Where the Black Turns Gold (v2)

Lyrics

She missed the mark beneath the white hot beam
One heel, one breath, one fractured dream The room went still, her silver seams
Held every bruise, the cameras gleamed Then from the floor, a second step
A dark twin moved where hers had slept It caught the scattered shapes by name
And drew blue rivers through the frame
She stood in grey, while her other self flew
One wall, the wound, one painted it blue Whenever I declared her through
The broken door made something new
The silhouettes linked like a midnight choir Black edges blooming, rose in fire
Her steady face, her lifted chin Stayed clear while all the streets turned in
No borrowed crown, no perfect start The wind was stitched from a fallen heart
By the final beat, the walls were gold And every failed step shone tenfold
She stood in grey, now the whole world flew Her scarlet devil split the blue
What once was lost became her view The dark had time and she broke through
She stayed herself, but changed the hue A hard-earned dawn in silver shoes
