Before the Sky Breaks Open (version 3)

Verse

Neon ticks where the shutters wait

Clock behind the booth says we're running late

Glass goes gold at the edge of the floor

Nobody's reaching for the door

Bass keeps low like it's holding its breath

Every hand in the dark says not yet

Grip the rail, count the beat, hold the frame

Chase the drop till the colors go the same

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through the crowd

Air gone thin, the room breathes loud

Hold the pulse before it's gone

Stretch the dark till the count runs on

Chorus

Hold the night, before the sky breaks open

Hold the night, before the sky breaks open

Verse

Strangers lock like the last two notes

Sweat and static, a hundred throats

Someone's counting the beams of light

Bleeding in through the back of the night

Bassline drags like it don't want to end

Every stranger becomes a friend

Hands stay raised while the walls turn thin

This is the hour we won't give in

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing through the crowd

Air gone thin, the room breathes loud

Hold the pulse before it's gone

Stretch the dark till the count runs on

Chorus

Hold the night, before the sky breaks open

Hold the night, before the sky breaks open

Bridge

Let the shutters shake

Let the gold seep through

We won't fight the break

We'll ride it, me and you

One more drop, one more line

Take the dawn and call it mine

Chorus

Hold the night, before the sky breaks open

Hold the night, before the sky breaks open
