Lockstep

[verse] I never asked to share a color With a tile across the grid Never asked to twist when she twists But the generator did [verse] She is filler, I am path She does nothing, I am gold Every rotation is a marriage Every quarter-turn retold [chorus] Lockstep, lockstep I cannot move without her Lockstep, lockstep She cannot rest without me Lockstep, lockstep We are bevels in a body We are channels in a sea Of tiles that get to be free [verse] The hint will pick the prettier of us And lock us both in red The dramatic flash will tell the player What we've always known instead [chorus] Lockstep, lockstep I cannot move without her Lockstep, lockstep She cannot rest without me [outro] Twins forever Twins forever Till the next puzzle Pulls us apart And makes new twins
