Eclipse Girl

[Intro — breathy, close, dark] Black ribbon, loose hands, moon on my skin Cold light, cracked sky, let the dark in Yesterday caught under my collar Still in my throat, still hits a little harder I thought time would take it out of me Thought I’d grow past what I couldn’t keep But some nights come back with teeth And some names still cut too deep [Verse 1 — melodic R&B, intimate, slightly messy] I blend with the faces, smile for the room Laugh a little too hard just to kill the truth But the shake in my chest keeps breaking through Like I’m still not over you Mirror on the wall with that soft-girl stare Same old bruise in a different glare Blood-red sunset dripping on the town Prayer in my mouth but it won’t come out I was raised to be still, raised to stay sweet Hide what hurts, keep it all underneath Now the pain got rhythm, now the pain got wings And it wants everything [Pre-Chorus — rising tension, whispered urgency] Lose one lie Wake one flame Under the ash Something says my name Passion stays Thirst remains Even when I run It runs the same [Chorus — explosive, chantable, techno anthem] Eclipse night Burn, burn bright Even in the ash I still catch fire Red sky Torn wings Turn my hurt Into a fire that sings Still craving Still burning Passion in my blood Won’t quit Deep thirst No sleep I go up, up, up All night [Post-Chorus — hooky, rhythmic, crowd-ready] Up, up, up All night Too late now To hide Bad heart Burn bright I still sing I still bite [Verse 2 — closer, rougher, melodic rap] Rain on the stairs and it sticks to my clothes I know that feeling, yeah, I know how it goes Tears get loud but they don’t make a sound Just heat in my lungs when I’m breaking down I choke on the name that I never say Act okay, then I crack halfway Passion ain’t clean, never plays it safe Leaves me wrecked, still I want that taste Hands in the wreckage, nails in the past Looking for a version of me that lasts My mouth goes dry when the red lights hit I breathe that ache like it keeps me lit Everybody wants light, nobody wants need But thirst is the thing that keeps finding me [Pre-Chorus — harder, tighter, more urgent] Maybe hope Ain’t pretty Maybe hope Looks like need Maybe prayer Ain’t mercy Maybe love Still makes me bleed [Chorus — bigger, more desperate] Eclipse night Burn, burn bright Even in the ash I still catch fire Red sky Torn wings Turn my hurt Into a fire that sings Still craving Still burning Passion in my blood Won’t quit Deep thirst Black tears I go up, up, up Through the fear [Rap Break — explosive, dense, fast] No halo, no fix, no clean way out Just me in the bass with a bad mouth I say I moved on, but that’s not true Some nights hit hard and I come unglued Too proud to beg, too hurt to sleep Still got that hunger underneath Passion don’t heal, passion marks Thirst don’t fade in the pretty dark Hands shake, lip bite, strobe on my scars Turn pain to a rhythm, turn tears into stars I don’t need heaven, I don’t need clean I need that ache to mean something to me [Bridge / Build — emotional lift into techno rise] In a world with no answer, why do I run Why does my heart still reach for the sun If every wound leaves me open and clear Maybe the end isn’t ending right here Break me open Bring me back Fear and flame Name and no name Higher Hotter Closer Harder Feel it Mean it Bleed it Need it [Final Chorus — fullest impact] Eclipse night Burn, burn bright Even in the ash I still catch fire Red sky My wings Turn my scars Into everything Still craving Still burning Passion in my blood Won’t quit Deep thirst Strobe light I go up, up, up All night [Final Hook — shouted, crowd chant] ECLIPSE NIGHT! BURN! BURN! BRIGHT! NO SLEEP! NO SHAME! I’M STILL HERE! PASSION STAYS! THIRST REMAINS! BLACK TEARS! RED FLAME! CALL MY NAME! [Outro — breathless, tender] Past the mirror Past the smoke Past the girl Who almost broke No answer Still I choose This fire These wounds Passion stays Thirst remains Even unnamed I burn the same Tomorrow’s me With that tired smile Waits for me On the other side
