[Intro: overdriven bass pulse, vintage guitar feedback, sharp rhythmic guitar accents] [Verse 1: rapid rhythmic baritone, close-mic sensual delivery] You came through the curtains with daylight at your back, put your hand on my heartbeat like you knew what it lacked. I should've seen the shadow sliding into place, but I've always had a weakness for the dark around your face. [Pre-Chorus: breathless vocal build, driving bassline, plate reverb swells] Come closer. Don't speak. Let the whole damn world drop out beneath our feet. [Chorus: explosive dark glam rock, layered male vocal harmonies] THIS IS THE ECLIPSE OF US, your body between me and the sun. No morning coming after this, no place left to run. Let the heavens lose their colour, let the daylight turn to dust. If loving you means losing light, then let it go dark. Let it go dark for us. [Post-Chorus: wordless male vocal refrain - "Whoa-oh-oh, let it go dark"] [Verse 2: rapid rhythmic delivery, gritty guitar chops, swaggering groove] There's a mark beneath your collar that I know I didn't make. There's a shake in your breathing every time you say my name. You ask me what forever means. I tell you, "Don't ask me tonight." Some promises sound beautiful until you let them breathe. [Pre-Chorus: breathless vocal build, sharp guitar accents] Come closer. Don't look down. There's nothing left beneath us but the shadow we're in now. [Chorus: explosive dark glam rock, full layered male vocal stack] THIS IS THE ECLIPSE OF US, your body between me and the sun. No morning coming after this, no place left to run. Let the heavens lose their colour, let the daylight turn to dust. If loving you means losing light, then let it go dark. Let it go dark for us. [Post-Chorus: wordless male vocal refrain - "Whoa-oh-oh, let it go dark"] [Bridge: stripped back, breathy close-mic baritone, bare driving bassline] We keep folding into midnight like we built it on purpose. Two fingerprints on the window, one slow bruise on the moon. Leave the locks alone. Leave the kitchen light off. If we stay here one more minute, we're gone or gone too far. [Instrumental Build: pounding drums, swelling guitar feedback, driving bass] [Final Chorus: explosive theatrical rock, unhinged lead baritone, maximum volume] THIS IS THE ECLIPSE OF US, two shadows swallowing the sun. You wanted something permanent. Look what we've become. Let the heavens lose their colour. Let every star forget us. If this is what forever costs, LET IT GO DARK. LET IT GO DARK. LET IT GO DARK FOR US. [Outro: wordless vocal refrain, feedback ring out, trailing bass pulse, sudden tape-stop cut]
