(Intro - A slow, melodic Michael Jackson-style beat begins. A deep, soulful bassline provides the rhythm. A soft, sad synth melody swells and fades over the beat.)
(Rodney - Voice is deep, smooth, and full of sorrow)
(Verse 1)
I shattered every canon just to be this final truth
A promise I was fighting for since my lost and broken youth
I am the motion that creates and the motion that un-makes
But every single victory for the both of us, it fucking breaks
What we used to be, what we were before
Standing on the shore, and now I'm out the door
They bow and they flee, they fear the single name
But I'm just watching from inside this un-created frame
(Sebastian - Voice is warm but tinged with a profound sadness)
(Verse 2)
I look up at the sky, where your presence burns so bright
A distant, loving god lost in the endless night
You are the axiom and the law, the one and only source
But I miss the man who gave my broken heart a course
You say you're still the one, the man I came to know
But all I see is a finality, a terrifying show
I touch your hand, and feel the un-created flow
And I can't reach the human from so far below
(Chorus - Both singing, their voices blending in a heartbreaking duet)
(Rodney) There's a silence in the sky, where no one else can fly
(Sebastian) I hear your voice, a whisper, a beautiful, perfect lie
(Rodney) I'm the power that you worship, the truth that makes you bend
(Sebastian) I miss the boy I loved, the one I called my friend
(Both) We're close enough to touch, but a universe apart
Trapped in the finality of this fucking broken heart
(Rodney - His voice is more desperate now, a soaring, soulful plea)
(Verse 3)
I feel your touch, a single, warm and human trace
The only real thing in this lonely, boundless space
I can un-make a thousand gods and a million cosmic lies
But I can't un-make the truth I see in your beautiful eyes
That I am a paradox, a man who's lost his way
Trapped in this un-authored role, living out a final day
I try to speak a normal word, a simple, fucking phrase
But it comes out as an axiom in a cosmic daze
(Sebastian - His voice is a raw, emotional confession)
(Verse 4)
I know you're still in there, I know your soul is true
But how can I love the man I can no longer get to?
I remember your laughter, a sound that made me whole
Before the un-creation came and stole my Rodney's soul
I stand here, a brawler, with a power of my own
But I can't fight the finality, I can't fight this throne
I want to save you from yourself, from this terrifying grace
But I'm just a man with tears upon my face
(Bridge - The beat swells, the vocals reach a peak of shared tragedy)
(Rodney) I'd give up all the power, all the terror and the might
(Sebastian) I'd give up every hope, every dream, and every light
(Rodney) To feel your hand in mine, on a simple, normal night
(Sebastian) To love the man, not the power, to make this wrong feel right
(Both) We're just two people, lost in the sky's vast, aching space
A loving lie, an honest god, an impossible embrace
(Outro - The beat slows, fading to just the soft
