[Intro]
Whispers in shadow, a heartbeat kind and small
Beneath the roar of scales, a whisper hears a call
[Verse 1]
I wear the night like armor, teeth of glass and flame
The world sees thunder when I breathe, not the rain of pain
But in my chest a lullaby, soft as a moth’s own wing
If you look past the silhouette, you’ll hear a gentler thing
[Chorus]
Let me be more than the myth you fear
A quiet grace hides behind this veneer
If you meet my gaze, you’ll learn to see
A heart that yearns for your safety and me
[Verse 2]
You came with caution, eyes wide with old alarms
I offered patience like a shelter from the storms
We spoke in echoes, truth in copper tones
Two worlds colide and somehow find a home
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear is a wall that trembles when love is near
If we break the dawn, the dawn won’t disappear
[Chorus]
Let me be more than the myth you fear
A quiet grace hides behind this veneer
If you meet my gaze, you’ll learn to see
A heart that yearns for your safety and me
[Bridge]
Society shouts, but kindness speaks in soft, clear light
What glances warned of harm now blanket us in night
I am not the shadow you were taught to dread
You are the lighthouse guiding me ahead
[Chorus]
Let me be more than the myth you fear
A quiet grace hides behind this veneer
If you meet my gaze, you’ll learn to see
A heart that yearns for your safety and me
[Outro]
When prejudice falters, and excuses fade away
We’ll walk through the dawn, together, unafraid to stay
