[Intro – The sky frozen mid-shatter]
Everything hangs still.
Even the suns.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Red POV realization]
Red flame flickers in my hand,
World breaking where we stand,
And I finally understand —
You’re not the villain.
You didn’t crave the void you wear,
You didn’t wake up wanting despair,
You just stayed when none were there —
To catch you.
I thought grief meant holding tight,
Clinging hard to what was right,
But I never faced the night —
Like you did.
You didn’t fall because you’re weak.
You fell because you couldn’t speak
The weight that crushed your ribs each week —
Alone.
⸻
[Chorus 1 – Heavy, reflective]
I see you now in shattered light,
Not as monster — but as might
Twisted by a lonely fight —
Unanswered.
We are two flames born the same,
One held hope, one held pain,
If I’d lost just one more name —
I’d be you.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Black POV admission]
Black sun dims within my chest,
Void unstable, unrest,
And I confess —
I never wanted this.
I didn’t choose to lose control,
It crept in slow and took its toll,
Grief hollowed out the soul —
Piece by piece.
I tried to carry what remained,
Tried to bury what was slain,
But every time I said her name —
It burned deeper.
I’m not proud of what I became.
I’m just tired of carrying blame.
If this world survives the flame —
Let it be you.
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Shared]
I see you now across the flame,
Mirror cracked but still the same,
Not opponent in this game —
But outcome.
Red and black in fragile spin,
Both of us have always been
Versions shaped by what we’ve been —
Given.
⸻
[Bridge – Emotional Metal Swell]
(Guitars swell, not crushing — rising)
We fought like enemies
Because it hurt too much to see.
We broke the sky
Because we couldn’t break the grief.
No more rage.
No more pride.
If one of us must survive —
Let it mean something.
⸻
[Chorus 3 – Final understanding]
I see you now before the end,
Not as shadow, not as friend,
But as the path I might descend —
Into.
Two suns hanging torn apart,
One world balanced on a heart,
If we tear each other dark —
Nothing remains.
⸻
[Outro – The choice begins]
The black sun flickers.
The red sun steadies.
And one of them
Starts to fade.
