Hold it till dawn breaks

Intro

Hold it till dawn breaks

Floor don't know when to stop

Verse 1 – male vocal

Lights down low behind the eyes

Smoke curls up and I let go

Four a.m., same four walls closing

Nobody's counting hours here

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

Hands up high against the ceiling

Feet don't know they're tired yet

Chorus – full ensemble, female lead vocals, gritty ad-libs, deep bass and layered synth stabs

Hold it till dawn breaks

Move your body through the black

Skin on skin where shadows meet

We keep dancing till the dark repeats

Verse 2 – male vocal

Bassline low beneath my ribs now

Someone's laughter cuts across the room

Static buzz behind my earlobe

Nobody here is letting go

Pre-Chorus – female lead vocals, high register, breathy and close-mic'd

Hold the pulse inside your chest

Don't stop till the ceiling breaks

Chorus – full ensemble, male vocal joins, gritty ad-libs swell

Hold it till dawn breaks

Move your body through the black

Skin on skin where shadows meet

We keep dancing till the dark repeats

Bridge – sparse piano and snare roll only, heavy reverb, no lyrics

Only sound left in this room is us moving

Nobody's watching the clock anymore

Chorus – full ensemble with layered synth stabs, deep 808 kick

Hold it till dawn breaks

Move your body through the black

Skin on skin where shadows meet

We keep dancing till the dark repeats
