[Intro – soft piano & distant strings]
Female (whispered, breathy): Can you feel me fading… (fading…)
Male (low, cracked): Can you hear me breaking… (breaking…)
[Verse 1 – Female]
I wore your silence like a crown of thorns
Every word you never said cut deeper than the dawn
I built these walls with every lie I swore was true
Just to keep the shards of me from falling over you
(soft ad-lib): …over you…
(oooouuu)
[Pre-Chorus – Male]
If I tear the sky open tonight
Will you finally look in my eyes?
If I steal the heavens, burn them bright
Would it be enough?
(ad-lib): Enough to save my face… save my pride…
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyeyeyyyeeah!
[Chorus – Both]
I’d give you the moon and stars!
Rip them down with bleeding hands
Hang them bleeding in your scars
Just to make you understand
That I’m dying here behind this mask
(Female high ad-lib): Dying…
Take the moon, take the stars
(Male low ad-lib): Take it all…
Take everything I am
So you never see how broken we’ve become
(Both): Broken!
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 2 – Male]
I painted galaxies across the cracks in my soul
Told you they were constellations, told you I was whole
Every light I stole from heaven was a debt I couldn’t pay
But I swore I’d light your darkness if you promised you would stay
(ad-lib): Stay with me…
[Pre-Chorus – Female]
If I let the night swallow me whole
Would you finally carry me home?
If I fall forever, lose control
Would it be enough?
(ad-lib): Enough to save your face… your throne…
Yyyyeyyeyeyeyeahaahahaha!
[Chorus – Both]
I’d give you the moon and stars!
(Female): Higher!
Rip them down with bleeding hands
(Male): Bleed for you!
Hang them bleeding in your scars
Just to make you understand
That I’m dying here behind this mask
(Female ad-lib): I’m dying!
Take the moon, take the stars
Take everything I am
(Both, screaming): So you never see!
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge – orchestra swells]
Female (spoken, trembling): You wanted perfect…
Male (growled): I became the lie…
Both (full scream): LOOK WHAT WE’VE DONE TO THE SKY!
(Female ad-lib): Look at it burn!
(Male ad-lib): It’s burning for you!
[Final Chorus – key change up, explosive]
We gave you the moon and stars!
(Female): Take it!
Tore the heavens just to pretend
(Male): Just to pretend!
Left them bleeding in our arms
This is how the faithful end
We’re dying here behind the mask
(Female high wail): Dying!
We gave the moon, we gave the stars
(Male): Everything!
We gave you everything we had
And still you never saw
(Both, raw): How broken…
How broken we’ve become!
(Female descending ad-lib): Broken… broken… broken…
[piano solo]
[Outro – piano returns, voices fade]
Female (whisper): Take the moon… (echo: moon… moon…)
Male (hoarse): Take the stars… (echo: stars… stars…)
Both (overlapping, barely audible): Just don’t… don’t take the truth…
(Female, final breath): We’re already gone…
(Male, fading): Gone…
