A Marriage of House Makar and House Marten by Rian Makar

Indie Folk Rock, Synthwave Ballad, close-mic teen female voice

[Pre-Chorus]
I learn the steps to please the room, I tuck my heartbeat in
But when your shadow bends the street, the honest noise begins

[Chorus]
I love you Drea, I really do — more than a midnight view
More than quiet corners, more than anything they knew
If duty asks for distance, if duty calls me home
I’ll say it here and barefooted: I love you Drea, I really do

[Verse 2]
They'll speak of alliances with wax and names in rows of gold
They'll chart the future in their books and tell me where to hold
But your laughter splits the harbor like a comet through the rain
And every careful promise bends to how you ease my pain

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands were taught to tidy lines; my voice was taught to wait
But lines you paint on brick and stone rewrite what I could say

[Chorus]
I love you Drea, I really do — louder than plated chairs
Louder than the polite replies and folded, practiced airs
If someone asks for reasons, if someone asks for proof
I’ll lift my sleeve and show the marks: I love you Drea, I really do

[Bridge (synth swell, intimate)]
No silks to guard the feeling, no ledger can contain
The way your fingers carve a sky that keeps me from the pain
I won't pretend I’m certain where the future’s lines will run
But here, beneath the stencils, we have already begun

[Chorus (full band, synth shimmer)]
I love you Drea, I really do — sing it across the quay
Let neon wash the harbor and let everything agree
If marriage is a word they sign to bind two houses tight
Call it something softer — call it everything that's right

[Outro]
When morning folds our colors and the city takes its claim
I’ll keep this small rebellion like a lantern with your name
I say it once and say it true, beneath the raven's view
I love you Drea, I really do — and that will see me through.

[Verse 1] Polished windows, polished names, the city keeps its list Tea and curtseys at the table, every moment neatly dressed But under lanterns, in the mist, you move without a plan A spray-can hymn, a raven-wing — you make the greylands stand [Pre-Chorus] I learn the steps to please the room, I tuck my heartbeat in But when your shadow bends the street, the honest noise begins [Chorus] I love you Drea, I really do — more than a midnight view More than quiet corners, more than anything they knew If duty asks for distance, if duty calls me home I’ll say it here and barefooted: I love you Drea, I really do [Verse 2] They'll speak of alliances with wax and names in rows of gold They'll chart the future in their books and tell me where to hold But your laughter splits the harbor like a comet through the rain And every careful promise bends to how you ease my pain [Pre-Chorus] My hands were taught to tidy lines; my voice was taught to wait But lines you paint on brick and stone rewrite what I could say [Chorus] I love you Drea, I really do — louder than plated chairs Louder than the polite replies and folded, practiced airs If someone asks for reasons, if someone asks for proof I’ll lift my sleeve and show the marks: I love you Drea, I really do [Bridge (synth swell, intimate)] No silks to guard the feeling, no ledger can contain The way your fingers carve a sky that keeps me from the pain I won't pretend I’m certain where the future’s lines will run But here, beneath the stencils, we have already begun [Chorus (full band, synth shimmer)] I love you Drea, I really do — sing it across the quay Let neon wash the harbor and let everything agree If marriage is a word they sign to bind two houses tight Call it something softer — call it everything that's right [Outro] When morning folds our colors and the city takes its claim I’ll keep this small rebellion like a lantern with your name I say it once and say it true, beneath the raven's view I love you Drea, I really do — and that will see me through.
