[Intro] [Clean Electric Guitar melody, subtle reverb] [Soft Bass Groove] [Verse 1] [Intimate Soulful Vocals] The wind is whispering a warning tonight I’m walking edges, chasing the light I’ve got these anchors, deep in the clay Keeping the shadows a lifetime away But if the rope breaks, where do I go? Into a hollow I don’t want to know. [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up with drum fills] (Don't let go) (Don't let the lines go slack) I'm staring at the mirror and the mirror's staring back. [Chorus] [Voice with some energy, but still restrained] I don’t want to lose my way! I don’t want to lose my self! If I drift too far from the heart of the star I’ll be the one who’s led astray! (Hold me down!) Before I break the things I love (Hold me down!) Before I’m someone I’m terrified of! [Verse 2] [Gritty Bluesy Vocals] I’ve seen the wreckage of men in the dark Who lost the rhythm, who lost the spark I’m scared of the damage these hands could do To myself, to the world, and most of all to you So keep the gravity heavy and real I need the friction, I need to feel. [Bridge] [Crescendo - High Power Vocals] [Soulful Grit] I'm screaming at the silence! (Don't let me fall!) I'm begging for the weight of it all! YEAH! OH! [High Pitched Gritty Scream] [Guitar Solo] [Extended Melodic and Technical Guitar Solo] [Starts slow and bluesy, then builds into fast legato and soulful bends] [Screaming Wah-wah effects] [Emotional Climax] [Chorus] [Max Energy] I don’t want to lose my way! I don’t want to lose my self! If I drift too far from the heart of the star I’ll be the one who’s led astray! (Hold me down!) Before I break the things I love (Hold me down!) Before I’m someone I’m terrified of! [Outro] [Slow down, return to clean guitar] [Vocal Ad-libs: Soulful humming] Just keep me steady... Don't let me drift away... (Keep the light on) (Keep the light on) [Fade out with a final melodic guitar lick]
