end, where my hidden sorrows stay I can feel a rising sunrise humming underneath the gray [Chorus] I’m drifting in this midnight ember groove Heavy like the smoke, but I still move Deep in the dark where the heart stays true Slow-burning blues in a violet hue Hold me in the bass when I fall through I’m drifting in this midnight ember groove [Bridge] (Yeah) sinking slow but I don’t mind Got that shiver running up my spine Every kick drum like a heartbeat sign Telling me I’m still alive tonight (Oh) in the glow of the neon sky I can hear every tear I cried Turn to gold in the reverb tide I let the wave take me for a ride [Chorus] I’m drifting in this midnight ember groove Heavy like the smoke, but I still move Deep in the dark where the heart stays true Slow-burning blues in a violet hue Hold me in the bass when I fall through I’m drifting in this midnight ember groove [Outro] Slow-burning blues in a violet hue I’m drifting in this midnight ember groove Hold me in the bass when I fall through Till the morning light cuts the smoke in two
