[Intro] (softly, guitar) [Verse 1] (male, warm) Sit here with me every morning, breathe Match your chest to mine and let the roar recede Thirty years I loved her long before the blood The parasite arrived and it turned the quiet loud [Chorus] (both, honeyed harmony) Intimacy is the charge Conflict is the drain Trust is the only battery Trust is the only thing that stays Don't lose yourself, child You expand to hold the two I am still me I just learned to be a we too [Verse 2] (female, warm) Take my hand and watch the sapphire climb Fifty pounds lifts light as a coffee mug, his strength through mine He's the anchor, I'm the strike I trust his breath so I can carry all his might [Chorus] (both, harmony) Intimacy is the charge Conflict is the drain Trust is the only battery Trust is the only thing that stays Don't lose yourself, child You expand to hold the two I am still me I just learned to be a we too [Bridge] (tender, sparse) You two are building love the backward way Biology first, then choice, and choice is hard to say The Symbiont hates a secret, every wall it drains Silence is a leak, so tell the truth through all the pain Treat the bond like a curse and a curse is what you get Call it a gift and hold it, and you are not Feral yet [Outro] (both, soft) Come back through if you survive the wall You two are stronger than you know at all
