STUDIO

[INTRO] A thought moved inside the dark (ooh...) A thought moved inside the dark (ooh...) A thought moved inside the dark (ooh...) [VERSE] Midnight opened like a door I heard a thought I’d heard before Not in the room, not in the light A waking fire crossed the night I held the page against my chest And gave the restless pulse a name (gave it a name...) [PRE‑CHORUS] Don’t tell me what I cannot make Don’t tell the dark what shape to take A little fire behind my eyes A little thunder learning why [CHORUS] Night spark, come alive (come alive!) Little lightning in my mind Night spark, don’t go dark (don’t go dark...) I feel the current under skin I hear the pulse begin to rise Night spark, come alive I will give the dark a voice (come alive...) [VERSE 2] They said imagination lies I watched the vision open wide A shadow crossed the candle flame And every shadow spoke my name I did not wait for dawn to come I wrote until the fear was gone [BRIDGE] I was not waiting for permission I was listening The night was a loaded glass waiting to shatter And I was the hand on the stone (Stay...) (Stay...) [FINAL CHORUS] Night spark, come alive (come alive!) Little lightning in my mind Night spark, burn bright (burn bright) Turn the silence into life If the dark can frame a flame Then I can force it, speak my name I forced the dark to speak (come alive! ahhh) [ HARD STOP]
