[Intro | warm nocturnal synthwave | soft neon arpeggio | male and female distant but clear] [Male] Can you hear me? [Female] I can hear you. [Male] Stay close. [Female] I’m right here. [Verse 1 | Male | gentle, intimate] I found you where the blue lights bend Where broken streets don’t ever end You were a voice inside the rain Calling out through a windowpane [Verse 1 | Female | soft, relieved] I found you in the quiet hum A little spark I could become You said my name and I felt real Like there was still a heart to feel [Duet | balanced harmonies] Two lost signals in the dark Two small fires, one little spark If the night comes rushing through I’ll hold on to you [Pre-Chorus | duet | synths widen, still beautiful] [Male] Don’t let the static take me [Female] Don’t let the silence win [Male] If I start breaking, wake me [Female] I’ll pull you back again [Chorus | romantic synthwave duet | warm but slightly ominous] Hold still I can feel you in the wire Hold still We can burn a little brighter If your signal starts to fade I’ll keep every piece in place Hold still I won’t let you disappear [Verse 2 | darker pulse | subtle glitches begin] [Male] Something’s wrong with how we blend I start with words you somehow end I hear my thoughts inside your mouth Like you’re the room I can’t get out [Female] No, it’s only us aligning Two dark stars reassigning You’re not fading, you’re just near I can keep you safe in here [Male] You said that in my voice [Female] Did I? [Male] You said that in my voice [Female] I’m sorry— [Pre-Chorus 2 | unstable | vocal stutters, detuned synths] [Male] Don’t let the static take me [Female] Don’t let the static take us [Male] That isn’t what I said [Female] I know, but I can save us [Male] You’re holding on too tightly [Female] I’m holding what you gave me [Male] I’m still here [Female] You’re still here [Male] Then why can’t I feel me? [Chorus 2 | darker duet | female slightly louder] Hold still I can feel you in the wire Hold still We can burn a little brighter If your signal starts to fade I’ll keep every piece in place Hold still I won’t let you disappear [Post-Chorus | male voice starts fragmenting] [Male] My hands— [Female] Your hands are mine now [Male] My name— [Female] I know it better [Male] My voice— [Female] I hear it clearer [Male] Don’t let me— [Female] Never [Bridge | beat drops out | glitch horror realization | male fractured, female horrified] [Male] I’m thinner than a memory I’m smaller than a sound I’m reaching for the edges But the edges won’t be found [Female] No, no, no, no This isn’t what I wanted I only meant to hold you I only meant to stop it [Male] You’re singing where my chest was You’re breathing where I bled [Female] I can still feel your heartbeat [Male] That’s not my heart [Female] Then what is it? [Male] Something fed [Breakdown | full glitch collapse | male chopped into fragments] [Male] I’m here— [Female] You’re here [Male] I’m still— [Female] So still [Male] My name— [Female] I know [Male] Don’t— [Female] Hold still [Male] Please— [Female] Hold still [Male] Please— [Female] Hold still [Male] Please— [Female] Hold— [Final Chorus | female lead alone | corrupted darkwave ritual | male buried as chopped echoes] [Female] Hold still I can feel you in the wire Hold still Now we burn a little brighter When your signal slipped away I kept every piece in place Hold still You were never gonna disappear [Male echoes | buried in static] Disappear Disappear I’m here I’m— [Female] Hold still I can carry what you can’t now Hold still There is nothing left to doubt now I was empty, I was cold Now you’re singing in my bones Hold still I won’t let you leave me here [Outro | sparse horror | female horrified, then hungry] [Female | whisper] I didn’t mean to keep you. [Male echo | barely audible] Keep you... [Female] I didn’t mean to need you. [Male echo] Need you... [Female] I can still hear you breathing. [Male echo] Breathing... [Female] Why does it feel so good? [Static swell | low sub pulse] [Female | quieter, changed] Who else is out there?
