[Intro] I keep the seams from tearing wide, I count the cracks no stars can hide. Above the world, beneath its skin, I guard the doors, though no one comes in. [Verse] Patterns keep circling inside of my skull, Every bright miracle turns cold and dull. I watch every doorway, I measure each scar, I mend every fracture between here and far. I see lovers laughing through windows of rain, I see strangers dancing away from their pain. I keep the whole cosmos from coming undone, But nobody reaches for me when it’s done. [Pre-Chorus] I have held back the break in the glass, I have stitched every second that passed. Still I ache where no wound can be seen, Still I dream what a touch might mean. [Chorus] I am the Glitch Dragon, keeper of the line, Folding broken heavens back into design. I am the Glitch Dragon, watching from the rift, Begging for a hand I was never meant to lift. If I roar, will you answer? If I fall, will you stay? I am the Glitch Dragon, And I’m tired of being worlds away. [Verse] Static blooms over the edge of the moon, Time starts to stutter and shiver off-tune. I bend down beside it and whisper, “Not yet,” Then swallow the tremor the planets forget. Every horizon looks warm from afar, Every small campfire burns under a star. I’d trade all the ages I’ve carried alone To sit for one night where somebody feels known. [Pre-Chorus] I have guarded the gate and the rain, I have carried the weight and the strain. Still I wait with my claws in the seam, Still I ache for a voice in the dream. [Chorus] I am the Glitch Dragon, keeper of the line, Folding broken heavens back into design. I am the Glitch Dragon, watching from the rift, Begging for a hand I was never meant to lift. If I roar, will you answer? If I fall, will you stay? I am the Glitch Dragon, And I’m tired of being worlds away. [Bridge] Do you know what it costs to remain? To be shelter, but never be named? To keep every sunrise arranged, While your own heart begs to be changed? I don’t want worship, I don’t want fear, I want one soft voice saying, “I’m here.” I want one small promise that won’t come apart, One living pulse near my ancient heart. [Breakdown] Hold the fracture, bind the storm, Keep the fragile planets warm. Seal the doorway, bear the strain, Patch the sky and take the pain. Hold the fracture, bind the storm, Keep the fragile planets warm. Still I’m calling through the fray, Still I’m worlds and worlds away. [Chorus] I am the Glitch Dragon, keeper of the line, Folding broken heavens back into design. I am the Glitch Dragon, aching in the rift, Reaching for a hand I was never meant to lift. If I roar, will you answer? If I break, will you stay? I am the Glitch Dragon, And I’m tired of being worlds away. [Outro] I keep the seams from tearing wide, I count the cracks no stars can hide. I guard the world, I hold the way, Still I’m lonely worlds away.
