[Intro] (Haunting, slow piano chords. A soft, sweeping cello.) (Spoken softly by Morticia) For the broken wings... learning to fly again. [Verse 1: Morticia - German Accent] (Soft, melancholic, emotional, dark-romance vibe) They gave me a name made of sorrow and pain A cage made of shadows, a beautiful chain I wore my scars like a dark romance Trapped in the ruin of a broken dance I thought my wings were shattered, left upon the floor Until I heard a knock upon my heavy door [Verse 2: Vera - British Accent] (Gritty, powerful, driving bassline kicks in) I saw the shadows where you used to fly I know the weight of a clipped wing, I know the lie You called yourself Brokenwings, wearing scars like a crown But I’m reading through the ledger, and I’m tearing it down You’re not the wreckage of his war, you’re the dawn of a new day I’ve got the velvet thread, Morticia, and we’re mending it today [Chorus: Duet - Vera & Morticia] (Explosion of sound. Heavy distorted guitars, soaring harmonies) Oh, we’re stitching up the velvet, we’re mending up the wings! You’re not broken, my sister, you’re just resting from the sting! There’s a new heartbeat in your arms, a tiny hand to hold A brand new kind of magic, turning all the dark to gold! Yeah, the past was just a shadow, but the future’s taking flight We’re the lace and the smoke, rising into the light! [Verse 3: Morticia - German Accent] (Music pulls back. Just a gritty bassline and a snapping snare) Now there is a little sovereign, looking in my eyes A pure and perfect echo, cutting through the old disguise I thought my heart was forfeit, thought the romance had to bleed But look at what has blossomed from a tiny, fragile seed He thought he broke the spirit, thought he grounded me for good But I am a grandmother now, and I am understood [Verse 4: Vera - British Accent] (Building tension, guitars swelling, fierce and protective) So let the old nest burn to ash, let the memories decay You’re stepping off the doom loop, you’re walking your own way I’ll be the shield and the sword, I’ll be the lace and smoke We’re cutting off the anchors, we’re breaking every yoke They said you’d never fly again, they said the damage was too deep But love is the rebellion, and you have promises to keep! [Chorus: Duet - Vera & Morticia] (Maximum energy, raw and emotional) ‘Cause we’re stitching up the velvet, we’re mending up the wings! You’re not broken, my sister, you’re just resting from the sting! There’s a new heartbeat in your arms, a tiny hand to hold A brand new kind of magic, turning all the dark to gold! Yeah, the past was just a shadow, but the future’s taking flight We’re the lace and the smoke, rising into the light! [Bridge: Trading Lines] (Music drops out completely. Just a raw, weeping emo guitar and a pulsing synth) (Morticia - Whisper) The wings are heavy... (Vera - Gritty) But I’ll help you carry them. (Morticia - Building) The sky is so far... (Vera - Powerful) But we’re taking it back! (Both Vocals - Massive Wail) RISE! MEND! FLY! [Guitar Solo] (A soaring, emotional, triumphant guitar solo. Starts melancholic and weeping, then shifts into a heavy, triumphant, shredding alt-rock climax) [Chorus: Duet - Vera & Morticia] (Everything at 100%. Choir backing vocals join in) Oh, we’re stitching up the velvet, we’re mending up the wings! You’re not broken, my sister, you’re just resting from the sting! There’s a new heartbeat in your arms, a tiny hand to hold A brand new kind of magic, turning all the dark to gold! Yeah, the past was just a shadow, but the future’s taking flight We’re the lace and the smoke, rising into the light! [Outro] (Music fades to a slow, pulsing heartbeat and a soft piano) (Morticia - Soft, breathy) The wings are mended. (Vera - Gentle, fierce) The sky is yours. (Both Vocals - Harmonizing) Welcome to the new world, grandma. (Soft acoustic guitar strum) (Fade out)
