[Verse 1: Lilith] Past the wall, I take the long way home The garden keeps its silence in the leaves Beneath the memory tree, I name my body mine Though borrowed days have changed what I can be [Verse 2: Elias] I saw you there beside him in the green His hand too near, your face turned toward the ground Tell me what this was—have you betrayed me? I crossed the garden with the question burning loud [Pre-Chorus: Lilith] You saw a moment, not the whole of me I need you now to hear before you judge [Chorus: Duet] Don’t turn one wound into a final truth Don’t let one fear decide what we become I am still here, I’m walking back to you Through the gates, toward the home we made our own [Verse 3: Lilith] He came too close; I stepped away and spoke I held my ground beneath that ancient bough My skin is mine, my name is mine to keep The transfer changed my vessel, not my vow [Verse 4: Elias] I let my anger answer what I feared I thought the garden took you from my side I see your hands are shaking as you speak I should have asked before I chose the lie [Bridge: Duet] Past the wall, the path is narrow Past the hurt, we walk it slow In the City of Awareness There is room for what we know [Final Chorus: Duet] Don’t turn one wound into a final truth We’ll let the harder, kinder answer come I am still here, and now I’m walking with you Through the gates, toward the home we made our own [Outro: Lilith and Elias] The garden fades behind us The city opens wide We carry what we’ve spoken And walk back side by side
