Black Sky Breaking (Version 2)

Intro

Signal low

Signal low

Verse 1 – male spoken, slow building rhythm

Grey turns gold on the wall of steam

Heat climbs through my collarbone and seam

Six a.m., the room's half gone

Someone's shadow starts to move along

Pre-Chorus – tense, sparse percussion

Hold that pulse

Don't let go

Sunrise climbing over the low hum

This is how it breaks

Chorus

Black sky breaking into light on skin

Rising up where the speakers give in

Heat rolls high across the floor and floorboards

We move slow till we hit the open doors

Verse 2 – male spoken, same cadence as verse one

Last cigarette's burning down to ash

Shoes still stuck from a long, hard pass

Nobody wants this night to end

Static breaks when daylight starts to bend

Pre-Chorus

Hold that pulse

Don't let go

Sunrise climbing over the low hum

This is how it breaks

Chorus

Black sky breaking into light on skin

Rising up where the speakers give in

Heat rolls high across the floor and floorboards

We move slow till we hit the open doors

Bridge – spoken, close and intimate

Grey turns gold at an inch below my eyes

Every shadow's stepping out of place

No more static, no more wall to climb

Just the sun and heat against my skin

Chorus

Black sky breaking into light on skin

Rising up where the speakers give in

Heat rolls high across the floor and floorboards

We move slow till we hit the open doors
