[Verse 1 – measured allure] You move like balance on a wire, Each glance a calculated fire. The crowd pretends to breathe in time, We play in silence, edge-of-line. [Pre-Chorus 1] Every smile’s a drawn blade’s trace, Every bow, a feint of grace. [Chorus 1] Welcome to the Game of Grace, Where composure hides the chase. You strike with calm, I parry fame, Love’s the rule — we bend the game. *(echo loop: “steady hands / steady heart / don’t let the mask come apart…”) ⸻ [Verse 2 – equal opposition] The floor divides, the lights confess, Your certainty meets my finesse. Each step a wager, each breath a tell, We play restraint remarkably well. [Pre-Chorus 2] Every motion keeps its pace, Precision burns behind the face. [Chorus 2] Welcome to the Game of Grace, Where composure hides the chase. You strike with calm, I parry fame, Love’s the rule — we bend the game. ⸻ [Bridge – Mutual Check] No winner here, no need to fall, We trade control, we risk it all. The quiet tension pulls us near — You blink once, and I’m right here. ⸻ [Final Chorus – Ascendant Resolution] Welcome to the Game of Grace, Two reflections, one embrace. We play for truth, we play for flame, And call it love — the perfect game. (Outro – soft loop fades) Steady hands… steady heart… don’t let the mask come apart…
