(Verse 1)
You found me in the dust, half-buried, half-alive,
Just another skeleton tryin’ to survive.
You brushed the years right off my skin,
Said, “You’re not gone, you’re just hidden within.”
Every fracture, every scar I’ve known,
You traced like maps on fossil stone.
Now I’m living proof that love can last —
You brought me back from the ancient past.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, I was lost beneath the weight,
Buried deep, you didn’t hesitate.
You cracked the earth, you called my name,
And pulled me from the shale and flame.
(Chorus)
You’re my carbon love, my time machine,
Digging up the truth in the in-between.
From bones to breath, from dust to flame,
You’re the reason I still got a name.
Oh, my carbon love, you make me new,
Every layer says I belong to you.
You’re my carbon love — my ancient proof.
(Verse 2)
I used to think I’d turned to stone,
A relic heart, left on its own.
But you saw life in the sediment,
A spark that never went extinct.
You said, “Every era has its fight,
But we’ll evolve, we’ll make it right.”
Now we’re writing our own epoch line,
Pressed in rock, your hand in mine.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, I was lost beneath the weight,
Buried deep, you didn’t hesitate.
You cracked the earth, you called my name,
And pulled me from the shale and flame.
(Chorus)
You’re my carbon love, my time machine,
Digging up the truth in the in-between.
From bones to breath, from dust to flame,
You’re the reason I still got a name.
Oh, my carbon love, you make me new,
Every layer says I belong to you.
You’re my carbon love — my ancient proof.
(Bridge)
We’re stardust and fossils, chaos and calm,
You’re my meteor, my healing balm.
When the world goes cold, when it all decays,
You still burn through the crust and haze.
(Breakdown)
Yeah, dig me up, dig me up —
Your hands in the dirt, your faith enough.
Through the faults and fractures,
You found me there — your ancient love, your answered prayer.
(Final Chorus)
You’re my carbon love, my endless flame,
You rewrote the bones, you changed my name.
From dust to dawn, through every age,
You’re the story carved across my cage.
Oh, my carbon love, my fossil truth,
Every heartbeat says I belong to you.
You’re my carbon love — eternal proof.
(Outro)
Yeah, in the rock and ruin, I still find you —
My carbon love, my fossil truth.
