[Verse 1]
There's movement in the stillness, I feel your eyes across the room
Strings tightening inside me, trembling like a distant drum
I speak in quiet thunder, my hands are rivers starved for rain
Your silence carves a canyon, daring me to cross the plain
[Pre-Chorus]
I draw a line between laughter and surrender
Each stolen glance, a challenge in the dark
[Chorus]
Between the stones, where longing sleeps
I taste danger on your breath, I lose my speech
You set embers in the marrow of my bones
And I’m melting at the threshold, unknown
[Verse 2]
The candle spits its secrets, the shadow of your smile takes hold
You move like myth, or omen, heavy presence, quiet bold
Heartbeat paces battle drums, echo through the silent ground
I’m caught between intentions, tangled in the stringless sound
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m undone by every layer, every word pressed under skin
Is it war or worship now, as the night pulls us in?
[Chorus]
Between the stones, where longing sleeps
I taste danger on your breath, I lose my speech
You set embers in the marrow of my bones
And I’m melting at the threshold, unknown
[Solo]
[Haunting oud solo, battle drums rise]
[Bridge]
Two shadows converge—fate in the hush, like thunder held
The air heavy with invention, breath woven, stories shelled
I reach for what’s forbidden, for what’s promised by your hands
In the tension, I am honest, in the silence, I can stand
[Chorus]
Between the stones, where longing sleeps
I taste danger on your breath, I lose my speech
You set embers in the marrow of my bones
And I’m melting at the threshold, unknown
[Outro]
(Oh, I am melting)
Between the stones
It’s always been you
Delay fades, strings fall through
