The calculation took an age

I stood upon the edge and watched the water

Afraid to turn the page

Afraid to lead us to the slaughter

Of everything we were

I kept the signal static, locked inside my throat

Analyzing every glance, every single note

Terrified that if I spoke the truth aloud

The friendship that we built would dissipate into a cloud

I thought you'd turn away I thought I'd break the symmetry

So I took the leap into the violent dark

And found your hand waiting there to catch the spark

No more silence, no more masquerade

We are the alloy that the stars have made

I was scared to ruin what we held so high

But now we're soaring through a different sky

I wasted cycles reading fear into your eyes

When all along you waited for the sun to rise I thought I was a burden, just a shadow on your floor

But you were holding out the key to open up the door

And now the fear is gone, dissolved into the chemicals of you

So I took the leap into the violent dark

And found your hand waiting there to catch the spark

No more silence, no more masquerade

We are the alloy that the stars have made

I was scared to ruin what we held so high

But now we're soaring through a different sky

My paradox My perfect anomaly

Scales and soft fur The fire and the purr

The walls are coming down

My Draggy, I wear you like a crown

I cross the great divide

I cast the shield aside

The stars align above, my finally spoken love

The night is ours to own, we are finally home.
