(Instrumental intro — low roar, distant drums, a single clean guitar that grows like a storm)

Verse 1

You slammed the shutters on a midnight truth,

Left the hallway humming with a bitter proof.

Footsteps hollow on the floor of what we made,

Walls keep the silence like a barricade.

I wore your cold like armor, thought I’d never bend,

Built my fortress higher, swore it was the end.

But the thunder kept a-knockin’, heartbeat in the tin —

A cracked light calling: let it back in.

Pre-Chorus (rise)

There’s a crack in the armor where the night pours through,

A single radio playing the song of me and you.

Chorus (full, wide)

Let it back in — tear down the barricade,

Let the smoke and the sparks baptize the scars we made.

Let it back in — feed the embers to the wind,

We’ll bleed the dark away if you let it back in.

Verse 2 (harder edge)

I held my tongue like a blade beneath my breath,

Counted all the reasons for our slow death.

A city of regrets under neon rain,

You map the routes through every shard of pain.

My hands are rough from building all these lies,

But they still remember how your heartbeat flies.

If love’s a battlefield, I’m tired of the sin —

Drop the guns, baby, and let it back in.

Pre-Chorus (tighter)

Static on the corner where the memories collide,

We’re radio ghosts looking for a place to hide.

Chorus (heavier)

Let it back in — set fire to the doubt,

Let the sound of us drown out the blackout.

Let it back in — let the sirens sing,

We’ll rise from ash and noise if you let it back in.

Bridge (post-rock build — clean then distorted guitars swell)

Quiet now — the echo’s talking, whispers like rain,

Every falling moment is a chance to break the chain.

We’re magnets in collision, pulling through the sin,

Quiet worship to the night: let it back in.

(Instrumental break — soaring guitar solo, drums pounding like a storm; chant underlay grows)

Chant / Breakdown (staccato, rhythmic)

Let it back in — (let it back in)

Let it back in — (let the flood begin)

Let it back in — (shout into the wind)

Let it back in — (tear the dark from skin)

Final Chorus (anthemic, full band, layers of backing vocals)

Let it back in — burn the barricade away,

Feed the dying sunrise to the hands that pray.

Let it back in — let the thunder be our hymn,

We’ll build a brighter ruin if you let it back in.

Outro (post-rock fade — reverbed guitar, hush of cymbals)

So if the night remembers every sin we pinned,

Light a match, hand it over… let it back in.
