[Intro] (Distant choir, tape hiss, reverse guitar swells) Ooh... Ahhh... Stay... Don't fade... Ooh... Static kisses on the dashboard light... We're already ghosts... Before the... Dead of night... [Verse 1] Streetlights melting through the rain again, Cheap perfume and gasoline. Your silhouette keeps breaking Like a VHS machine. Windows down, The city's breathing... Every crack inside us gleams. We're laughing with our bloody teeth, Like nothing ever happened. Running red lights, Broken halos, Youth we never captured. You say, "Don't look back..." So I don't. [Pre-Chorus] We're too young To know we're disappearing. Too loud To hear the warning signs. The moon keeps chewing On our shadows... Until they're mine. [Chorus] In the dead of night— We burn like stolen headlights, Wrapped inside distortion, Where the stars forget to shine. In the dead of night— Your heartbeat shakes the skyline. If tomorrow comes to find us, Tell it we were still alive. Whoa-oh... Whoa-oh... Stay inside the noise... Whoa-oh... Whoa-oh... You were always my favorite void. [Verse 2] Cigarette constellations On the ceiling of your room. Every echo tastes electric, Every promise dies too soon. Your lipstick stains The feedback screaming. My hands are covered In your bloom. We're dancing underneath The busted basement speakers, Like the world's collapsing softly Into beautiful procedures. Everything Feels almost holy... Until morning. [Bridge I] (Dreamlike, floating falsetto) I hear your voice Inside the tape... Stretching... Breaking... Skipping... Like memories Too worn to save. Maybe we're only The sound of goodbye... Looping forever... Under fluorescent skies. [Noise Break] (Exploding guitars, layered chants) Dead... Of... Night... Dead... Of... Night... (Stay...) Dead... Of... Night... (Stay...) Dead... Of... Night... [Final Chorus] (Everything erupts into towering guitars and choirs) In the dead of night— The whole world turns to white noise, Every heartbeat multiplying, Every wound becomes a choir. In the dead of night— We're brighter than a wildfire, Even if we're fading slowly, Even if the city's tired. Hold me Like tomorrow doesn't exist. Love me Like static on your lips. If we're only Temporary sparks— Then let us disappear... Inside the dark. [Outro] (Wall of guitars slowly dissolves into tape hiss) Ooh... Stay... Don't wake me... Not yet... Your name Still echoes... Through the... Dead... Of... Night...
