(Verse 1) Frost on the timber, silence in the dark Tracing the fault lines, looking for the spark I tried to walk the perimeter alone But the compass spins back to the marrow and bone Out here in the quiet where the rivers freeze You’re the undeniable sickness, you’re the only disease I can't sweat out. (Pre-Chorus) It isn’t just a promise, it isn’t just a vow It’s a heavy iron chain dragging through the here and now I feel you in the static, I breathe you in the cold It's a fixed-cross karma that never gets old. (Chorus) We are lead, we are bone, we are tied at the soul Two halves of a wreck trying to make a whole You can pull, you can fight, you can tear at the seam But you’re the only ghost waking up in my dream Yeah, we’re locked in the orbit, nowhere to go Just the unvarnished truth of Erikah and Joe. (Verse 2) Every argument we bury, every silence we break Is just another tremor in the earth we shake I see the constellations in the scars you hide There’s no escaping when the planets collide It’s the friction of the dark, it’s the weight of the stone A frequency broadcasted for us alone. (Bridge) Don’t tell me it’s easy, don’t feed me the lie That the stars just aligned in a quiet night sky It’s the beautiful violence of the love and the hate It’s Pluto and Venus dictating the fate It’s the gravity pulling us down to the deep A visceral covenant we both have to keep. (Guitar Solo - heavy, distorted, echoing the isolation of the Alaskan interior) (Chorus) We are lead, we are bone, we are tied at the soul Two halves of a wreck trying to make a whole You can pull, you can fight, you can tear at the seam But you’re the only ghost waking up in my dream Yeah, we’re locked in the orbit, nowhere to go Just the unvarnished truth of Erikah and Joe. (Outro) Through the winter, through the rust In this heavy bond we trust Soul tied. Lead and bone. Nowhere left to run.
