[Intro] [Solo Distorted Cello, slow and weeping] [Low piano notes] [Verse 1 - Deep Baritone Vocals] The winter breath is crawling through the floor A ghost of what we used to be before I touch the glass, the frost begins to sting I’m waiting for the song you’ll never sing [Pre-Chorus - Soaring Tenor joins] And every light must cast a darker shade The price of every promise that we made [Chorus - Both voices, Powerful Harmonies] It’s the velvet thorn that breaks the skin The ending where we both begin A beautiful disaster in your eyes The truth is just a ghost in golden lies Oh, it’s bittersweet... The hollow taste of our defeat [Verse 2 - Tenor Vocals, Baritone ad-libs] The ink is dry upon the final page A silent bird within a silver cage You are the remedy, you are the blade A masterpiece of light and sudden shade [Chorus - Heavy Cello Riffs, Epic Orchestration] It’s the velvet thorn that breaks the skin The ending where we both begin A beautiful disaster in your eyes The truth is just a ghost in golden lies Oh, it’s bittersweet... The hollow taste of our defeat [Bridge - Intense Cello Solo, Fast Bowing] [Dramatic pause] How can love feel like a slow decay? How can the sun just turn to gray? (Baritone: I’m losing you) (Tenor: I’m finding me) In the wreckage of our symmetry! [Outro - Slowing down] Bittersweet... Just a shadow on the street... [Fade out with a single, long cello note] [End]
