[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)

pop, Dark, slow-burning art-pop ballad with female vocals; intimate close-mic on the verse over sparse piano and low cello swells, clarinet weaving smoky counter-melodies. Pre-chorus grows with tom-heavy drums and pulsing sub drone; chorus blooms into a ritualistic, almost pagan chant carried by bagpipes in the upper register, stacked harmonies, and a huge, reverberant snare. Bridge strips back to voice and cello harmonics, then final chorus adds call-and-response vocals and insistent floor toms for a cathartic, breathless finish., cello, clarinet, deep
