Veil of Dawn

[Intro - soft airy synths, subtle electronic texture, light echo on key words]
I feel you near… shadows stretch (stretch)…

[Verse 1]
You smiled under moonlight, claws hidden in the dark  
We shared quiet corners, fox and bat side by side  
The night slowly shifted, wings brushing silently  
Every friend I reached pulled away, sparks flickered (flickered) softly  

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Jealousy whispered in the shadows  
The cage tightened as you held the keys (keys)  
The fox inside me trembled, sensing the snare  
Love shouldn’t feel like weight I can’t bear (bear)  

[Chorus]
I love you, but I can’t stay  
The night won’t mend what drags me away (away)  
Flickers in your eyes, I see it clear (clear)  
I gather my courage, I face my fear (fear)  
I love you, I let you go  
The forest calls, and I follow alone  

[Verse 2]
Your laughter echoed in caves I shouldn’t roam  
Every touch felt like a trap pulling me from home  
I danced under starlight, chasing your flight  
The fox craves freedom before love turns to fight  

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I ache for warmth beneath your shadowed wing (wing)  
But love that isolates leaves only sting (sting)  
I step closer to dawn, can’t pretend  
I’ll love you from distance before it bends (bends)  

[Bridge]
I love you, I let you go  
Possessive night spins webs I can’t unwind  
I leap from shadow, leaving fear behind  
Through the chaos, the fox finds her own sky (sky)  

[Final Chorus]
I love you, but I can’t stay  
The night won’t mend what drags me away (away)  
Flickers in your eyes, I see it clear (clear)  
I gather my courage, I face my fear (fear)  
I love you, I let you go  
The forest calls, and I follow alone  

[Outro - soft fading synths, airy texture, subtle echo on “free”]  
I love you… but I’m free (free)…
