(Verse 1 - Female Lead)
I keep the curtains drawn, I keep the lights dimmed low
They see the porcelain, they don't see the undertow
I’m carving out a kingdom from the wreckage in my head
Burying the echoes of the things I never said
They look at me and settle for the mask I put on tight
Safe within the borders, hidden from the blight
But there’s a tremor in my hands, a fault line in the floor
And I’m terrified that someone might just knock upon the door
(Pre-Chorus - Female Lead)
But you, you see the tatters in the veil
Where the demons clawed through, looking for a fail
When the silence gets loud and the walls start to bend
You’re the only one who doesn't look away from the end
(Chorus - Female Lead & Male Backup)
(Female) We’re walking on a bridge made of wire and rust
(Male) Holding on to shadows, holding on to us
(Female) It’s a long way down, a long way to fall
(Male) But I’m here, I’m steady, I’m standing by the wall
(Both) Let the abyss open wide, let the gravity pull
(Both) We’re burning a candle ‘til the light is full
(Both) It feels like we’re breaking, but we’re holding the frame
(Both) We’re dancing in the darkness, and we’re calling its name
(Verse 2 - Male Lead)
The air turns heavy, shifting—the static in the room
Unseen forces crawling, weaving through the gloom
They’re shadows at the corner, silent ‘til they’re near
Breath against my shoulder, feeding on the fear
I’m pushing back the pressure, the weight of the unknown
Wrestling the tether, standing on my own
I see you catching pieces of the sky that fell apart
While I fight to keep the fire from going cold within my heart
(Pre-Chorus - Duet)
(Female) You see the tatters in the veil
(Male) I see the demons clawing at the trail
(Both) When the silence gets loud and the walls start to bend
(Both) We’re the only ones who don't look away from the end
(Bridge - Duet)
(Female) If it breaks, let it break
(Male) If it falls, we will wake
(Female) I’m holding the flame, though my pulse is so fast
(Male) We’re building a future that’s meant to last
(Both) Higher than the fear, brighter than the night
(Both) We’re rewriting the story, we’re turning the light!
(Chorus - Duet)
(Both) We’re walking on a bridge made of wire and rust
(Both) Holding on to shadows, holding on to us
(Both) It’s a long way down, a long way to fall
(Both) But I’m here, I’m steady, I’m standing by the wall
(Both) Let the abyss open wide, let the gravity pull
(Both) We’re burning a candle ‘til the light is full
(Both) It feels like we’re breaking, but we’re holding the frame
(Both) We’re dancing in the darkness, and we’re calling its name
(Outro - Duet)
(Female) Just a candle in the room…
(Male) Pushing back the gloom…
(Female) Everything is okay…
(Male) We’re fighting through the gray…
(Both) Still standing on the wire.
(Both) Still breathing through the fire.
(Both) We’re okay.
