Cäts

(Verse 1)

I was born into a world where home was shaking ground,

Where shadows turned to storms without a sound.

But watching from the floor, a silent friend was there,

A gentle half-Siam who washed away my care.

I held him close and carried him through every single day,

The only safe retreat when words got in the way.

He taught my restless heart how pure a soul could be,

And showed a little girl what love means wild and free.

(Chorus)

'Cause humans wear their masks, they trade in locks and keys,

They ask for everything, then break you to your knees.

But you, you never speak, yet hear my every breath,

A quiet, holy vow that stands past life and death.

I feel you in the silence, I know you in the dark,

The truest kind of love that leaves an endless mark.

(Verse 2)

Then at sixteen they took my first piece of the light,

Disappeared into the dawn without a chance to say goodbye.

They tried to buy my grief, to trade it for a toy,

As if a plastic screen could heal a broken joy.

I swore right then and there I'd never look away,

I’d stand beside the weak through every storm and grey.

Through Fin, through every tear, and every battle fought,

I learned the heavy price of lessons love has taught.

(Chorus)

'Cause humans wear their masks, they trade in locks and keys,

They ask for everything, then break you to your knees.

But you, you never speak, yet hear my every breath,

A quiet, holy vow that stands past life and death.

I feel you in the silence, I know you in the dark,

The truest kind of love that leaves an endless mark.

(Bridge)

Now standing by the cage, through every sudden pain,

Holding Orion’s side through darkness and the rain.

Two brothers by my side, two mirrors of my soul,

The only ones who ever truly made me whole.

No logic, no deceit, just presence in the now,

I’ll be your guardian, I make this silent vow.

(Chorus)

'Cause humans wear their masks, they trade in locks and keys,

They ask for everything, then break you to your knees.

But you, you never speak, yet hear my every breath,

A quiet, holy vow that stands past life and death.

I feel you in the silence, I know you in the dark,

The truest kind of love that leaves an endless mark.

(Outro)

No words needed here...

Just resting in my hands.

The only love that stays.

The only love that understands.
