[Verse 1]
I’ve walked through fault zones in my mind
Shifting sands and pressure lines
But you were there, through every strain
A steady presence in the strain
When I crumbled like shale in the rain
You held tight through the stress and the pain
In the strata of my buried years
You uncovered hope through all my fears
[Pre-Chorus]
And I fall… deeper into the fold
Where your love… is carved in stone and gold
[Chorus]
You’re the layer that never breaks
Under pressure, under quakes
Sedimented in my soul
You’re the only thing that holds
Through the faults and through the fire
You’re the calm, you’re the empire
When the world fractures in two
I find the layers…
The layers of you
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen the cores beneath my skin
History stacked so paper-thin
But you read me like a seismic map
Navigated every trap
You knew the weight I tried to hide
The buried faults I kept inside
But like a river through the stone
You shaped a life I call my own
[Pre-Chorus]
And I break… but you remain whole
In the fold… you make me feel control
[Chorus]
You’re the layer that never breaks
Under pressure, under quakes
Sedimented in my soul
You’re the only thing that holds
Through the faults and through the fire
You’re the calm, you’re the empire
When the world fractures in two
I find the layers…
The layers of you
[Final Chorus – Explosive]
You’re the layer that never breaks
Through the tremors, through heartaches
A timeline etched in every scar
You show me who we really are
Through collapse and through repair
You’re the constant always there
When everything else comes unglued
I find the layers…
The layers of you
[Outro – Soft Fade]
Yeah, the layers of you…
Still holding me true…
In the deep, I knew…
There were always… layers of you
