Tarnished Weave

[Verse 1]
The quiet after felt like rust on every nerve,
A tarnished mirror where our truest flaws converged.
Words, like desert wind, sand-scoured every gilded claim,
Left us standing raw, whispering a different name.

[Chorus]
This silver filigree, bent, not broken by the blast,
A nightshade heart still beating, meant to ever last.
We learned the scars, each bitter truth, were threads that held us fast.

[Verse 2]
I saw the doubt bloom, chartreuse silk, unraveling slow,
Felt the weight of all the history we didn't know.
We carved each jagged silence, deep within the stone,
And faced the rawest self, we’d only glimpsed alone.

[Chorus]
This silver filigree, bent, not broken by the blast,
A nightshade heart still beating, meant to ever last.
We learned the scars, each bitter truth, were threads that held us fast.

[Bridge]
No gentle weave, no velvet drape to hide the fray,
Just hammered brass, reformed in the scorch of that hard day.
We walk this road, two wanderers, by dust and wisdom fed,
With all the unspoken stories, living in our head.

[Chorus]
This silver filigree, bent, not broken by the blast,
A nightshade heart still beating, meant to ever last.
We learned the scars, each bitter truth, were threads that held us fast.

[Outro]
The desert night, a vast, indigo embrace.
