A fragment still lingers, a scar on my soul, A mark on my finger, a weight I can’t hold. A home and a parting, a dream wrapped in fright, A balm for the aching, a slap and delight. [Chorus] So dual, so hidden, absurd to the core, Both known and forbidden, yet I wanted more. A lone little starlight that flickered, then died, Salvation and sorrow burned side by side. [Verse 2] You slipped through my spirit, my heart held your place, I dreamed I could meet you, then drowned in your gaze. The fault must be mine too, though poisoned the fight, I ran back a hundred times into the night. [Chorus] So dual, so hidden, absurd to the core, Both known and forbidden, yet I wanted more. A lone little starlight that flickered, then died, Salvation and sorrow burned side by side. [Bridge] A hundred times fighting to pull you back through, Yet still I grew weary—betrayal was you. The kindest so often get lost in the storm, Yet scars tell the stories of all we transform… [Outro] Each mark and each scar, though time may erode, Remains in the cosmos of all that we've sown…
