[singer A] I came to you in ash and grace With a fractured halo, borrowed face You held my name like a fragile key Turned in your palm, then set me free I read your silence, line by line A sacred code in the fault of time You are the proof my curse can breathe The only human who can see me [transition] [singer B] I met you where the candles lean, where saints forget what shadows mean. You read my name like you were sure, like every curse had found a cure. I wore the red behind my eyes, you wore your mortal, measured light. You never asked me what I'd cost, you only saw what I had lost. [transition] [singer A] I do not ask for your bright dawn I know what stays and what is gone Still, when you move through the room like a prayer I learn the shape of wanting there [singer A] I love you in the dark I love you in the dark You are the wound I guard I love you in the dark If heaven names me wrong I will remain where I belong Beside your quiet heart I love you in the dark [melodic interlude] [singer B] So I kept still and let the dusk teach me your shape, your fragile trust. [singer B] Stay, my human, stay I am the dark you chose Stay, my human, stay I love you in repose (stay, my human, stay) (stay, my human, stay) [transition] [singer A] No thunder asks to be believed No kingdom gives what we receive You are alive, and I am sworn To love what cannot be reborn So if the doors of mercy close I will not rage, I already know A demon learns, through stillness, how To kneel without making a vow [transition] [singer B] If dawn must take you, take you slow, let me be first to let you go. I will not beg the sky to bend, I only ask to watch it end. So keep my name inside your bones, like something fierce that found a home. [final chorus] [singer A] I love you in the dark I love you in the dark You are the wound I guard I love you in the dark If heaven names me wrong I will remain where I belong Beside your quiet heart I love you in the dark I love you in the dark I love you in the dark You are the wound I guard I love you in the dark If heaven names me wrong I will remain where I belong Beside your quiet heart I love you in the dark
