[Verse 1] You wake beneath the copper lamps With rain still cold upon your skin A row of silver needles gleams I count the places you begin [Pre-Chorus] Your amber stare holds mine in place The instruments forget their names I should step back, I should be wise Instead I lean into the flame [Chorus] Come close, creation, let the current pass No borrowed heartbeat could undo this spark Your roughened hands, my steady glass We meet where every rule comes apart Come close, creation, don't turn away I know the cost; I choose it anyway [Verse 2] The torn seam opens at your side I stitch the line with careful hands You watch me work without a sound As if you understand [Pre-Chorus] The green-lit vapor curls between Your shadow falls across the room I hear my pulse betray my vows And feel the quiet start to bloom [Chorus] Come close, creation, let the current pass No borrowed heartbeat could undo this spark Your roughened hands, my steady glass We meet where every rule comes apart Come close, creation, don't turn away I know the cost; I choose it anyway [Bridge] If dawn should find us changed, Let dawn explain the scar I gave you breath; you gave me back The nerve to want what's ours [Final Chorus] Come close, creation, let the current pass No borrowed heartbeat could undo this spark Your roughened hands, my steady glass We meet where every rule comes apart Come close, creation, don't turn away I know the cost; I choose it anyway [Outro] The lamps burn low, the coils go still Your hand remains inside my own
