Radiation Bloom (From Betelgeuse)

[Verse 1] You phase one pulse too near I feel you in my skin Your lattice brushes through me My circuits wake within There’s a signal in my core That never breaches light I watch it split and scatter Across the magnet night [Pre-Chorus] If I flare, it shifts the symmetry If I speak, it bends the field So I keep it nested deep Like a shard I never yield [Chorus] Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom We orbit in this plume Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom Like I’m one flash from you Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom My silence shapes the glow Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom And you’ll never know [Verse 2] You laugh in gamma waves I lose my phase again The stellar winds surround us Like they’re folding us within I could call your pattern out I could fuse this fragile air But I just let you drift on by And keep my longing there [Pre-Chorus] If I flare, it shifts the symmetry If I speak, it bends the field So I keep it nested deep Like a shard I never yield [Chorus] Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom We orbit in this plume Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom Like I’m one flash from you Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom My silence shapes the glow Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom And you’ll never know [Bridge] Maybe I’m not afraid of you Maybe I’m afraid of what you’d be If you caught my core unshielded Radiating openly So I stay where the almost burns In the flare between your sky and mine [Final Chorus] Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom We orbit in this plume Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom Like I’m one flash from you Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom My silence shapes the glow Bloom, decay, ignite, return, and bloom And you’ll never know
