The stars are cogs in a vaulted sky
Your pulse a pendulum drawing night's eye
We orbit close in this ticking sphere
Wound by the hands of a timeless year
The moon's pale spring uncoils its thread
Casting our shadows where whispers are wed
Two gears entwined in a silver trance
Dancing the dark's delicate dance Oh,
spin with me where the galaxies part
A constellation of breath and heart Though
springs may falter and chains unwind
We are the rhythm no time can bind
Sing sweet chaos of chaos and sparks
The clockwork love of colliding stars
A tremor slips through the iron embrace A
gear tooth chipped in the breathless race
You clutch my edges,
your brass gone warm Fearing the fracture,
the coming storm
The balance wheel shudders,
loses its beat Yet still we turn in our flawed fierce heat
For even a clockwork of dust and flaws
Keeps truer time than perfection laws
What if the mainspring cracks its rhyme?
What if the heavens forget to chime?
We'll scatter into stardust scripts
A language only
Eclipse has cripped
So let the final tick dissolve In
silent space where mysteries revolve
No gears,
no chains,
no measured rhyme Just your starlight
and mine
and mine
So let the final tick dissolve
In silent space where mysteries revolve
No gears, no chains, no measured rhyme
Just your starlight
and mine
and mine
