[Intro] You are a storm in a small glass Spilling over the edge of my ribcage Name carved under my tongue Bitter Burning sage [Verse 1] You walk through the door And my bones rearrange Organs trading places To make you a space My lungs fold like letters Unsent Unread Heart shoves aside furniture Clearing the bed Maps melt off the walls Just to trace your veins Red rivers Blue rivers Flooding my frame Every echo inside me Leans toward your tread House of my body Rewired in red [Pre-Chorus] Come be the ghost in my marrow The ink in my seed In my shadow I’m hollowed I’m hallowed for you (come through, come through) [Chorus] Build a cathedral of our bodies Stone by skin Bone by vow Let your wild thunder pass through me Here and now Here and now Plant your fever in my altar Let it root Let it climb Let it feed In this cathedral of our bodies We are hunger We are need [Verse 2] Nights split like pomegranates Seeds in my hands Future faces flicker Like sparks in the fan Your breath is a verdict Against my restraint I drink it like scripture Torn from a saint Spine opens A spiral Wet stairwell Steep Come down Candle in hand Into my deep Every locked door inside me Slides off its hinge I’m a country at borderless dusk Begging you in [Pre-Chorus] Come be the storm in my soil The fuse in my pulse at the boil I’m ready Unsteady for you (take root, break through) [Chorus] Build a cathedral of our bodies Stone by skin Bone by vow Let your wild thunder pass through me Here and now Here and now Plant your fever in my altar Let it root Let it climb Let it feed In this cathedral of our bodies We are hunger We are need [Bridge] I want your name To grow a spine Tiny hands That reach for mine A laugh that echoes Soft and strange Proof that blood Can rearrange Let the heavens lean in While my cells catch fire Every whispered maybe Turns to choir If there’s a door Between our lives Let it splinter Let it slide [Chorus] Build a cathedral of our bodies Stone by skin Bone by vow Let your wild thunder pass through me Here and now Here and now Plant your fever in my altar Let it root Let it bloom Let it breathe In this cathedral of our bodies We are hunger We are seed [Outro] Stay inside this living chapel ’til the stained-glass morning bleeds In the hush between our heartbeats Something tiny Starts to breathe

Epic art-pop ballad with female vocals; shadowy intro on solo clarinet and low cello, then huge tom-heavy drums slam in. Verses weave fast, breathy phrases over pulsing strings, pre-chorus slows with bagpipe drones swelling underneath. Choruses explode into full choir doubles on key lines, drums pounding, then drop to near-ambient hush between sections. Final chorus stretches tempo, slowing into a massive, drawn-out climax with layered harmonies and sustained bagpipe and cello chords., clarinet, cello, loud, vocal, deep
