Last Light Leaving

{weeping solitary piano melody over faint

rhythmic pulse

like a fading heart,

wide reverb} I played the games,

I fueled the burning flame I should have checked the path,

at least I claim the blame

I feel the static of a promise

I couldn’t keep

A failure of the spirit,

a secret I couldn't reap.

I know she fills the silence,

she gives you what is true

Mais, mon amour, I couldn't reach that level with you.

She has the future,

she holds the steady light But I am hollow,

drifting through the night.

{shaky honest vulnerable delivery,

subtle delay on final line} Just one more time,

let me be the anchor at your door Just one more time,

then I won’t beg for anymore

I don’t care if your soul is drifting to her side Just

wake up in my arms,

let the ego subside.

Une dernière fois, let me take you home.

{sweeping desperate controlled vocal,

layered shimmering sorrowful harmonies} I don’t deserve the grace,

I know the debt is high But stay a single breath,

I’ll justify the lie Forgive the fracture,

let’s pause the ticking clock

I take the burden,

I suffer every shock.

My fault, my error,

I was careless with the gold

But let me hold the warmth before the dark grows cold.

{rhythmic pleading delivery}

I don’t want to exist

in the vacuum without you.

Je ne veux pas être sans toi.

Just one last time.

Une dernière fois.

{music pulls back to driving bass and rhythmic breath,

whisper close-mic intense} 100% Tiguidou.

The bargain is struck.

One last time.

Une dernière fois. {final resonant piano chord,

quiet door click close,

raw intimate bedroom studio vibe,

resolved

elegant}
