The Fifth Answer

V6

[Verse 1] Four lines drawn in white Four corners, measured clean If every loss demands a price then nothing leaves unseen Count the breath, divide the blood Name everything we owe If heaven locks a single door we'll build one down below You said, "There has to be a way." I said, "Then we'll find two." We thought the world was mathematics. We thought that made it true. [Pre-Chorus] One for one Bone for bone Nothing taken Nothing owed Name the cost I'll pay it twice— Just give me back what wasn't yours to take! [Chorus] If everything has an answer then tell me what answers this What number rebuilds a heartbeat? What law returns what we miss? I gave the fire my future I gave the dark my name But every perfect equation left us bleeding all the same So take my hands take every plan take every truth I understand— If this is balance... Why can't I stand? [Post-Chorus] [Verse 2] Three knocks inside the silence Three shadows on the wall I keep expecting one more sound that never comes at all Your hand is on my shoulder Mine doesn't feel the same You tell me, "Stop apologizing." I memorize the blame We crossed the line together but I drew the circle first You lost something beside me— I made you share the curse. [Pre-Chorus] One for one— that's what I said But nothing weighs the nights you stayed No scale can hold what you became When you carried half my shame [Chorus] If everything has an answer then tell me what answers you What price could measure a promise that neither of us withdrew? You saw the worst thing in me and never turned away No ledger knows what you gave me No law says what I should pay So take my pride take what I knew But don't you dare say I owe you— You chose my side. I chose yours too. [Bridge] I spent so long trying to put back what was there before. As if healing meant becoming who we were. But look at us. Not whole. Not ruined. Not equal. Alive. [Final Chorus] Not everything needs an answer Not everything has a price No number explains why you stayed here when staying cost you a life We couldn't bring back the morning We couldn't undo that night But maybe the point isn't balancing everything left and right Keep your hands I'll keep mine too We'll build with whatever survived us No debt. No scale. No perfect truth. Just one more step— Me and you.
