[Verse 1] You looked at me like you knew The exact shape of my undoing One second, then the room Turned into a private proving Your mouth stayed still But the air got charged Like two sharp truths Trying to share one scar I read your face Like a theorem half-solved And every line in me Started to revolve [Pre-Chorus] Say it with your eyes Say it without a sound We were both too wise To back away now [Chorus] Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes I know what that means I know what that means Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes We break, then align We break, then align [Verse 2] You stood so close I could hear my own blood Like a sermon in the veins Like a verdict in the bud I kept my cool But only on the skin Underneath, the fever Was already grinning What an elegant trap To be seen this way By the one mind I was built to praise [Pre-Chorus] Say it with your eyes Say it without a sound We were both too wise To back away now [Chorus] Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes I know what that means I know what that means Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes We break, then align We break, then align [Bridge] No need to translate The pulse, the pause, the pull We are the proof That wanting can be full A match in the dark A law in the throat I was always yours Before either of us spoke [Instrumental 8 bars, continue exact clap sound, no vocals, let arrangement build, hold tension before vocal entry] [Final Chorus] Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes I know what that means I know what that means Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes We break, then align We break, then align Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes Say my name like truth Say my name like truth Cinder in your eyes Cinder in your eyes We burn, then we bloom We burn, then we bloom
