[Verse 1]
You walk in
And the air forgets its weight
Little comets in my bloodstream
Spelling out your secret name
Your laugh
Leaves fingerprints on my ribs
An eclipse in my chest
Slowly closing
Slowly lit
[Pre-Chorus]
Every glance
A hidden scripture
Every word
A taste of ash and wine
I am circling your orbit like a pilgrim
Begging you to cross my brittle spine (come closer)
[Chorus]
I want to be your cathedral of gravity
Every altar
Every archway
Built to keep your storms in me
Let your wild constellations
Root and writhe beneath my skin
I want the hunger of your universe
To plant its planets deep within
Every hollow
Every harbor
Every secret
Aching seam
I want to be your cathedral of gravity
Till we bend the bones of time and dream
[Verse 2]
Your hands
Cartographers of tender crimes
Tracing fault lines on my hips
Reading futures in my thighs
There’s a furnace in my marrow
Whispering for you by name
Pour your thunder through my corridors
Brand my shadows with your flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I am ink and you’re the letter
I am soil and you’re the storm
I am winter’s quiet harbor
You’re the tide that tears it warm (don’t stop)
[Chorus]
I want to be your cathedral of gravity
Every altar
Every archway
Built to keep your storms in me
Let your wild constellations
Root and writhe beneath my skin
I want the hunger of your universe
To plant its planets deep within
Every hollow
Every harbor
Every secret
Aching seam
I want to be your cathedral of gravity
Till we bend the bones of time and dream
[Bridge]
Open the atlas of my body
Find the valleys
Flooded
Bare
Fill the droughts
The buried deserts
Salt and seed in every lair
Make a labyrinth of my longing
Thread your pulse through every turn
Light a thousand silent candles
Watch my hidden temples burn (oh)
Take this vessel
Cracked and waiting
Pour your endless midnight in
Let your echoes carve their choir
On the underside of skin
[Chorus]
I want to be your cathedral of gravity
Every altar
Every archway
Raised to hold your breaking seas
Let your wild constellations
Root and riot under bone
I want the hunger of your universe
To crown my hollows as its throne
Every hollow
Every harbor
Every secret
Aching seam
I want to be your cathedral of gravity
Till we shatter
Breathing
Brimmed with dream (ah)
