# **“MOVE ALONG”** **[Intro — distant synth, low heartbeat pulse]** The street is empty. The hour is late. You should go home. **[Verse 1]** I know why you're standing here, I know what you're waiting for. But he's not the man Who walked through that door. The night changed him. You can't change that. So turn around now… Don't make me ask. **[Chorus]** Move along. Don't force my hand. There's still time To understand. Killing you Was never the plan. So let go of him… While you still can. **[Verse 2]** He's sleeping now, Beneath the ground, Safe from the morning, Safe from you. You think you know him. You knew the light. You don't know What he is tonight. **[Chorus]** Move along. Don't force my hand. There's still time To understand. I don't want your blood Upon my hands. So let go of him… While you still can. **[Instrumental — long, atmospheric synth passage]** **[Bridge — almost whispered]** I've buried men For lesser things. I've watched the night Take everything. Don't make me choose Between mercy… And what I was made to do. **[Final Chorus — restrained]** Move along. Let the darkness be. He's not coming back To who he used to be. I won't chase you. I won't make you run. Just let go of him… And no one dies tonight. **[Outro — synth fading]** Go home. The sun will find you there. Let him go.
