(Verse 1 — What She Carries) I wake before the morning comes And feel the world before it stirs A hundred hearts against my own Each ache and hope and hurt The Guild-folk do not know it bleeds To sense what no one shows I smile and nod and carry on While something inside me grows (Pre-Chorus) And of all the hearts I carry Yours is the one I know the best The one you fold behind your armour The one you never let me tend (Chorus) I see you, sister, in the silence Behind the guardian's steady gaze I see the wound you call your duty I see the loneliness you raise You think that I need sheltering You think your grief is mine to spare But I have always seen you, Faelen — I see you, and I'm still right here (Verse 2 — The Weight of Knowing) They say my magic is too soft Too wild, too young, too feeling-made But no one stops to wonder What it costs to never look away I feel the sorrow of the wanderer Whose memories slip like rain I feel the edge-walker's quiet burden I carry what they cannot name (Pre-Chorus) And of all the hearts I carry Yours still breaks the hardest in my chest Not because it's loudest — Because it hurts the most to hide (Chorus) I see you, sister, in the silence Behind the guardian's steady gaze I see the wound you call your duty I see the loneliness you raise You think that I need sheltering You think your grief is mine to spare But I have always seen you, Faelen — I see you, and I'm still right here (Bridge — Her Own Truth) Sometimes I wish that I could close The door my magic opens wide And be a girl who only feels What's living on her own inside But I am made of what I notice I am woven out of what I know And the heaviest of all the hearts Is the one I'll never let go (Final Chorus — Extended) I see you, sister, I have always Seen you standing in the grey I see the boy you held at sunrise I see the morning he forgot your name You carry every soul you've rescued You carry every fading light But who carries you, my Faelen? I am here — let me carry you tonight
