Vectors of a Broken Heart

V5.5

**(Verse 1)** Born with horns that mark me as a curse, In a cage of steel where mercy turned to dirt. They poked and prodded, laughed at my screams, But inside I was building an endless dream. Red eyes wide in the sterile light, I learned the world only teaches how to fight. Invisible hands that reach and tear, They call me monster... but I was never spared. **(Chorus)** I am Kaede, the queen of pain, Vectors dancing in the pouring rain. I reach for love but crush it in my fist, Why does every gentle touch become a twist? Lonely in this head, two voices fight, One wants to kill, the other holds you tight. If I could be human, just for a day... I'd trade these horns for a chance to stay. **(Verse 2)** I met a boy by the ocean shore, He smiled at me like I wasn't war. But memories flood like blood on the sand, And Nyu wakes up with a trembling hand. I want to hold you, never let you go, But the rage inside says "Everyone must know..." The agony they carved into my soul, So I paint the streets in crimson just to feel whole. **(Chorus)** I am Kaede, the queen of pain, Vectors dancing in the pouring rain. I reach for love but crush it in my fist, Why does every gentle touch become a twist? Lonely in this head, two voices fight, One wants to kill, the other holds you tight. If I could be human, just for a day... I'd trade these horns for a chance to stay. **(Bridge)** They made me this— a weapon, a child, A broken promise running wild. Every life I take is one they stole, But in the quiet... I still dream of home. Forgive me, Kouta... I never meant to fall, But the Diclonius inside answers every call. **(Final Chorus - softer, then building)** I am Kaede... lost inside the storm, Vectors fading as my body warms. One last reach before the end draws near, Let me feel your heartbeat... disappear. Two voices finally quiet in the night, Maybe death will make me something right. If I could be human... even in a lie... I'd choose your world... and say goodbye. **(Outro)** Horns and silence... That's all that's left of me.
