Lyrics
Detect my sudden existence on your sonar

You feel the echo

Electrify the resistance in your broken heart

And burn it up, oh

We’re gonna photosynthesize and drink up the sunrise



So do they ever shut up because you said so or

Do you overthink ’em all

Somebody ought to corrupt you on the dance floor

And take you home

Show you all your daemons and desires and dark sides

All of your colonies and continental divides



Let me uncover the silver in your dark hair

The weight of your bones

I want to witness the beauty of your repair

The shape you’ve grown

For you are made of nebulas and novas and night sky

You’re made of memories you bury or live by



So if you’re out there in the cold

I’ll cover you in moonlight

If you’re a stranger to your soul

I’ll bring you to your birthright

I want the storm inside you awoken now

I want your warm bright eyes

To never look away

Don’t you ever look away



Some nights we open up the flood

And some nights we are lost

And some nights we’re choking on the words

But some we light on fire



So if you’re out there in the cold

I’ll cover you in moonlight

If you’re a stranger to your soul

I’ll bring you to your birthright

I want the storm inside you awoken now

I want your warm bright eyes

To never look away

Don’t you ever look away



I want your warm bright eyes

To come back to me

And hold on to me

You know I won’t lie

I will never look away

I haven't seen this version yet but clearly I NEED TO! Wonderful storytelling and you brought out the themes beautifully. That final shot of the security guy closing the video feed of Theseus dying is fantastic.
