Lyric

I wanted to tell him my truth

The man I put on a pedestal

But the failures of work, of youth

Left my self-worth barely visible

I was broken, too unsure to speak

​Then I saw him standing there

Caught a glimpse of the same hollow stare

He was wrestling the same demon, doubt

​The mission came down from the sky

A strange contract—just him and I

We built a wall so the shame wouldn't bleed out

But the slow fire we started burned every doubt

And the work, somehow, we got it done

​We traded secrets when the world went dark

Slow words talking, hitting their perfect mark

We started accepting the mess in our heads

​Our bond was slow, not a rush or a high

But we cherished the pace beneath the grey sky

That tender, slow rhythm—it kept us alive

​The mission came down from the sky

A strange contract—just him and I

We built a wall so the shame wouldn't bleed out

But the slow fire we started burned every doubt

And the work, somehow, we got it done

​This silence we found, in the rush of the world

A quiet port where our banners were furled

The deep comfort of two damaged souls standing here

​Now peace is a fixture, a tangible thing

The sound of two steady hearts, finally beating clear
