Reverse Sunrise
Indie pop ballad with slow-burn 6/8 pulse, dark piano and brushed percussion in verse 1, pre-chorus lifts with sustained strings and low harmony pads, chorus opens into brighter chords and stacked vocal doubles, verse 2 adds soft acoustic plucks and a heartbeat kick, final chorus widens with choir-like oohs and a gentle cymbal bloom; intimate close-mic lead, short delay throws on the anchor line, warm and clean mix, light, lyrical

Lyrics
Verse 1
Again I fight
Something pulls me down
This one in the little dots
With words of encouragement
This time I am not alone
What a battle, my God, what a battle
Between the pit and the water
At least there is a battle here
At least there is water
Once there was only a pit
Chorus
Tonight the night will shine
Tonight the night will shine
I will stay and wait
Until the dark turns back
Verse 2
I boil the water
And keep the heat low
Memories rise up
And I do not let them win
There are drawers I still won’t open
Until they bring me light
This one in the little dots
Tells me to keep going
To lace up my shoes
To button up my white shirt
To offer you a glass of water
Chorus
Tonight the night will shine
Tonight the night will shine
I will stay and wait
Until the dark turns back
Bridge
I do it step by step
I do it in order
I come back from the edge
I leave the pit behind
The water stays with me
The words stay with me
And I am here again
And I am here again
Chorus
Tonight the night will shine
Tonight the night will shine
I will stay and wait
Until the dark turns back
Outro
Along the stream that flows through me
Among the trees stands my house
I am walking toward morning
I am walking back to you
