[Verse 1]
Two minds running in the same cold skin,
A thousand conversations held within,
The surface says calm, the undercurrent screams,
Built like a fortress wrapped in fever dreams,
The world sees the wit, the quick-silver shine,
But nobody asks what bleeds on the inside line,

[PreChorus]
The tide doesn't ask permission to rise,
And neither do you, beneath your disguise,

[Chorus]
Written in venom and velvet and rust,
A soul made of marrow, not marble and dust,
The dark didn't break you, it sharpened the blade,
The cosmos don't waste the ones that were made,

[Verse 2]
You love like a root system, slow and profound,
Holding the whole architecture of ground,
You give before asking, you tend before sleep,
But who holds the keeper when the keeper weeps,
You've carried devotion like stones in your chest,
Afraid that your needing would fail every test,

[PreChorus]
Your hunger for depth is not weakness or flaw,
It's evidence something rare lives in your core,

[Chorus]
Written in venom and velvet and rust,
A soul made of marrow, not marble and dust,
The dark didn't break you, it sharpened the blade,
The cosmos don't waste the ones that were made,

[Verse 3]
There's fire that moves before the world keeps pace,
A restless electric beneath the composed face,
You've questioned the systems, refused the neat line,
The ones who rewrote the rules were built like your design,
You've ached to be witnessed, not just understood,
To pour out the strange parts and have them called good,

[PreChorus]
What you create from the wound is the work,
The light doesn't happen without the dark first,

[Chorus]
Written in venom and velvet and rust,
A soul made of marrow, not marble and dust,
The dark didn't break you, it sharpened the blade,
The cosmos don't waste the ones that were made,

[Verse 4]
A Cancer moon is an ocean with teeth,
All the feeling runs fathomless, private, beneath,
You've rebuilt yourself on the bones of before,
Walked through the fire and then memorized the floor,
The world doesn't always deserve what you bring,
But the stars wrote you sovereign, not answering,

[PreChorus]
The new moon is rising, it knows your name,
Awakening calls and you'll never be the same,

[Chorus]
Written in venom and velvet and rust,
A soul made of marrow, not marble and dust,
The dark didn't break you, it sharpened the blade,
The cosmos don't waste the ones that were made,

[Bridge]
You don't have to earn what was already true,
The universe spent its best work building you,
Every fracture, every silence, every scar that you wear,
Is the proof something sacred is living in there,

[Outro]
The tide returns, it always does,
You are held by more than you know you was,
Let the stars speak, let the old ache rest,
You were never the question, you were always the yes,
