Floodlight (version 2)

Verse

Streetlights bleed into the haze

Every block a different phase

Hands up catching what's about to fall

Nobody here remembers it all

Bassline climbing through my ribs

Smoke machines turn the whole street white

Feet on concrete, hearts off track

Floodlight washing out the black

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising slow?

Something old beneath our glow

Chorus

Floodlight, floodlight, wash it all away

Let the static chase the dark of day

Floodlight, floodlight, let it take the floor

We've been waiting for the night before

Verse 2

Tarmac warm and amber bright

Every window broken into light

Sirens distant in the haze we made

Nobody's counting who they're not afraid

Rooftops catching what the dark can't hold

Bassline climbing up through stone to gold

Feet still moving long past reason's call

Something rising from beneath it all

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising slow?

Something old beneath our glow

Chorus

Floodlight, floodlight, wash it all away

Let the static chase the dark of day

Floodlight, floodlight, let it take the floor

We've been waiting for the night before

Bridge

Maybe this is where we learn to fly

Barely breathing through the gold-toned sky

No more shadows, nothing left to hide

Only pulse and current pulling wide

Chorus

Floodlight, floodlight, wash it all away

Let the static chase the dark of day

Floodlight, floodlight, let it take the floor

We've been waiting for the night before
