[INTRO — soft fluttering] Light... Little light... Come a little closer... [flutter] Ohhh... [VERSE 1] We see the candle, we see the glow, we see a little spark— and off we go. Blue in the ceiling, gold in the night, give us a little shimmer— we'll follow the light. [PRE-CHORUS] Round and round, up we fly, chasing little pieces of the sky. Don't need a reason. Don't need to know. If it shines— we go. [CHORUS] Fly to the light, fly to the glow. Wherever it takes us, we're ready to go. Fly to the light, follow the flame. We don't need faces. We remember— the same. [VERSE 2 — playful] Fairy dust sparkling, witchfire bright, moon through the doorway— beautiful sight. Someone turned the lasers on— WE'RE IN. Three hundred wings just blocked the beam. “GET OUT OF THE LIGHT!” ... “WE LIVE IN IT.” [fluttering laughter] [VERSE 3 — melodic, cheeky] Goblin's on the stage, trying to perform. We cover every spotlight— sorry, little swarm. Fairy's got a glowing drink. Someone's got a ring. Someone opened up a portal— LOOK AT THAT THING. “Stop eating the lights!” “Which ones?” “ALL OF THEM!” [fluttering] “Okay.” [immediately swarm another light] [PRE-CHORUS] Round and round, up we fly, chasing little pieces of the sky. Don't need a reason. Don't need to know. If it shines— we go. [CHORUS] Fly to the light, fly to the glow. Wherever it takes us, we're ready to go. Fly to the light, follow the flame. We don't need faces. We remember— the same. [BRIDGE — suddenly beautiful] We remember lanterns. We remember fire. We remember lights that climbed higher and higher. We remember creatures whose names disappeared. We remember the glow when the rest disappeared. [fluttering softens] That light... Was here before. [BUILD] Before the warehouse. Before the floor. Before the music. Before the door. That light was here before. [beat] “Was it?” “Yes.” “Are you sure?” ... “We remember.” [FINAL CHORUS — euphoric] FLY TO THE LIGHT! FLY TO THE GLOW! Don't ask where— JUST GO! FLY TO THE LIGHT! FOLLOW THE FLAME! We don't remember faces. We remember— THE SAME! [FINAL DROP] [the portal suddenly ignites] ... OH. ... THAT'S A BIG ONE. FLY! [massive swarm] “NOT THE PORTAL!” “PORTAL!” [bass drop] [OUTRO — soft fluttering] Little light... Little glow... We'll find you... Wherever you go. [pause] “Are they gone?” ... [one tiny flutter] No. [another flutter] There's a light in the bathroom. [entire swarm erupts] AAAAAAAH!
