Obsidian Wish

Ethereal dream-pop ballad with intertwining male and female vocals; hazy analog synth pads swell under a slow, pulsing groove, while reverb-washed guitars shimmer and answer the melody, Verses stay intimate and breathy, drums soft and side-chained, then chorus blooms wide with stacked harmonies and a floating counter-melody, Final section strips back to just synth, guitar echoes, and a close-mic duet, lingering on the last phrase, female vocals, male vocals

[Verse 1] Sand in her mane Hooves tracing circles in heat Sky like a furnace Silent She followed his feet He called her a wonder Locked every window and door Silver rings on her ankles Bruised where they dragged on the floor [Chorus] Under the obsidian wish Where the dark holds every star in its fist You saw a cage I saw a mirror You broke my body I broke your fear Under the obsidian wish Two restless hearts in the same eclipse If I could run I think I’d stay If I am yours Then lose the chains [Verse 2] Blood on the stone He turned away from the stain Hands that once tightened the shackles Now shook as they loosened the frame “I thought I was saving The last bright magic on earth” She touched his shoulder in silence Felt the ache of his unloved years [Pre-Chorus] You were the storm in the palace I was the ghost in the stall Both of us dying of hunger Safe behind towering walls [Chorus] Under the obsidian wish Where the dark holds every star in its fist You saw a cage I saw a mirror You broke my body I broke your fear Under the obsidian wish Two restless hearts in the same eclipse If I could run I think I’d stay If I am yours Then lose the chains [Bridge] [Soft guitar arpeggios Whispered duet] Night split open Black glass sky She closed her eyes and fell through light Hoof turned to heel Muzzle to mouth A single breath Then a human cry (oh) He reached for her shoulder Afraid she would burn She tangled her fingers in his “I chose to return” [Chorus] Under the obsidian wish When the stars rewrote the words we’d missed You were my captor Now you’re my shelter I was your treasure Now I’m your answer Under the obsidian wish Two fragile hearts in a fragile bliss I could have run I chose to stay If I am yours Then drop the chains [Outro] [Instruments fade Close-mic duet] Under the obsidian wish We stand in the dark and exist No more cages Just your hand in mine Creature and keeper The curse redesigned
