Luminescent Divide

Verse

Red exit sign cuts through the smoke in the hall

Duct tape keeps the handle on a suitcase that won't shut at all

Cold coffee stain on your collarbone, half-remembered laughter.

Stairwell railing still warm from your hand.

The neon hum outside is louder than my name.

Pre-Chorus

So tell me where you're going before I forget

Hold this door so the echo stays set

One more second before we turn away.

What's left behind that don't deserve to fade.

Chorus

This is the luminescent divide, glowing in your eyes

Burning brighter than the night we leave behind

Every pulse on your neck is counting down to a light.

Can you see it too? Can you see us tonight?

Luminescent divide, neon bleeding slow

Fading to an echo that I want to know

This is the luminescent divide, one last step before the line.

Verse

Streets are quiet but your laughter cuts through the gray

Car headlights bouncing off a broken window pane.

Your jacket's buttoned but your collar stays open wide

Same smile from the train station, same eyes that won't hide

Concrete remembers every footprint we've made.

Your hand brushes mine and it doesn't stay unkept

The city's asleep while we're wide awake.

Pre-Chorus

So tell me where you're going before I forget

Hold this door so the echo stays set

One more second before we turn away.

What's left behind that don't deserve to fade.

Chorus

This is the luminescent divide, glowing in your eyes

Burning brighter than the night we leave behind

Every pulse on your neck is counting down to a light.

Can you see it too? Can you see us tonight?

Luminescent divide, neon bleeding slow

Fading to an echo that I want to know

This is the luminescent divide, one last step before the line.

Bridge

Maybe time keeps folding back into tonight

Every second counted like a lifeline that glows bright

No more turning and no more saying goodbye.

We stay in this light until it starts to die.

Chorus

This is the luminescent divide, glowing in your eyes

Burning brighter than the night we leave behind

Every pulse on your neck is counting down to a light.

Can you see it too? Can you see us tonight?

Luminescent divide, neon bleeding slow

Fading to an echo that I want to know

This is the luminescent divide, one last step before the line.
