[Verse 1] I found Elias by the orchard wall, His sleeves rolled up, the daylight thin. We were young enough to trust a name, Too new to know what names can hide. [Pre-Chorus] I carried every doubt I had Across the fields to Adam’s door. [Chorus] Tell me, is this bond a truthful pairing? Or are you turning me astray? I ask you plainly, I am listening— Don’t fold my question into gray. [Verse 2] “Lilith, you circle what you’re seeing,” He said, as if my eyes were glass. He moved the pieces while I watched him, Then swore the board had never changed. [Pre-Chorus] His answer wore my question’s face, A borrowed coat, a practiced smile. [Chorus] Tell me, is this bond a truthful pairing? Or are you turning me astray? I ask you plainly, I am listening— Don’t fold my question into gray. [Bridge] I know the road; I know the stone. I know the words I brought you here. You call my doubt a turning wheel, But I can hear the gears. [Final Chorus] This bond—will you name it truthfully? Or keep me walking your design? I am not lost inside a circle. Your answer cannot speak for mine. [Outro] I left the door without a blessing, And kept the question in my hands.
