PAIRING

君の鼓動に この胸を重ねて 逃げ続けた心が 帰る場所を覚えた 君の鼓動で 痛みさえ歌になる 壊れたままの私を 愛してくれた I was born with this hole in my chest, like a portal to stress Every heartbeat was a warning, every morning a test Used to treat love like a war I could sort with a vest But the bullets were internal, they were forming a nest You put your hand on my chest, checked the tempo of pain Said, “Your metronome is metal but it’s ready to change” Then your touch rewrote the settings in my memory banks Now the echoes in my bones all remember you came I used to think commitment was a synonym for cage Like the minute that you love me is the minute that you change Like affection is a weapon with a ribbon and a blade And attention is a prison with a window full of rain No religion ever did it like your palm on my face No prescription ever fixed it like your calm in my space I was inches from the edge, you put balm on my hate Now my heart’s a busted compass that remembers its place 君の鼓動に この胸を重ねて 逃げ続けた心が 帰る場所を覚えた 君の鼓動で 痛みさえ歌になる 壊れたままの私を 愛してくれた You un-threaded all my myths, peeled the fiction from fact Showed me armor can be heavy, you can ditch it and last Said, “You’re carrying a past like it’s a mission to crash” Then you kissed me through the whiplash of my instinct to dash Now the exit signs flicker when I look in your eyes All my exit lines wither, I ain’t booking goodbye I’ve been crooked and tired, you’ve been hooking my spine Back together with a rhythm I mistook for a high See, your heartbeat is the beat that I sync my demons to They’ve been screaming through my speakers since I peeked at the womb But your chest is like a bass line where my secrets can bloom Every fear becomes a lyric, every tear becomes proof See, your heartbeat is the beat that I sync my demons to They’ve been screaming through my speakers since I peeked at the womb But your chest is like a bass line where my secrets can bloom Every fear becomes a lyric, every tear becomes proof 君の鼓動に この胸を重ねて 逃げ続けた心が 帰る場所を覚えた 君の鼓動で 痛みさえ歌になる 壊れたままの私を 愛してくれた
